Hey guys, i was looking into getting a spearco ic today. When i called turbonetics they told me they will no longer offer the spearco ic kit to the public or vendors. Dinan has bought the rights to this kit and it will become an exclusive only sold at dinan. I was able to find one in stock from an online site...their last one...got a good deal on it for 1200 when msrp is 1500. Ill bet ya dinan sells this kit for 2000 dollard just like everything else, but with a warranty, lata guys.

[O-cha]

Dinan has probably bought the sole rights to exclusively use spearco core, not the design of the intercooler (which is basically choosing what size core end tanks and fittings). Spearco have a unique core design that is coveted by many.

Dinan will likely design their own intercooler.


That is one dinan product I would buy, too much of a pain in the butt to take it out for service (No need if it was dinan), and one of the parts that will REALLY benefit from the R&D that goes into dinan products.

Hahaha that would be funny if my FMIC went up in value... I could call it a dinan FMIC.hahaha

idk..im just relaying the message. I asked turbonetics if i could order one and they told me no and i should contact dinan. Then i called back thinking it was a mistake, and maybe he thought i said oil cooler cause i ddint think dinan offered a intercooler. But when i called he explained to me how dinan will be selling it exclusively. I than called an online site who sold spearco, they asked for the dimensions i needed, i had no idea though...so maybe you can order the parts separatly and make a kit yourself with their universal cores.

Don't worry, RPI will be there and they won't be ripping you off.

Doubt it. Only a retard would pay $3500 for an Intercooler.

you would think dinan could come up with an intercooler themselves...

I was always under the assumption that 90% of Dinan products were simply relabeled DINAN and sold for more with warranty.

Retards also pay $2000 for an oil cooler that costs $100 But hey it has a Dinan badge and a warranty right??

I agree these guys will try to charge $3500 for an intercooler....they might add some Dinan hoses and clamps to justify the price.

Read, they likely "licensed" exclusive rights to use spearcos CORE, not turbonetics intercooler design. Spearco has a unique core design, people buy their cores and turn them into inctercoolers.

Dinan has no reason to buy turbonetics design. If they did then . You got me.

True, but it will make my used FMIC sell better than it would have now that its only sold by Dinan for $3500... Some Dinan lover will pick it up for $1500 later on

So you are saying Speaco will not be allowed to sell cores to anyone? I don't know about that. Seems like way too much gray area.

Dinan has a nack for using other designs. Don't make me bring up the infamous BMW... I mean Dinan M3 short shifter. In their defense they did paint it a different color.

I'm with you on not having to worry about warranty in this case since it's not easily removable, but of course you still couldn't have any other non Dinan product on the car. i.e. Procede, Xede, Suxede, downpipes, other exhaust, etc.

dont forget the dinam emblem! lolz.


as for relabeling 90% of the stuff. i never knew anything about that. i thought it was all exclusive like their suspension, intake, exhaust, throttle bodies..

^^^^ At least someone has some common sense around here.

Apparently some of you guys CANNOT read. O-cha pointed out the fact that Dinan will develop their own intercooler based off of the Spearco core.

They aren't going to just slap a Dinan logo on it.

I also find it hilarious that if something made by Company A is $1800 it is God's gift to Earth, but if something is made by Dinan and is $2500 it is wildy, widly overpriced. Is Dinan stuff more expensive? Yeah. It's not as bad as you guys make it out to be. And yes, it has a warranty. I happen to be someone that values it. But I don't go popping into threads ripping others for buying products without warranties.

Sorry to rant but I never bitch about the price of other company's mods, maybe some of the Dinan haters just need to increase their cash flow weight and then they won't have to so much about the prices.

I REALLY hope they don't use it in the first place. Increasing intercooler depth as an "upgrade" is pretty poor practice when it comes to intercoolers. You decrease efficiency over volume and increase static pressure in front of the intercooler do to the increase in resistance from the depth. Both of which are very bad. I'll bet most gains it has over stock is solely due to the core design being better. not the intercooler design itself. That's pretty much what it is, is an IC with more depth and barely any increase to frontal area.

I will agree with you there. I hope they use a different design as well. We'll just have to wait and see.

Explain to me how Dinan could buy the rights to the core though. Spearco supplies many people and companies with cores. What exactly did Dinan buy then?

I think you have to spend like 5k in upgrades for an emblem ...$3500 wont cut it ....youll have to get Dinan mats and shifter with it....that should put you over 5k...then youll get the emblem.
Seriously though i think Dinan makes good products and a warranty would be great, just not practical for me. You could get the flash, oil cooler, and intercooler from them and your price tag will prob be about 10k. I could do alot sicker modding with 10k and change left over if something breaks.
