as the topic suggests guys im not going to be going past 200kw so just a quick questions as to which would be better bang for ur buck the just jap intercoolers or the hybrid ones...will there be any difference between the 2 interms of power gain or responce etc ?

basically just wondering if i would get a more noticeable power gain out of either one

i'd stick to the big brands bro then atleast u no u have good quality and it has proven power gains like the blitz coolers...

yeh fair enough but hmm the other guy said there would be no power gain i thought coolers meant colder denser air so extra power ?????????? pls explainnnn lol

You wont get a power increase *generally* speaking unless you increase boost, ECU, exhaust etc etc aswell.

Just changing the I/C on a stock setup will yield no gain.

As i said, if your keeping the stock turbo, dont even bother with some branded Jap kit.

Absolutely overpriced for the application

yeah when I started I wa sonly aiming for 200rwkw...lol that didn't last long.

I use the GKtech kit for that reason and found it good for much more power...for the price and ur application I can't see you going wrong with that.

also as suggested, no point unless ur going to up the boost to what 10psi with the stockie...then its at its limit also...need a turbo upgrade...lol then the list goes on..

The Just Jap coolers have been in use for some time on cars pushing well over 300kw at the wheels without a problem.

Hybrid is nothing but a name, their intercoolers are essentially the same as the Just Jap bar and plate coolers.

Paying more for a Blitz intercooler for this application is a waste of money, especially when having such a conservative power target at 200kw.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
