bleh, sif it makes a difference, i have a friend who's father has a 700odd hp twin turbo v8 supra using a just jap intercooler, runs fine no worries.

Its all marketing hype, admitadely, $2000+ inter cooler kits fit better and thats about it.

cheers

I've got one, but haven't installed yet... don't know if i will either. The only time I give my car stik is at night and the air is cool enough already.

The highest knock level I have had at night has been 17 which is nothing. However if you're stupid and crusify your car during a hot day it would benefit your cause a little.

If your car is completly stock the intercooler will make it slower due to the extra meter of piping and the huge volume of the intercooler that has to be filled with boost.

A FMIC will make your car look faster, besides that at this level of performance any el-cheapo or brand name cooler will cool effectively enough for your needs. So yes, they work good.

Which cooler is it? bar and plate or tube and fin? Either way though i've seen these coolers support in excess of 260rwkw so they can't be bad...alot of brand snobs would say otherwise but results speak for themselves...and its usually the piping that lets you down...cheers...

I bought a hybrid copy kit that came with a delta fin core, its basically a APEXI intercooler copy.

The isntall was not exactly a easy botl on but its all together is fairly good. I f could do it agian i would have saved the money and bought the blitz style that uses the stock IC pipes off the turbo and in the intake. I personally dont liek the ider of the hybirs kit with a pipe running across inbetween my radiator and engine then having to cut my fan blades not to mention make a 3inch hoel in the side of the car for the pipe.

Other wise for the money great kit. I have the Bar and plate before and apparently the Delta fin is supposed to be better and cost more. Ohnestly for a street car under 150 rWK i doubt id notice the difference?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
