both those coolers are built for alot higher hp than that, i doubt you would see any difference between them.

are you buying a full kit or getting custom piping made up? i'd use whichever one fits easiest/has inlet/outlet in the best spot

lol you've been told rubbish mate. Plenty of people running 20+ psi stock piping.

in all honesty, you don't need to change the core. stock is more than adequate.

save your money

the stock core has been demaged， that’s why have to change。。

Gt2860-5R BOOST 1.3BAR（18.2psi） will make the stock piping come loose or crack， is that ture？

Best local intercoolers for my 2c

In fact the guys there make things to match the application. Not 'bolt on boy' style. Their products are second to none.

I had one made for my old gtr, similar size to stock. However it out performed it both in power and response.

Have a look at your hoses, if they look old they can crack or come loose, if they look new they should be OK.

I replaced mine with full HKS SPL kit mainly for looks though, my hoses were fine

Who told you they will crack or come loose at 1.3 Bar?

it will not come loose if the clamps are done up tight enough

Is that 2 in and 2 out pipings in the HKS SPL kit?

As i know the NISMO piping kit are exectly the same as stock piping.

How is the fittment of HKS piping kit?

They told me it's easy to happen not must be

I agree, don't worry about replacing your pipe work. I run 1.3 bar (not all the time though) and over the last 3 years I have blowen a pipe off probably 3 times. Just put a screw driver in your car to put it back on. If it is a problem it is easy to replace later anyway. As for intercoolers, mine is 600 x 300 x 90 I can't say that I have realy noticed much lag from going bigger. I can't say I really saw any real gains from it either, but I did it for looks. I would go with what VB said, get the one that fits the easiest.

Blowing a pipe of is not really a problem because your car will run rich if you do, which means your not going to damage anything. Save your money it's probably not going to be a problem anyway.

I have an ARC M073 twin inlet. Used it with 2560R-5's. Upgraded from trust and the differance was staggering.

Have tested ARC/HKS/Trust/Apexi. (flow,cooling and pressure drop)

-ARC were the best hands down in every possible way, even give more flow to the radiator.

-Trust were good in the 150mm wide version (no pressue drop, reasonable cooling)

-Apexi Cool well due to having a longer 710mm core, but had some pressure drop(3psi)

-and HKS recorded pressure drop and suffered from heat soak after a few runs.

Still all better than chinese bar and plate.

For the power you are after I would use the ARC. Which supports up to 400rwkw and will give more throttle response/midrange improvement over the trust.

For over 400rwkw....up to 500rwkw the ARC M105+M109

Over 500rwkw

Trust 150mm single or twin inlet

The bell mouthed inlet on the ARC cores make prettty much all other coolers redundant

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
