EdubT5m Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 i used cx racing pipes for my rip kit and they r great. they come with really nice couplers and heavy duty t bolt clambs. the ends of the tubes also have a lip so the couplers cant easily slide off like some others i've seen. i've never blown a coupler off since i've had the pipes on. i'd say try it outalthough i've never heard of anyone using an intercooler from them.

JVC Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 the RIP kit isn't an aftermarket FMIC though, I think you are missing the point. I think that kit would be good but you might need a few additional pipes or different bends. Check out this thread...http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=102208that should help you out a lot with your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yep, just buy the cxracing pipes and pick out your own intercooler. I would suggest a Precision 350hp unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownTurboBrick Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 PM oreo, he can tell you exactly what you need. RIP is a waste of money and time. this FMIC setup will benefit you so much more and for a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACES70 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Is This kit worht a shit?What setup is everyone running?I ran that setup for a bit. Well worth it to test out the form and funtion, but after the core needs to be upgraded to work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdubT5m Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I ran that setup for a bit. Well worth it to test out the form and funtion, but after the core needs to be upgraded to work great.so how does it run with the cx racing core? can u notice a diff. with that one in or did it not do too much till u put a new intercooler in?

Livvakt Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Mine's being sourced together as we speak. Going with a Skyline R34 core from Forge Motorsport and all of the aluminum and silicon bends are being fabbed up through siliconhoses.com... Been in the works for awhile now, but quality takes time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynodyno312 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 so how does it run with the cx racing core? can u notice a diff. with that one in or did it not do too much till u put a new intercooler in?I amusing a CXRacing core and noticed a difference. Not so much extra power but the car runs better on hot days and the smaller core reduces spool-up time a little. I'm sure going to a higher-quality core would help the pressure loss but for the stock 16t I think my ebay core is doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livvakt Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I just love the logic of "I'm gonna get a RIP kit and it'll be the same as getting a FMIC"."I'm just getting a muffler from AutoZone, it'll be the same as getting a 3" TB exhaust!!!"
