just wanted to give a review of the ebay "godspeed" intercoolers - SRT Forums

Well i know i was kinda of scared to order it, but suprisingly enough, it was easy to install, minus a few bumps i caused for myself. The only thing i would recommend is to buy the one that has a round pipe on the hot side, not the oval pipe, it makes fitting into that small space pretty tough, especially since its easier to hook the hot side pipe up to it while its off the car then run it to the hard pipe thats connected to the body. I havent realyl been able to test the power gain, but i did feel a lil more get up and go out of my car after i put it on last night, maybe tonight ill be able to give some firm response on power increase it gave.

Words of Wisdom When Installing....
-Dont over torque the nuts that hold the intercooler to the frame, the bolts that are connected to the frame CAN/WILL come out of place. lol.
-If the above happens, and you decide to use self-tapping metal screws to hold it onto the frame, move the wiring harness that goes to the fog light and turn signal, cuz you MAY drill through it and be wondering how installing an intercooler can lead to electrical issues.

Other then my personal mistakes, it was an easy install, decent power gains so far, and cheap at that. Hope this helps any future intercooler buyers.

I have some pics on my phone, i gotta find my cord tho to upload them, and its just pics of it on my couch before and after being painted and next to the stock one. But yea, i just wanted to help those people who are skeptic about it, and obviously all the other good replies people left about it will help. theres numerous sellers, the one i bought mine from i believe is turbo-international or somethin like that. 219.99 shipped Im sure for the little you would gain by buying a big named one, your saving in money, i cant imagine more than a 5hp increase between this and another brand, and most others are over 600 so for the extra 300, your looking at maybe 5 more hp, im not willing to spend 60 per hp, shoot ill take all the seats out and drive with my hands and knees to gain that haha. great product tho, highly recomended.

We just bought an intercooler setup for an integra from there here at the shop... come in and very nice piece... and piping was nice as well... along with the cast manifold... so far so good...

I don't have a BFMIC yet, but through my searching on reviews to buy one, I have heard tons of good things about this IC.

glenb1991 · 09-13-2009, 10:51 AM

yea i just wanna remind people this is NOT a real godspeed. It's just an ebay version, because even the godspeed ones are i think over 400. but Slammed0, your money would be well spent, and installation is a breeze, like many other things on this car. gotta love the srt-4 haha
