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.

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 :(

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.

    • 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.
