Ended! Gb: Gktech Front Mount Kits! $400! Ended!

[dezz]

Ok guys i'm organising a group buy for the GKTech front mount kits.

Starting 15/5 and ending in 2 weeks on the 29th/5 (or when we have 10 buyers, another GB will be started if this 1 fills)

Kits available to suit

S13/S14/S15

R32/R33/R34

A31

RNN14 GTi-R AND GC8 WRX!!

Details on the kits :

The front mount bar and plate intercooler kits are constructed entirely of high quality 6061 aluminum and the intercooler core is 100% vacuum brazed. The polished aluminum end tanks are hand TIG welded for a perfect fit. The ambient fin pitch has been adjusted to provide an optimal fin density of 15 fins/inch. This gives the intercooler excellent flow properties as well as a large cooling surface area, and the efficient Bar & Plate core takes advantage of these properties. The piping is all mandrel bent and contains only 1 weld mark throughout the whole kit. The kit includes 1x 600x 300x 76mm intercooler, polished aluminimum piping, all brackets, nuts, bolts, tripple layer silicon hoses, clamps etc.

The kits are designed to be installed DIY and are very easy to install.

Features & Specs:

-All TIG Welded 6061 Aluminum, polished end tanks

-100% Vacuum Brazed Core

-High Efficiency Bar & Plate Construction

-3 popular Sizes available

-Inlet/Outlet: 3inch

-Low pressure drop w/ only 0.2psi at 15psi of boost

-Tested CFM: 1020 CFM

We need 10 buyers for the GB to go ahead, so post in here if you're in. Kits will be purchased once we have 10 buyers, and sent out soon after purchase.

PLENTY of these kits have been sold on SAU and ns.com etc...they're good quality, not some shoddy product...

genuine hybrids are $1200+ in store...and imo dont really compare to Blitz and ARC kits of similar price...but thats just my opinion

Hybrid is a brand that is manufactured in China, they market their products very well and spend A LOT of money on marketing. The gktech product fits great and is as good as the Hybrid, if not better. The reason the gktech kit is so much cheaper is that Greg (the owner) doesn't spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on marketing.

Assuming you are talking about the R33 GTS-T kit you have to remove your piping that connects to the intercooler, remove your front bar, get a whole saw and cut a 3" hole just below the washer bottle (the exact location is in the installation guide), mount the intercooler with the provided brackets, mount the piping and silicon hoses, check to make sure the top pipe is not touching the fan blade (some people do say it touches slightly, others are fine, if it does touch you will need to trim the blade slightly accrodingly) and then tighten up the clamps once everything is fitted. The vacuum hose which was on the stock intercooler pipe is now to be T pieced off another vacuum hose (the hose that comes from the wastegate).

Overall the kit is not hard to install. If when installing your get into any difficulty we're available 7 days a week to help over the phone or email, PM, sms etc. etc.

The R33 GTS-T, R34 GTT and Stagea all require the same mods listed above.

Overall it's quite an easy kit to install and will certainly fill your gap in the front bar

[EGA41T]

is this how the piping runs on your kits, if so im very interested in purchasing a kit

[Musky]

definitely got my interest. will let you know asap.

And wat exactly is the difference between 'bar and plate' and 'tube and fin'? Any performance gain/loss using the bar and plate in this kit?

Thanks mate

[GKTECH]

The RB25 kit is the same as the R32 GTS-T further up the page.

This fits much better than the one you have hosted EGA41T as you can see where there is an extra pipe in our kit on that one there is not and the angle's aren't right where the 2 pipes meet up.

Musky - Bar and plate cools better, whereas tube and fin flows better. It's a catch 22 :S

P.S I'm leaving for Taiwan in a few hours and won't be back until Wednesday week. I may not be able to reply to queries within the usual 12 hour period. Sorrt for the inconvenience.
