Hi Adrian, VERY interested and I am in Perth and can get cash ready when you need it.

So whats everyones opinions - is the HKS or the Trust the pick?

I think the V-spec trust is supposed to have a more efficient turbulator design in the core to assist heat transfer, but I have heard from a number of tuners the HKS units flow the best...

I guess based on a stock or hi-flowed turbo the better cooling is probably more relevant that maximum flow support?

If they are quoting you 2k for a hybrid install they are making lots of cream on that pie. But hey, we are supposed to support them. You can get a hybred intercooler for around 800 and pay someone around 600 to install it. I believe the hybrid is as good a core as the hks or trust units, however i wouldnt say they are better. If you can get a trust kit for 1300 id say that would be the way to go.

By the way i saw a hybrid install done by a company we are not allowed to mention on here because how much they suck, at lets just say this install include a very very very very tight 180 degree bend, and 3 bars of the cooler blocked by the return pipe, i almost choked on my donar kebab.

This is also a reason the kit would be better, the tanks are designed for rb passover pipe, im yet to see a hybrid installed well on a rb engine with standard crossover pipe.

Man that intercooler install was crap, but everyone thinks this place is good cause they have a 9 second rotor, oh wow!

macka, already knew that :) just forgot

I DON'T GET OFF WHERE IN MY POSTS I SAID I WASN'T SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES?

So lets keep this short and sharp, if you're interested post in here, if you ain't dont! i know that hybrid coolers are absolutely awesome coolers as i have researched up on them quite a bit but if theres a chance you can get a japanese brand for around the same price what would you go for? and i have taken the customs thingo into account so those still interested can ya pm me :)

adrian :D

We will shortly be able to offer our own Coolers - identical to Hybrid - installed with polished stainless piping and silicon connections for around 1800 bucks installed. More than a backdoor jap import for sure, but you get that. Bear in mind that the Hybrid kit with mild steel piping sells for 1580 plus freight plus fitting.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
