I should be getting the 31 at least tomorrow night.. but its going to need a few things done before its on the road. The diff replace is going to cost a bit more than i thought, so 'project get skyline same colour' may have to be on hold for a few weeks.

evenin' all,

Question about the hybrid intercoolers....why does everyone shitcan them???

I have been looking around for some bad reviews, but can't seem to find much info at all. What's the go...are they leaky? poorly made or what?

Or is it the fact that they are manufactured in China?

Anyone got a definitive answer or is it all just heresay?

Hi Warrick

yeah I would like to know too.

When I was discussing with Gavin Woods the future mods for my car in regards to the power I want to acheive, he said not to touch the Hybrid as it didn't flow well enough for high powered cars.

He said it was good for up to 200KW but after that it just doesn't cut it.

So consequently I am madly saving for a new Trust intercooler

Hmmmm....Ok, well from what I have read on this forum, Gavin knows his shit.

So these "Hybrid spec" intercoolers (apparently made in the same factory), such as the ones mindflux is trying to do a group buy on are essentially the same thing I presume, and in that case to be steered clear of.

the hybrid coolers are fine .. ive got one on the way, however if you wanna run high kilowatts, then you best go for something more expensive. i dont plan to hit 200kw so i feel one of these coolers would be perfect for me.

other peopple bag them because there cheap they assume 'if their cheap its shit; .. other people jump on the band wagon 'oh wasnt made in japan must be shit'

yamutha - im not 'trying' to do a group buy .. i have already got mine ordered, infact ive had it eveb before the group by .. i was just letting people know about these intercoolers as i know there is alot of people after these intercoolers.

baah ill explain after i get away from the TV

200kw is all the hybrid can cope with ? even the stockie can do better than that most of the time.

for up to 300rwkw or so even the GTR cooler is all you need.. "all over again".. GTR cooler, custom stainless steel piping.

Generally the Trust I think is "the" best regarded cooler in japan.. the others come somewhere after that.. HKS isn't bad either, although i'm biased :rofl:

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
