speak to Tarek from RACESPEC

hes a sponsor from this site and does a decent cheap cooler

the pic shows the cooler he sells (taken a few years back) and attaches with 2 bolts that screw into 2 threads at the top of the cooler

just jap = crap, honestly

go a saber/hybrid kit, there on the cheap side and rather good for performance gains

Here we go, another sackrider

Your calling the intercoolers from Just Jap crap and recommending Saber or Hybrid instead? Now THAT is funny

They are the same intercoolers and have been proven time and time again to perform.

i may be wrong here...so dont flame me ....but i've read in some other forum that the stock r34 cooler will flow enough to make 200rwkw...so if thats ur target...its a direct bolt on and u can get one for around $220max.

my mate has a MONSTA (i know i know) intercooler on his 33, i have a hybrid (woweeee!!!!) anyways, his looks fancier with the whole delta fin thing...and i see no difference in them what so ever! i installed both kits, pretty much exactly the same, just made in CHINA! that's why their cheap. maybe the piping is a little thinner in the walls but for what its worth, i shoulda pocketed my 400 bux and spent that elsewhere. Simular cars, same boost, close to same km, same with most things and they are neck and neck....food for thought. just buy one champ.

i dunno if he is known on SAU like on ns.com, but GKTECH is a great supplier of cheap chinese copy FMIC's, they are pretty much the same as Just Jap, same price/quality etc, just depends who u want to go through.

Just for the record Hybrid/Saber are manufactured in CHINA!!

The difference between the Hybrid/just jap/gktech intercooler kits is minimal!!

Hybrid/Saber spend tens of thousands of dollars on marketing each year... The others, do not!!

*you get what you pay for*... That is from the olden days!!

Best to get with the times ASAP and save your self some cash.

The facts prove you wrong.

Here is an SAU member using a Cooling-Pro Intercooler Kit from Just Jap and producing 428HP at the wheels on 18psi without any problems.

I make 200kw's at all 4's in my GTi-R everyday... and my R32 4 door made 235rwkw's on .9 bar :kiss: (didn't tune past that but the intercooler certainly wasn't a restriction)

personally I would save the money until you can buy a nice cooler like ARC or similar. that's just my opinion though. I have never been impressed with the cheap chinese cores, but that is not to say they don't work. it's just my opinion on their quality, design, and manufacture.

the japanese cores are far, far superior, but sadly cost triple the price. :kiss:

i have a GKtech cooler and its fine

the kit cost me 400 bucks.

Say does anyone know where to get a cheap intercooler that uses the factory intercooler piping locations? Like Blitz LM R34 cooler for instance? It seems too much of a head stuff on the 34's having to chop the neo cover etc with these front mounts.

All of the cheap coolers that are made in china are usually all the same, they are fine for decent power (i had one in my old car, and my brother uses one in his 306fwkw civic and they work great), the only thing i dont like about them is the cheap as piping kits that usual come with them, if you want to do a fmic on the cheap and enjoy hacking up your car then you have made a good choice as they are a very inexpensive mod.

just jap sell a fmic with the inlet and outlet on the same side. u just have to make ur own piping to mate with the stock pipes. i was considering this option myself. from memory it's around $200, no piping incl.

    • 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?
