Please give me some advice

both Price is very samiler

Which one will works better?

run 360KW @ all wheels

thanks a lot for any advice

[R31Nismoid]

Stock works perfectly fine...

However if you must change it, you would say the larger of the two would cool best

However the smaller would offer better response

thanks mate,i know which one i need

[VB-]

both those coolers are built for alot higher hp than that, i doubt you would see any difference between them.

are you buying a full kit or getting custom piping made up? i'd use whichever one fits easiest/has inlet/outlet in the best spot

They just sell the core, I have to buy a piping kit. Looking at the hks kit(2in 2out)

Someone told me that the stock piping easy to broken if boost over 1.2bar

[R31Nismoid]

lol you've been told rubbish mate. Plenty of people running 20+ psi stock piping.

in all honesty, you don't need to change the core. stock is more than adequate.

save your money

the stock core has been demaged， that’s why have to change。。

Gt2860-5R BOOST 1.3BAR（18.2psi） will make the stock piping come loose or crack， is that ture？

Best local intercoolers for my 2c

In fact the guys there make things to match the application. Not 'bolt on boy' style. Their products are second to none.

I had one made for my old gtr, similar size to stock. However it out performed it both in power and response.

Have a look at your hoses, if they look old they can crack or come loose, if they look new they should be OK.

I replaced mine with full HKS SPL kit mainly for looks though, my hoses were fine

Who told you they will crack or come loose at 1.3 Bar?

it will not come loose if the clamps are done up tight enough

Is that 2 in and 2 out pipings in the HKS SPL kit?

As i know the NISMO piping kit are exectly the same as stock piping.

How is the fittment of HKS piping kit?

They told me it's easy to happen not must be

[dave32gtr]

I agree, don't worry about replacing your pipe work. I run 1.3 bar (not all the time though) and over the last 3 years I have blowen a pipe off probably 3 times. Just put a screw driver in your car to put it back on. If it is a problem it is easy to replace later anyway. As for intercoolers, mine is 600 x 300 x 90 I can't say that I have realy noticed much lag from going bigger. I can't say I really saw any real gains from it either, but I did it for looks. I would go with what VB said, get the one that fits the easiest.

Blowing a pipe of is not really a problem because your car will run rich if you do, which means your not going to damage anything. Save your money it's probably not going to be a problem anyway.

This one.

[Cartman]

stock piping is 3 1/4"

[mr-r33]

stock piping is 3 1/4"

would that be the same on a R33 GTST??

[Cartman]

No, we are talking gtr's here... stock for gtst is 2.5 like you guessed.

ok thanks ...and sorry for the hijack

I've got a HKS type R on my car, it's only 1 in 1 out. I'm not sure how it compares to anything else cause it came on the car.

[BoostdR]

I have an ARC M073 twin inlet. Used it with 2560R-5's. Upgraded from trust and the differance was staggering.

Have tested ARC/HKS/Trust/Apexi. (flow,cooling and pressure drop)

-ARC were the best hands down in every possible way, even give more flow to the radiator.

-Trust were good in the 150mm wide version (no pressue drop, reasonable cooling)

-Apexi Cool well due to having a longer 710mm core, but had some pressure drop(3psi)

-and HKS recorded pressure drop and suffered from heat soak after a few runs.

Still all better than chinese bar and plate.

For the power you are after I would use the ARC. Which supports up to 400rwkw and will give more throttle response/midrange improvement over the trust.

For over 400rwkw....up to 500rwkw the ARC M105+M109

Over 500rwkw

Trust 150mm single or twin inlet

The bell mouthed inlet on the ARC cores make prettty much all other coolers redundant
