Low Cost Intercoolers - Which One?

[Haxorz]

I’m currently looking at an Intercooler for my R34 GTT. I just can’t resist those low low prices! (thanks China).

The three standout ones seem to be:

Just Jap - http://www.justjap.com/parts_nintercoolers.htm ($499 on the website)

Croydon Racing Developments - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=127373 ($349 forum price)

Hypergear - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=132082 ($350 forum price)

BTW I’d rather get one from one of these guys than eBay.

Are all of these pretty much the same? Are they the same?

Can any R34 owners comment on them? Piping line up OK?

Boy, I remember back in the day when you’d have to add a 1 in front of these prices...

Hey Dude, I think it all comes down to what power figure your chasing and if your car is going to be used for street, drift or drag...

For street use with a mild modded R33/R34... the $350 FMIC (bar/plate)kits will be more then enough... anything from 10 - 20 psi IMO

CRD are getting a new tube/fin FMIC kit from what i read in the traders section so you should keep an eye out for that... should be at a good price too..

Yeah, I'm not going to go over say 220-230rwkw. The question is, are these all just about as good as each other? Should I just go for the one closest to me to save on a bit of postage costs (and potential hassle)?

Yea those GK Tech FMIC kits have had some good feed back... Although the CRD tub/fin FMIC kit for $375 is comming soon... seems pretty close to the HYBRID GT Spec...

Any of those kits will do fine...

Go with the GKTech.

He's been trading on here longer than CRD, and was the first to price em so low at $349

I've seen em...and if you were thinking of wasting money on a hybrid, go for the gktech and get basically the same thing without the price tag!
