Intercoolers

[Sammie]

hi i was wandering if u guys could reccomend a place to fit a front mount im thinking of purchasing one from justjap the 499 ones but i wanna know where abouts i can get it fitted and how much and if anyone has any rough ideas on how much it will cost to fit on a s1 r33 gtst and to cut the front bar to suit

thanks

ive actually got an arc 450x280x~65 fmic, its got the entry, and exit pipes both facing where the stock R33 intercooler piping comes from, so you only need to extend the pipes a bit, and no need to cut through the firewall.

im looking for $150 for it, if you are interested,or want pics, let me know.

alrite cheers mate but does anyone know a rough price of fitting a fmic ?

[Kaido_RR]

most workshop can do it,

but saying that if i was to buy a cooler again i would go jap (trust/hks or apexi) as i find custom piping to be a joke compare to jap piping kit

my mate has a trust kit the piping looks better and fits 100% with no problems hitting the bonnet or hitting the fan

[Sammie]

alrite cheers have u got any idea of ho much it would cost i wanna try and get some figures

Yeh same mikey - if I had to do it again I'd go jap for sure.. 100% fittage first time everytime...

Hi Sammie...Mine is getting fitted and was quoted $250 to fit if you have a low mount manifold. Mine will be high mount so costs extra to make up new piping to the TB.

[Sammie]

hm im sorry but what do u mean by low mount manifold and high mount i would like mine i nthe normal place lol where most ppl have it and 250 bux sounds a bit cheap ?

So you have a low mount (I meant the turbo placement). The $250 is for fitting a complete kit. If you need piping and stuff done that would be extra. If you have the full kit including the piping then it should be around $250

ahh turbo placement now i got ya yea im still running the stock turbo so i guess thats low mount i was told it would be around 1200 for a full intercooler kit fitted

You can do it yourself if you got some time up your sleeve. As long as you get your self a good 3" metal hole saw, those kits are pretty easy to install, you just need patience and small hands to get into the finnicky bits. Took me about a day to do, but i was using wrong tools and didnt know what I was doing

And yes.. std turbo = low mount

Yeah thats about right...for fmic, piping and fitting. You can get genuine Hybrid full kits for about $850. So if you install yourself like damono suggests you will save yourself a few hundred bucks

Unique Auto Sports have a full kit for $700...dont know how good that one is, or Mod Your Car have genuine hybrid kits for $800 plus whatever the shipping cost is...then you could try and do it yourself. I would have tried doing some of the work on mine myself, but at the moment I am about 20,000 miles away makes it a bit hard

dont buy a cheap china made kit, they simply dont fit most of the time.

custom stainless steel piping will look better than any kit IMO.
