Front Mount Intercoolers

[Core666]

Where is the best place price wise to hook up a front mount? Greddy or Hybrid or does it even matter?

Would there be any difficulty in installing it in an 96 S2 R33 GTS-t? I need to take the horn out of that space and re-position already

I dont want to get dicked over on an install price either- Hence, dont anyone reply with 'take it to Car Toys' haha

Cheers!

take it to car toys hahaha.....joking

umm generally brand name coolers tend to work a bit better IMHO and as regards to fitting most of the coolers are quiet easy to DIY...there are a few threads about them in the DIY section i would think.....in my 33 i had to reposition the Horn but only had to flip it over from where it was mounted before...best places to look for coolers would be on the traders on SAU like Just Jap then the next best bet would be autobarn.....they tend to sometimes have those coolers for a nice price....specially the one at gillies plain or holden hill.....

Most import garages would be able to get a decent price on fitting if you would like it to be done by mechanics

Good luck mate

Thanks for the info mate. Its good to know you can just flip the horn over. I remember seeing a while back Greddy's advertised at autobahn for like $800 for the part. Will suss it out. Did you notice genuine improvement in horsepower and performance after installation?

[Krishy]

i picked mine up for $600 thats when the $ was good value lol.....I did notice that the car was running a lot better....horsepower wise i didnt feel a great deal if any....but its to cool air not to force air lol......in the summer you can definately feel it working and ohh it loves the winter chills.....so i reackon that is definately a good investement

Greddy is what i have as well and according to them its not a big pressure drop either and IMHO they work a lot better then those Hybrid types...$800 seems to be general price for coolers now days....

[Damo_R34]

If i was you, and either didnt have the confidence/time to be fitting it yourself, head to JustJap.com, grab a cooler from there, they do fit well enough, and spend maybe 2-300 on fitting. theres the price of 1 greddy cooler.

ill be getting a HDI Intercooler from Exhaust Technology....i think its like $850 and they can install it for you aswell and i dont think it is much more to do that

Is that the GT or RS core?

HDI GT kits go for 500-550ish where as the RS (100mm) goes for 700ish.

850 imo is a little pricey.

I had an RS HDI in my R and paid 1/2 that price for the cooler without the pipes......used my own pipes

after seeing a lot of shitty cooler kits and how badly they can fit, id recomend the greddy type m for vaule, fitment and quality.

isc can get you one at a decent enough price.

Thats exactly what i was trying to get to...my Greddy kit bolts straight up and no hassles...so if fitment and quality you want mate then go with a brand name cooler

[Cooper]

Definately get a brand name kit like others have said if you want to be able to fit it up perfectly yourself.

[JSTA33]

is there a cooler that will fit a r33 gtst without no hasstles? like no cuts or nothing?

my current cooler is greddy, but reo bar is cut.

ummmm, R34 Sidemount. All others will require cutting and drilling of some sort. The one i bought through a mate at work was supposed to be hassle free as it used the stock plumbing, was wrong. Sure it used the stock plumbing, but i had to but up my foglight housing to get the piping to fit from the cooler to the stock plumbing.
