interesting read in the latest HPI mag, they had a "china" cooler kit fitted to a RB26 GTR and it made over 400rwkws off memory with just a 1% drop in efficiency. pretty good vale for a copy cooler....

Sorry but first up the comment on a front mount won't make more power unless you put more boost into it is incorrect.

I've seen for myself many intercooler ONLY upgrades done and seen 26kw at the wheels from just a front mount on a S15 and 18.5 from a forester and many others, all the way up to 46kw at the wheels from a 185 celica GT4. If your not sure if it would make power just from an intercooler just ring C&V perfoemance and ask them if i just do and intercooler will it make more power.

As for intercooler kits there are many Australian made kits you can buy also which are better quality than the chinese ones, such as hyperflow,GCG,Performance OZ(ebay company) and many others.

No mention of a Skyline having an increase of power from what you've seen.

Stock spec Skylines are reasonably good, especially R34-t sidemounts.

I would expect no increase, or at the most very little when running factory settings and changing an intercooler ONLY on a Nissan Skyline.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
