as said above it isnt a real trust intercooler.

Also u cannot bolt this up, u need to get intercooler piping made for it, u need to make mounts for the intecooler, u mostlikely need to cut up the front bumper.

So add another 600 for the install and thats what it will cost u.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys know it is not a genuine Trust cooler?

I RECOMMEND ASKING THE SELLER FOR THE TRUST PART NUMBER - HE SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM GIVING YOU THIS. YOU CAN THEN CROSS REFERENCE PART NUMBER TO SEE FIRSTLY IF IT IS GENUINE AND SECONDLY IF IT IS SUITABLE FOR YOU- THIS IS THE SAFEST WAY. IT'S TOO LATE AFTER YOU'VE BOUGHT IT, DOESN'T MATTER HOW CHEAP, IF YOU CAN'T USE IT, IT'S EXPENSIVE.

THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR INTERCOOLERS, ADD STATES THIS ONE FOR DRAG OR DRIFT !

CHEERS

JADE

that ad just screams dodgy

look in the for sale section. R32-GTS is selling a hybrid copy, or what ever u want to call them.. 600x300x100 core now for $550!

Once i get more cash together i'll more than likely purchase one similar as i know i can get them for $600 any time i want.

i hate ebay for the fact there are ppl like this who scheme and make up hopeless ads.

How a proper GReddy intercooler should look like (although like Driver said - GRex/GReddy/Trust are all the same company):

How a Hybrid intercooler looks like:

Then look at the Ebay ad.

I saw that ad earlier this week..got excited..then suspicious..

Look at the end tanks, and the holes on the top.

It looks to me as if it's a Hybrid copy, with 'Trust' stamped on it.

meh.. i bought a brand new hybrid copy cooler for $400.. looks really good quality for the price. I can't really see the difference of quality between it and my old HKS cooler worth about $800 to be honest. Time will tell i guess.

Always be suspicious of ebay and "brand" items. If you want cheap stuff, and not too fussed, then go ebay.. otherwise stay clear.

THE SHEER SIZE ...WILL ASTONISH YOU

:( .. thats what i say to all the girls too..doesn't usually work :)

hahah yeah... spoze the girls are expecting something a bit bigger when you unleash the beast :Oops:

:D :headspin: :(

thanks for the help ppl guess i wont buy it then and just get the one myfriends..brother $1k installed

its one of those universal coolers.....its imported from taiwan.....

are these any good ?

its size is 800x300x76.....also does size matter when u get a cooler like the bigger the better ? or will a 600x300x76 cooler do the same job ?

its been fitted on a r32 and so far no problems

Do a search. A lot of people have used the Hybrids with no problems, same with the Trust.

In the end it comes down to personal choice. Someone might swear by Japanese parts, others will say parts from other localities are just as good if not better.

If you're looking to save some money, then a Hybrid might be the way to go.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
