Hi all,

Currently working in CA atm and have found a few good Zed owners out here. One has offered me a set of Godspeed side mounted Intercoolers. Q. Are they any good and are they a direct fit?

Anyone got them on a zed here in the UK?

Any help appreciated, as I think they will just fit in the suitcase if they are worth bringing home :)

Pretty sure they are the same as the Jspspeed ones I have. Bit of fettling to fit but yeah they fit pretty easy. From the reviews I’ve read they are an improvement over stock but not on a par with say Ash spec ones etc. If they’re cheap, get them.

Yes good IC's, as Stephen says if they are a good price, bring back in your suitcase!

Pretty sure they are the same as the eBay ones everyone runs.

 

If you have the carbon canister they are a pain to fit. My ones didn't line up to the stock brackets.

I got them for $100 for the pair so they are coming home with me! I could have got a Greddy front mount instead, but I was under the impression SMIC's are slightly better suited to the Z than FMIC's (although its probably just a personal preference thing - each owner to themselves!)..

You mean HIGHLY better suited and not at all a personal preference thing.

 

All to often I steered you away from front mounts :lol:

Well done Greg. Bargain!

they are good intercoolers but do take bit of modding mondo has them on his zed

Got them on my 300, good fit and cannot fault them. I did remove the CC and relocated the washer bottle for better airflow. Also, modified the front repeaters as the filament holder just snags on the IC.

It looks like I have some work to install them then! I'd be interested to see some pics of the filament mod and where the washer bottle was relocated to.

I might to tart up the front bumper at the same time at the paint shop - can't have nice IC's and a crappy bumper! :)

I think there’s details in my build thread of the indicator mod. Wasn’t hard. I left the washer bottle.

Carbon canister I put a lot of effort into bending the pipes upwards, but in the future it will be deleted.

 

Indicator mod I got a picture somewhere (I put a pic in Stephens thead I think, I'll find it later if not)

 

Washer bottle can stay where it is.

 

And I made up some flat metal pieces for the intercooler top mount.

 

PM me if you need more info

I fitted a carbon canister from an R33 GTR to mine, they’re much smaller and plumb straight in. In my opinion, it is a mistake not to have a CC fitted as you can really smell the vapours and the smell of fuel becoming “acceptable” or normal could mask a more serious problem!

Is it just a case of swapping the hoses and making a mount?

I wouldn’t say mine smells of fuel tbh Joel.

Not sure what size they are in comparison with the Ashspec ones however I had to cut the back of my indicators off and switch my indicators to the sidelight bulb as the Ashspec massives are exactly as they are called.

Stock compared to them.

 

Also they are thicker
