I need some feedback on aftermarket FMIC kits for M35. To be honest I do not know much about M35's.

I have searched a bit and found some info.

2 kits available, the Biltz kit $999 or the HPI kit $770.

Plan was to get a kit made, which kit is the better one or are they basically the same?

Mainly piping design and fitment is the main thing. Coolers are pretty much the same as any other one around.

I currently have an order for 10 kits to suit R33/R34/C34's coming in 6-7 weeks and some great pricing

I am waiting back on pricing for the M35 kit to be made, but hopefully they should sell for close to half of the above kit prices.

Am I wasting my time or is there enough demand for a cheaper alternative??

Whilst the Blitz and the HDI may look similar, most of the M35 drivers have gone with the HDI for 2 reasons, 1) good price 2) the pressure drop form the NEW HDI core is about 0.2psi.

So in that sense it is a Fantastic buy.

I am sure if you can save everyone some money you will get some orders but the new HDI core is a very good one.

I'm a tight arse from waaaay back, would like to see what you can come up with, more choice is always a good thing.thumbsup.gif

Mind you the dimensions of the HDI core are a VERY neat fit in the nose of the M35.

Good luck.

They make over 50 differnt sizes and types. Bar and plate, tube and fine, delta fin etc.

Should be able to find the right one

Haven't most/all intercooler suppliers been claiming a pressure drop of 0.2psi for years accross a std 600x300x76mm core?

Very few people reach the max capabilty of this size core

No, I believe the claim by most other companies is about 2-3 psi drop at 20psi.

i wouldnt say all intercoolers are the same. its not really a huge deal on a street only car, but you'll find a good quality cooler will have a greater temperature drop across the cooler. i wouldnt stress about pressure drop to much, again for a street only car its not an issue. IMHO if there isnt a pressure drop of some amount, then the cooler doesnt "cool" well enough.

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
