I'm looking at getting a new front mount intercooler kit for my R32 GTS-T and have never bought one before

Just looking for experienced peoples opinions on these two kits that are available from various forum traders. Which kit is the best vale for money and the best quality and also if anyone has fitted these kits to a 32 tell us what u think of them and their specs etc if possible.

-All posts appreciated cheers everyone!!!

Aaron.

The Greddy M-Spec cores are the same intercoolers as the Just Jap Type 2 intercoolers only their kits are $499 for forum members.

I would imagine performance differences between them would be negligible :thumbsup:

^^^ A friend of mine installs coolers.. He told me that justjap type 1 coolers are much better fit than type 2s..

Anyways back on topic.. I would go for Greedy. Just for the brand name sake and coolness!! heheh

i fitted a hybrid copy kit to my r33, paid $400 for the full kit and certainly no complaints here. excellent value for money. Cant see the advantage a Greddy/HKS/Hybrid kit would give me.....

Which coolers retain the stock intercooler piping where pipes from both end tanks return to where the stock cooler is attached to?

So far I know Blitz, and AVO has them...

Any more brands guys?

Trust / GReddy SPL-V ( have one in my car ).

I bought a couple of r32 kits from gktech on ns.com - ended up being $380 delivered.

If you're going for a low range intercooler I don't see the dilemma... $380 vs $750??

If you're going for a showcar/high power or have money to pay the premium you get then get the greddy.

There's no way the China kits are as good looking quality wise but we're only talking finish if you're looking at an entry level cooler.

If it was my own car I'd be looking to use a Calsonic made GTR cooler in good condition and get a el cheapo China piping kit, but that's just me.

Trust Spec-M = China Kit with Trust branding stamped all over it.

While I prefer Japanese made parts, if I was in the market for a typical type intercooler for a GTS-T and I knew that there was virtually no difference between a Trust Spec-M and the other China origin kits around, I couldnt justify spending the extra money for nothing but a name.

I didn't know it was made in China.

Fair enough my point still stands though - if you NEED a $750-$2000 kit get one. If you don't car or just need something for 200rwkw then get the forum sponsor nonames.

I'd still be going the Calsonic >_<

I think we need confirmation on this Chinese core..

Consider it confirmed, the Trust Spec-M intercooler is manufactured in China or Taiwan, I forget which.

Same intercooler as the Type 2 core from Just Jap, only with a higher price tag and a Greddy plate aboard.

Yes the Mspec is made in China, but it's made to Trust/Greddy quality, they wouldn't risk their reputable name selling an inferior product. So although they’re made in china, (also making them cheaper) there quality is of all Greddy products. For what it's designed for it's perfect, if your chasing big big horsepower it's obviously not going to be the intercooler of choice. Any way I’ll confirm what a post said above, these kits have been very very popular and there on back order, i think there struggling to keep up with demand.

Struggling to keep up with demand? Not quite. They had only just been announced when forum traders here started offering them, and the reason nobody had them was they hadnt even finished production. They are only just becoming available in Japan stores now

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
