adznight Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Getting a custom intercooler made from Race Radiators in Dandenong. About $700 for a 80mm 640x270 I think. thats a side feed then back around the bottom so there is no piping over the engine. both pipes on the same side like the stock cooler.

dabigbolf Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 ahk. yeah well if i did that i would hit the ground all the time. car sits too low with the heavier motor in it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15805-south-eastern-suburbs-cooler-piping/#findComment-323205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest INASNT Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 the return pipe to the stock ic piping is crap for overall airflow velocity Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15805-south-eastern-suburbs-cooler-piping/#findComment-323353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adznight Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 No it would still be replaced, no way that I'd still use stock piping. It would bottle neck the flow, no point changing the cooler!

makaveli Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Hey Adzmax The custom coolers at Race Radiators in Dande are they cut down form truck coolers? And is about $700 for fitting and piping? I got a 32 gts-t with a gtr front so u think that cooler would fit in there nicely? Is 640x270 a good size? Sorry if i sound dumb im tryin to find out which will be best for my car. :uh-huh: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15805-south-eastern-suburbs-cooler-piping/#findComment-324444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adznight Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well I'm no pro by any means but I went into thier workshop and saw them making them. They are not cut down truck coolers they are all brand new bits. I told him the type of car I had and he gave me two options. A 60mm for $650ish and an 80mm for $750ish. Thats a mandrel bend pipe at the bottom so it feeds back the same way it came in. They are good for heaps of preasure too. The fitting was about $300ish from memory but it still works out cheaper than buying a kit and it's all fully installed for you too! There may be cheaper options but I want it done the right way with good quality materials. If you read my first post thats the guy that they recomend to fit em. Hope that helps.

dabigbolf Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 dandyexhaust quoted $600 for chrome hpc coated mild steel. thats with silicon and that. but i have to fit the cooler myself. which aint too hard. race readiatiors get there cooler piping done by dandy exhausts most of the time, and that is not inclusive with the cooler. so extra ontop of $700. they dont use truck cores.

makaveli Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 ehh Adzmax thanks heaps mate i should be gettin a cooler shortly im just gonna save some $$$, i gave them a call yesterday and spoke to them a bit, sounds very professional. I will go for the $750 one. Where did you get the piping done coz the guy there refered me onto a guy that does the fitting and piping. I called him to and he said it would cost $550 to fit with silicone hoses and stainless steel piping. What do you think about that? Is that a good price? Thanks heaps man for your help!!!!
