Just spoke with IPP about SMIC pricing...

[JayyyyyC]

-Edit-


So I got a reply from Sergio this morning and here is a shot of the e-mail:



So $649 is our price shipped.

Mods, this group buy is not going on, just testing out the interest.

For those interested, the link in that e-mail is this:

ive heard and seen that ipp isnt that great...so is there any new info on it that i havent seen yet...and you can get JHM fmic for 600..

[JayyyyyC]

Dunno. This was just put out for those interested in IPP's stuff. I haven't committed to anything yet. Just want to keep as many options open as possible.

[S4evr]

those look pretty nice, anyone have a link to the rs4 ipp's?

Any info/ logs on the IAT's after 'upgrading' to IPP's smic's?
that's the real question!

ER's should be better for the difference in price.
I don't know about RS4's but ER's seem to be best around and as good as FMIC, So the diff between IPP and Awe should not be so great I think...
and especially the diff between IPP and RS4 would be interesting and not that stupid test with the hairblower and stuff..
I drove My car today in 31.5° outside , thats around 90 fahrenheit and it pulled like the stockers did in wintertime and still felt strong all in all it was a good investment for 700$...

Damn... ER SMIC's have 20F less IAT at the end of just one third gear pull...

For the lazy.

[Audi_S4]

they better cause else it woud be a waiste to buy them.

I didn't want to buy ER's cause I had to pay 1250 + 150 postage wile IPP only asked half

ER are the way to go IF you wanna go BIG power and have the funds, I wanted to but had other things on my mind for now.

The day I go BIG power i'll just buy a Meth/water kit for 500 and be cooler then any IC there is.

and I'm a little new in this logging stuff, but how do you guys think an RS4 would compare to these IPP's on this same run this guy did. better or worse ...

135 Fahrenheit = 57,2222222 graden celsius
115 Fahrenheit = 46,1111111 graden celsius

I don't think this is so bad of an intake temp or am I wrong with the outside temp of +- 70F

Yeah, I didn't want to take away from this IPP thread, but most logs were comparison and it just so happened that this was vs ER. I think everyone agress that ER's are just about the best performing smic you can get. They are by no means plug and play like the IPP's are, so that's another factor to consider.

I would say ER's are on a whole other level.

ER IAT Delta (3rd) = 5-6F
IPP IAT Delta (3rd) = 36-37F

Stock RS4 intercoolers? IPP claims their SMIC are 38% larger than RS4 intercoolers.

i thought i read that ipp makes the s4 type smic's which are bigger than the rs4 style but also ones for the rs4 which are hugge. genjdm said this i believe? any more insight on this?

I don't see why they would make an intercooler kit for the S4 and RS4 when the one they have is already 38% bigger than the RS4. They only list one product on the website.

ok i was just gettin confused by this thread about the ipp smic
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220904
they talk about rs4 and s4 style ic's

[SilverSurferS4]

Just to clarify things, IPP makes 2 intercoolers, one for the U.S S4 and one for the German RS4.

The S4 IPP intercoolers are like 30-40% bigger than the stock S4 intercoolers..
The Rs4 IPP intercoolers are also 30-40% bigger then the stock Rs4 intercoolers...

Dont quote me exactly on how much bigger they really are, but i just remember seeing that on one of their ebay auctions when they were selling them....

I also have the IPP S4 intercoolers and for 400$ slightly used... they were one of the best mods done to my stage 2+ S4.....

The car keeps pulling and doesnt die after 1 run... after about 3-4 runs in 90 degree weather... i felt the car not pull as hard up top... but like everything else that was expected... especially in 90 degree heat.

Well then maybe I stand corrected. That would put them on par size wise with ER's then, and most likely installation as well. But where are they advertised and how much do they cost?

[Reich]

I would say it's worth to save more and buy ER's. They're only 2'' square smaller than fmic and no overheating issue, no big triming. See the diff bween stock and ER

[casawhites4]

i like those 2inches!!! lol

[JayyyyyC]

-Update-



To stir up more interest, $650 shipped is the price, if there was a group buy of 5 people.

[revhards4]

I have an 18-21 degree delta with my IPP's...not bad by any means for a side mounts that can be purchased for $600-$700...the ER's are the best no doubt but for $1350 I'll deal with the extra 10-15 degree delta with the IPP's thank you very much

[Audi_S4]

word!

IPP = cheap and Good!
ER = expensive and Better!

[Tifosi]

Does anyone have IAT logs that compares stock ICs to the IPP ICs ? TIA.

[Slow4]

Jay....

I know I'm a little late on this deal but I was wondering how long would this deal last for? Would it ever arise again in light of the recent demands for these parts? I've heard that ER is still short on supply.
