Someone mentioned to me the other day that Trust have a Spec M intercooler kit available (I was only aware of SPL and Spec V...)

Anyway, did some lookig and they are a dual layer 600x260x76 core with aluminium piping, delivered by Nengun for about $750.

Anyway, my question is this...

Do these kits have the same piping as the others, ie cut a hole???

Has anyone got one of these installed and has pictures/thoughts/feedback on its quality and performance, given that this is almost a slightly better alternative price wise to Hybrid kits...

Your thoughts please people!!! :sorcerer:

I have never ever seen a kit that requires that a hole be cut in the subframe. Some require a hole be cut in the thin, vertical, trim piece that hangs down under the box section, same as a GTR of the same model. Others (infrequently) go though the thin panel next to the battery, washer bottle or radiator overflow tank.

:teehee: cheers :P

Sorry Gary I meant these still have to have a whole cut...its been a long week....

Ok back to the drawing board as I would prefer the Blitz with no cutting required...a whole saw is for a commodore not a skyline...

GTR's have holes, doesn't make them Commondoors.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
