intercooler price

[R33Gts-t]

what do u think would be a resenaouble price to pay for an intercoolr mounted and all in a r 33?

[stawka]

Including the actual Cooler and pipes? Clamps and Hoses? There are kits going around for around the 7-800 dollar mark. GOOD kits, complete with everything you need. I'm after one for an R32 myself so that's around the same price

[paulr33]

i had one fitted to my r33. brand new. here is what the costs were

$350 core

$400 ish for pipes and bends and the coupler orange/blue silicon joiner things

$510 labour to fit and weld up pipes and cut front bar. cut hole below wiper tank, bolt on cooler, wled up pipes (stainless steel) and connect all the pipes.

$1260 drive in, drive away fitted. the core is 500x300x75 or thereabouts

fitted at chasers in melbourne

Not trying to get this thread too sidetracked, but does anyone know what the HKS/Greddy etc intercoolers are like? (Like the Type-S HKS for example)

[Binky1970]

I have a Blitz LM kit which I paid $1600 for and fitted myself. Not really that hard to fit an intercooler kit provided you have a little technical skill and can read the instructions.

[MacGuyver]

I've got a Greddy type B / R-SPL HG that I think is pretty awesome. Was quoted about 200 simoleans to get it fitted by a workshop but did it myself. No dramas!

you would be crazy to pay more than about $800

just because it has a brand name or comes in a kit doesn't necessarily make it any better than if you buy a hybrid and get soem pipes made

myself? i bought the cooler for $400, pipes and fitting was $260... totl = $660

yes, there are some bad cheap intercoolers going around (eg ex-truck coolers) but there are also some decent ones (eg hybrid)

some people have more "dollars than sense" and will pay an extra $500-1000 just for a brand

where did you get pipes and fittings for $260 man thats cheap

[usuckpoo]

Its not just the brand

Its the quality of the fittings the pipes and the finish

Sure u could hack one together urself but im sure it will be no where close to the quality of a proper kit such as one from trust...in terms of finish, fittings, mounts, clamps, hoses etc

If u had to piece one together urself that can match the quality, it will either cost just as much money, or alot more effort on your part.

[Binky1970]

The Blitz kit that I was extremely high quality, so good in fact that I was able to fit it myself and there was no cutting, drilling, cable tieing or duct taping required. It basically fell into place. It also only took me about 5 hours to fit once I worked out the instructions.

[fresh]

i got an AVO one fitted for $1300 ish no cutting, no welding, nothing mounts on perfectly and pipes return up the same side etc..... easiest thing ever, dunno what will happen with bigger turbo etc.....

shopping around will find you a good price

i went to Blinky's brake and exhaust in dandenong

but i think they may have closed down as i tried calling them over christmas and couldn't get through

[97Sky]

I heard the Hybrid and there copies were not that good a quality and some of them tend to whistle when driving.....any truth to that or is it just talk? Also the pressure drop on a Hybrid was alot greater than the jap brands? I guess you get what you pay for huh!

A few peeps i know have Hybrids and Hybrid copies and a couple of them whistle. It depends on how much core area is exposed to direct air intake and for a FMIC to work properlly the more are the better. You can't really hear it over the engine/exhaust noise and then with the stereo on its not even there. But you can hear it if it whistles during everyday normal driving.

I was having a look on www.driftbits.com.au and they have spme pretty good kit prices on there at the momnet. I think it was $680 for the R32, R33 kit for memory

[nsm034]

got the blitz lm kit for my 34. fitted very nicely and is made nicely. all lined up but had to cut a lot out of the bumper for it to fit and look profesional cost me $1200 on special full kit.
