Greddy Spec-m Intercooler Any Good?

[Peter]

Hi!

Searched the forums but couldn't find any comments on this particular cooler....

Is a Greddy Spec-M Intercooler any good for an R33 with an RB25DET?

Here is a link to one....

Or do you have any other suggestions for FMIC kits around the same price?

Thanks!

Pete

i wouldnt pay that much for a cooler..

check some of the sponsors on here they usually got some goign around the 700 mark

or u can get a china one for about 400

you can buy the Greddy M-spec Kit for around $600-$700 brand new. the Intercooler itself is very similar if not the same as a china cooler (i believe the end tanks are different thou).

my personal opinion is if your looking for a cheaper opinion intercooler kit go for it as the piping is spot on and not like the crappy china kits!

the pricing at modyourcar is either really really expensive or they haven't updated it yet. i just went with hybrid kit(really happy with it) because i couldn't justify paying extra for greddy and most people say greddy is good as well but can't tell difference between the two in terms or performance,quality etc for price difference.

Thanks for the prompt advice

In between checking for replies I was searching the net for prices and come across these web site...

http://www.nengun.com

Alot of things, including the branded intercoolers appear to significantly cheaper than say modyourcar, as Onthehunt suggested ($880 compared to $430 for the M-Spec!)...Has anyone had any dealings with them before?

I'll check the sponsors too, thanks for the suggestion MMM

Cheers,

there is a thread on here somewhere about nengun and experiences with dealing with them(about 15pages long). general consensus is that they are good but be prepared to wait a little while for your products.

Might be right on the pipework. The hybrid kit is not bad but i would have like to have seen the pipework done just a little neater, and the instruction as to where to drill the hole on the drivers side on an r33 is wrong. Drill about 20mm further forward. Just my experience.

Good luck with your intercooler!

remeber you got the vspl kit which has a tube and fine cooler, the m-spec uses a bar and plate and the core is very similar if not the same as the china spec core

[Peter]

Thanks for the advice everyone ....based on what you said, I will have a bit more of a look at the coolers and different options available....I'll search for that thread on nengun and see what is says.....

Michael, you said "remeber you got the vspl kit which has a tube and fine cooler, the m-spec uses a bar and plate and the core is very similar if not the same as the china spec core"

Is a tube and fin cooler better than a bar and plate cooler?? The tube and fin coolers seem to be more expensive in general, but do they perform any better?
