I was using an R34 GTR cooler, but have since upgraded to a 100mm hybrid unit, we're now able to achieve the same power, 450rwhp, at less boost, and it doesn't heat soak like the GTR cooler did.

I see, that sounds good - i'm tossing up between that and a something like a HKS type-R cooler (WAY more expensive!!) for my GTR (twin GT2530's).

Do you know if they have those little internal fins?

hey guys im new to this from but im running a hybrid cooler, hybrid boost controller, oilcatch can, and k&n pod filter and ive got 217.0 RWKW got dyno sheet(13psi)

just from personal expireance hybrid is very good value for me money and sure is an exelent cooler.. im a reg customer of powerdigger and good friends with the boss, and they use all hybrid stuff like coolers, turbos ect..

if u need a kit for almost any jap car give them a call: 02 9829 7388 ( syd )

Yeah, I can vouch for Hybrid. They sponsor my car here in the states, a RB26 Silvia...

I have been extremely impressed with their FMIC's..

Run one on mine and have had great results...

I am using their 600x300x76 core..

In terms of results, I haven't dynoed the car yet. But, I have driven tons of turbo cars, and these turbo's never get hot with that FMIC..

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
