I got a Hybrid Monster intercooler, and I'd have to say it is an excellent cooler. The polished piping kit looks the goods as well. Installed in 5hrs and the improvement is sensational.

I got it for an awesome price as well, if your intersted PM me and I'll pass your details onto the seller.

Hi, people

I sell Hybrid kits for the skyline R33 for $1050 which include free shipping anywhere in Australia and free boost gauge. I also sell the AVO kit for the r33 for $1,350.00. (shipping $45)

Please ask firebladejr as he has recently purchased the hybrid kit from myself

It seems these days with out money been pretty good compare to the japanese yen, the price of intercooler kits seems to drop a fair bit.

Like considering a few hundreds buck difference, I would go for a branded intercooler like the Trust one. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Hybrid intercoolers.

I notice none of the responses so far have mentioned the size of intercooler you should use.

What sort of power level are you looking for?

The selection of the right sized flow of intercooler will make the difference to how much value for money the upgrade offers.

The hybrid intercoolers seem quite good from all acounts and they have a few different sized cores availible (don't just assume bigger is better here).

That's a fair call rev210.

I was actually told that a too big of an intercooler will make the turbo work harder and not necessary make more power. Not sure if this is true or not.

I guess it depends on how much power you are aiming for and if you are to decide further down the track to change to a bigger turbo.

Where do you think the HKS and Trust ones are made?

Where do you think they are made? There is a HUGE difference in quality between the HKS and Trust intercoolers compared to the Chinese coolers that a lot of people are selling. I'll tell you one thing for sure, you would have a very hard time trying to sell those Chinese things in Japan. The Japanese customers know quality when they see it.

The Trust coolers are exceptionally good quality. I definately wouldn't buy the V-SPL kit though. It uses an extruded core like PWR or ADRAD. You are better off to get one of them, as at least you can get them in 73mm compared to 65mm for the Trust. The R-SPL however, is an awesome core. Very high cooling efficiency, but of course you have to pay for it.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
