Hey peoples,

After the extremely good response to my thread about my decision to make and sell good coolers cheap, i was interested to see so many of you would like a full cooler kit instead of just the cooler (seems logical ey :P ) So i have thought about things a bit more thoroughly and have found that for me to make the cooler i was saying and a piping kit will raise costs a little more than i want. So i have looked around and i know most of you would have heard of them but Hyrbid make a bar and plate cooler with cast tanks and is very efficient and very good overall. Quality build and good performance. It has a 0.2 psi pressure drop across the core at 15psi which is a very good cooler, bar and plate which is an advantage in itself, and can be mounted to any car. I was wondering if you gusy would still be keen if i got hold of these coolers in bulk and then created an alloy piping kit for them ready to bolt onto the car for around say the $1200 mark if you would still be keen? I am definately more keen about this as it allows me to give you gusy the whole package rather than just a cooler and then worry about the organisation of the rest of the stuff, at least this way you can just bolt it on yaself cos it isn't a complicated task to do. The cooler i am talking about can be seen on my avatar on the 500hp GTR... i guess this explains these coolers mean business if it is running on a 500HP GTR with the stuff that guy has on it, big turbos, comp, boost etc. and with excellent results.

I am very eager to jump to it this way if you are there to back me, and as i stated in the first thread, i am a perfectionist and don't compromise on quality or performance, and have done my research into these coolers. So i believe it is equally as good to anything i was going to have built and also is bar and plate. Think about it and post me your thoughts cos if people are keen i am going to start straight away. With making an R33 piping kit from my car and a 180sx/silvia piping kit from my mates car.

Thnx for your time everyone, J.

If possible asap... i just have to get hold of the coolers which just contacting the distributor to organise a deal of a certain number of them, then i have to get one fitted to my car to make a blank of the piping then remove it again and get the piping copied in alloy as one piece, with no welded joins, and then get hold of clamps and silicon joins then its ready to go. I want them ready to go in the next fortnight at the lastest. I'll psot definate details this week.

Hey guys,

Just about definate at the moment to go ahead with the kits. Hopefully should order the coolers by the end of the week and start working on the piping kit asap, so should have kits for R33's in about 2 weeks ready to be shipped. Price as i said is looking at around the $1200 mark, with teh bar and plate Hybrid core, alloy one piece piping (not a cut and weld job) piping, all silicon joins and clampst ready to fit. I'll push to have them as soon as i can.

    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
