anyone running jwt tt with greddy intercooler?

[gen05]

i saw couple guys here running jwt tt with greddy intercoolers, cant find the threads anymore. just wondering what is needed to do this intercooler conversion, there is a pipe that runs to the middle of the jwt intercooler, wondering where does that go once you change it to greddy, please provide info thanks

let me make a diagram, because I'm under the impression you are missing a key component to this....

greddy fmic (I=intake piping connected to plenum)
..._____________
>|____________|
>|____________>I

JWT TWIN FMIC
**________****_________
>|_______|> I<|________|<
the arrows represent the intake charge from the turbos

Basically the greddy is one i/c with two entrances, one exit to the intake mani, and the jwt is two individual intercoolers meeting together ala y pipe to go into the intake manifold.
This is one of the reasons (besides water cooling, and low end torque) I think the jwt kit is a better track kit....

Maybe this helped? But for the most part I think you would have to do full custom intake piping off the turbos. IMO if you are going to do that much work to get the FMIC to fit, you might as well buy a cheaper I/C. But don't fear FMIC piping, its a lot easier than it seems.

NP glad I could help!
Do a quick google image search of "greddy 350z fmic" and "jwt 350z fmic" and you can see it even better.

XKR did run the JWT with Greddy. Forged has done it a few times, Sharif said the JWT piping can be modified to work with the Greddy IC. It is supposed to be very good for helping prevent heat soak on track days as well as less restriction when making big power. Look at XKRs build in the shop builds section the pictures below are not XKR but another Forged customer.

The customer originally had the complete JWT 530bb Kit on the car, and like many us...eventually wanted more power.

We have found that after about 500whp or so, the JWT intercooler setup is too restrictive to continue making good efficient power. Moving to the large core Greddy intercooler gives us all the overhead we need.

Key Components:

Forged Performance S1 Shortblock
JWT C2 Camshafts
Fcon Vpro Complete EMS with Knock Amp
HKS 1000cc Injectors
Carbonetic Triple Disc Clutch

Just thought I would share.

so the idea is that a thicker core is more resistant to heat soak im taking it? Seems logical, but I dont have the $ to worry about that
nice pickup on that though, i now remember seeing this on XKR's build thread

What is the aluminum canister in the third picture of XKR's build?

Custom coolant overflow container that we made. This is not xkrs car, however, it's another one we did.

XKR has a G not a Z noobs......

buy my extra brand new greddy IC kit please
