Greddy are top quality. Secondhand coolers, regardless of original brand, can be any quality at all, from ratshit to great, depending on whether they have been in a crash (and so maybe leak) or have had a turbo explosion (and so are maybe full of bits of sharp metal), etc etc. As with anything secondhand, you pays your money and you takes your risks.

And "made in China" and shit quality do not necessarily go together. There are obviously plenty of examples of shit quality Chinese coolers, but I think you'll find that many of the big brads are manufactured there now anyway. The Just Jap kits are surely made in China. There's just no way you can make stuff for that cheap without doing so. And no-one is really complaining about the quality of that gear. And that gear is representative of most of the non-brand stuff out there.

I'm looking to buy an intercooler with piping and all, but not to sure which brands are good. I'm not looking for the best just something that isn't fron China and shithouse quality.

There are plenty of guys on this forum using ling long intercoolers and make over 300kWs :)

All Cooling Pro, HDi, Hybrid are all ling long, but are built ok enough to do the job. I reckon get a HDi one and be done with it, save the coin for a new ECU

That's true, but when I said China what I was meant to say was eBay China products.

Really? 300Kw? I don't want to risk it though. I'll never run that much power to be honest, well don't think I can afford to lol, but ye you get my point.

There are the guys around aus running 7second passes with china intercoolers. You have nothing to worry about. If you're into brand names then theres greddy blitz and hks. If you're into budget (like you've already stated) there's cooling pro hybrid hdi and ebay spec.

Hmmm....I'll consider it then. Just heard bad things about them, like piping doesn't fit properly and need some fabrication work. To be honest just want piece of mind.

Hey guys I'm also after a FMIC want something quality, i have been searching for a while i want something legal return flow in other words, i have been told that the Blitz SE return flow sits low and will scrap on speed humps... anyone have any experience with this? also can that particular intercooler handle 300rwkws?

You'll always hear more bad than good about alot of things. Parts these days are made pretty spot on (intercooler wise) I havnt heard of them fitting wrong or failing. At the end of the day it's just an intercooler. Its pretty hard to stuff that up. Its also pretty hard to blow one apart making the magical number.

Darkryda: 300kws on 16 to 20psi or 300kws on 25 to 30psi? It will hold a shitload of pressure. Power figures shouldn't be coming into play. I make 300kw with a 32gtr intercooler and these new ones are thicker and have way less bugs stuck in them

I've used 2x linglong spec intercooler piping kits off eBay, they fit no dramas.. just avoid those silly chromed ones.. they flake off.

Just looking to future proof my intercooler, as in buy once and not have to worry about changing it if I get to a certain power level =] anyone have any dramas with blitz one being to low? Just really after a decent legal intercooler anyone have any interesting setups? Most pics up give me some ideas.

LOL hijacked my thread bro :P

Wow alright. I don't think I'll be running that much power anytime soon. Thanks :)

My newest cooler cost me $50 brand new 600*300*76. Doing just fine at near 250rwkw on 18psi hoping to be over 250 in the next month. Cheapest part on the car! Came in a plain brown box too!

Wow! That's hell cheap! Did they include piping and all?

But aren't most of the ones on Ebay chromed anyway?

Blitz is not too low. The only time i have seen them too low is people buying second hand with no brackets, or using the wrong supplied bracket. As they come with 33 and 34 mounts.

This is a pretty low angle shot of mine. Cant see the hot pipe underneath. It tucks up inside the bumper nicely.

Try ignore the broken passengers indicator :) It came loose and i run it over. lol. had to make do temporarily.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
