They are. I can't comment on teh design but people should ask themself do you think they would risk there reputation over a cheaper alternative :P

And update on deleivary i called and i've been asured they will be ready for pick up on tuesday.

As i said i can't 100% say the design is different i havn't compared the tow, but just becuase they look the same doesnt' mean they are. For starters the piping is different and the joiners for the piping, so thats part of teh kit making it "different" not exactly the same. A company like Trust/Greddy arn't exactly going to walk in to a company making these cheapies and wack a badge on them. Yes they are not Japanese made hence to keep the costs down, but on that note they are made to Trust/Greddy specs (as they woudlnt' want to risk there name over a cheaper alternative) i wouldn't confidently say that a company like Trust/Greddy would nto have wacked there badge on some no name brand cooler and hopped for the best, they would of been designed with the intent to target a market dominated by cheaper no frills coolers. So with that in mind they would of looked at manifacturing them abroad (out of Japan) and thats why they are only rated up to 270-300kw. They are perfect for what the are, it all comes down to preference, save a few $100 on a no name brand, or pay the bit extra for a trusted brand. It's like that with everything.

Nav2k you might find more info at the website or even email them.

thats what i thought too..theyre designed by greddy but made overseas but the other guy said that wasn't the case..so i wanted confirmation on that.

i know the piping is exactly the same as the other models.

Hey guys, well the intercoolers are now it, those who were picking them up can collect them from today onwards, those who require postage once full payment is made then the coolers will be send and those who required postage and have already paid in full, your coolers will be sent tomorrow.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
