jus a question... thinking bout getting an intercooler for my r32gts-t im running the turbo at 10psi and just wantet to know what kinda performance increase say a hybrid intercooler would give and than the difference a hks one would give?>?

not sure on sizes either what would you all recommend?>? thanx ay

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

bump anyone

[nemz]

prolly one of the best things u can do to get a power increase

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

true thanx man but will a hybrid one give me less of an increase compared to say a full expensive blitz...???

[nemz]

id rather get a custom made one then a brand name one but thats just me

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

true why is that?>? any preferred reasons?>? sorry if im pissin ya off but id like to know cause a guy offered one to me for 350 hybrid and i would rather spend that than 1500 or something

[nemz]

Hi ^DRIFTIN skyliner^, we use standard R32/33 GTR intercoolers up to 300 rwkw.

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

so ur saying if my car is lower than 300rwkw than its no need to get an intercooler?>?

I think any reputable intercooler, Hybrid/HKS/ARE/AVO std GTR etc, of approx dimensions 600 x 300 x 60mm (approx) is going to do as good a job as one another unless you are going to be running heavy mods.

And remember depending on the type of driving you do, rocks can damage an expensive intercooler so run gauze over the bar opening

And my thoughts are make sure its covered on your insurance policy, nothing worse then haveing paid $1500 for an intercooler only to have an accident and it not be covered, as they are so easily damaged.

[^DRIFTIN skyliner^]

yea they cover intercoolers but id rather not spend 1500 on one ay... do u know what kinda improvement figure wise it would give my r32 runnin 10psi with a hybrid of dimensions 600x300x60mm like would i notice it.??? and does it make it drive betta when its hot like it stops the turbo etc gettin so hot?>?

Listening to the improvements other have experienced i dont think im quite as sesnsitive to noticing hp improvements.

I did notice an improvement in top end performance, but nothing huge. Perhaps if i had the ECU re-written to suit the exhasut/filter/IC/boost then as a package it would work a lot better.

Mine is a HKS Type S cooler, and i dont think you could really tell the difference between any reputable cooler as far as performance.

Most economical will most likely be GTR cooler with painted(perhaps ceramic coated) mild steel piping. Still going to cost around $800 even doing things yourself, so shop around for a complete kit, or look to places like AVO & ARE who do complete kits for around $1200 new
