Has anyone heard about the Greddy spec M front mount intercooler that is made in Taiwan (not Japan) ,Do you guys think that is geniune greddy if that cost $600 which is selling on ebay. I'm thinking to get one for my 33 and worry that is cheap fake ....A friend of mine said that intercooler is fake and better get a hybrid one. What u guys think??

the core is the same as the china coolers but the end-tanks are piping and trust items.

I personally buy it. ive have a china kit on my car and now ive upgrade to a trust kit and the difference is huge the piping fits perfectly and does not hit my bonnet or fan and the over-all quality of the kit is very good.

the reason why its cheaper than the other trust kit is because the core uses a bar and plate design compare to the other ones which are tube and fine

everything these days are made in Taiwan/china

even the sticker that say "MADE IN USA' are made in china

nothing is wrong with the product if it is made there

remember at one stage made in japan was like saying made in china

i dont think my Hks type s intercooler was made in china.

you will be surprises the amount of produces which are made in china, its purely to do with the cost of manufacturing. As its is cheaper to make something in China than USA/Australia/Japan etc etc

If you are worried about the ebay item being a genuine M Spec intercooler, there should be Greddy stamped in white on the top of the cooler but no where else. I should know I have Greddy M Spec intercooler. Some of the other Greddy coolers have "Greddy" stamped on the end tanks and possibly some of the piping but I don't know for sure

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
