Pwr Coolers

[gun-r32]

anyone using PWR coolers here? Appreciate any feedback on workmanship quality, performance etc. Thinking of getting one, seems very well priced

[sam5709]

my mate just got one for his 89 supra, he said its going good, and he says the workmenship on them isnt bad for the price they are selling them

Great coolers manufactured here in Oz.

Finished quality is great

My choice of cooler on a previous car i had from reviews heard from other owners who bought one

I have a PWR intercooler on my GTR (was already on it when I bought it) and the temps were always nice and stable even in 35c heat.

I deliver PWR radiators and oil coolers on a weekly basis to a radiator bloke in my area and the weld quality is great and they always look tops.

Sorry for bein lazy, but how much is a PWR intercooler for a GTR??

[SLIPPERY]

i bought my 600x300x90 a couple of years back and it was around $800

this price included the size i wanted fabricated, aswell as inlet/outlet location

[benm]

Dirty32: $945 according to the pricelist on the PWR website.

[gun-r32]

thats before gst i just found out too! so Pretty much $1040.

Ive just gone ahead and ordered one, got it at a good price through a mate, picking it up from the GC in 2 weeks! Woohoo

just thought id follow this thread up with some pics i took of the welds, core etc. on the PWR cooler before it was installed. Overall workmanship is very very good for the price.

Also pretty much a drop in replacement, bar a little trimming here of the front bar. Cheers to the boys down Hyperdrive way for the install too

yeah they're good stuff... i help a mate install one on his 300 with a couple of PWR bov's aswell and he couldnt be happier

[bankids]

r they really made in australia?

[gun-r32]

not sure dude

[bankids]

coz i know their supplier from overseas, i got my radiator from them and i'm pretty sure they supply fmic aswell

[PHATR32]

they are the ones they sell at supercheap?

[SLIPPERY]

PWR claim that all their fabrication is done at their factory

unless fabrication means fitting end tanks lol

[32R]

Thats what fabrication means to me

Gunr32 have you got any pics after its been installed?

Also what sort of improvements has it givin,lower temps?,increased flow?

Any measured performance increase on the the dyno or track?

Cheers

[gun-r32]

I haven’t actually seen it yet dude, it got installed while I was working away. I’ll be driving it as of Thursday though for a couple of weeks, so I’ll take some pics and give you the low down on performance.

you guys are paying 1k for intercoolers? wtf?... i dunno how you can justify that lol, they have these tiny 399$ ones in supercheap, mines 2x bigger, its a china cooler and cost 130$, welds look better on it as well.

you guys should already know theres no difference flow wise with intercooler weather they were made in china or made by a "well known" company.

and no, they are not made in aus.

yeah mate china ones are fine if you are making stuff all power, but for people who want good quality, awesome welds and a product that is actually tested and developed then they buy a name brand one. Ones like pwr, plasmaman, hks, trust etc all have better core designs which flow better and keep intake temps lower. Plus if he decieds to smash a big single on their, he know that he will not lose power through dodgey design.

but if you want to keep ur china go right ahead.
