This is straight from the Garrett website:

The Garrett Performance Intercoolers (also know as Charge Air Coolers) work together with the turbocharger as a part of the total induction system. When air is compressed in the turbocharger it gains a great deal of heat. The heated air has lower oxygen density and therefore is not able to produce as much energy when fed into the cylinders. The job of the intercooler is to remove heat added by compression in the turbocharger and in turn promote more thorough combustion yielding more power, less emissions, and greatly reducing detonation.

Garrett intercoolers are Bar and Plate and made in Mexico, a large majority of other intercoolers including brand names are made in china, to give you an answer on what would be more effective depends on what your after, for the most effecient cooling you would go for a 3in (75mm) thick for most effecient power 4 1/2in (115mm). The Garrett cores we have in stock have about 20 fins per inch where as others have approx 8 fins per inch.

We can fit most intercoolers for approx $1650 the size 24in (610mm)Length

x 12in (300mm)Height x 4 1/2 (115mm) Wide but I recommend you give us a call or come and see us for a proper quote.

I hope this helps

Garrett make tube and fin also. 20 fpi? Most Garrett cores are either 16fpi or 14 fpi. Never seen one 20 fpi.

I don't think it is correct to say that a large majority of other intercoolers are made in China. By brand names, do you mean HKS, Trust, ARC?

Even HPI cores don't come from China.

Garrett also make a more denser core of 30 fpi, and yes our sources are reliable, we are the sole distributor a company called Precision Turbo and Engine in the USA, the owner of this company sits on the board of Garrett.

Most heat exchanger manufacturers will make almost any FPI you want (within reason) if you ask for it. I've never seen a Garrett with more than 16 FPI. I reckon even that would be a little restrictive in the long cores people use on the Skylines.

Would be good for a top/bottom flow cooler though!

Im very familiar with Precision. Nice turbos.

I have the RSPL unit and I find it works well with my td06-20g turbo, I bought it back in the time before I found other people selling them (like nengun) and ended up paying around $2500 fitted. Compared to what I could have got it for from nengun a premium price, I am happy with it though plus I didnt have to worry about it getting here all damaged.

  • 6 months later...

hmm. I thought R-SPL is the side mount IC that fit in the factory spot in the R34, n the V-SPL is the FMIC.

IS there any significant gain/benefit for replacing the factory r34 side mount cooler to the Trust R-SPL side mount? (with factory turbo)

the trust cooler you are referring to is an R-spl core which is 119mm thick (ie triple) vs 80mm core on the R34.  

front mounts come in V-spl and R-spl cores.

I see. so the R-spl come in side mount as well as front mount. so what's the power rating(dunno the proper term, first time turbo car owner) for the side mount R-spl n the stock r34 gtt side mount IC?

just want to know if it's worth the upgrade

We bought an Apexi GT cooler from nengun (www.nengun.com) and are very happy with it.

It looks much better (imho) than the normal coolers, and a much stronger design (by stronger, I mean I cannot physically bend the fins)

Bar and plate, 610 x 276 x 88. $1600 at our door.

Because its a "brand name" kit, everything just fits with very minimul dicking around and has supports on supports on supports. Pipwork bolts on in about 3 places just between cooler and plenum. Also doesnt need the fan blade cut like most hybrid kits.

We were more than happy to pay the extra for a brand name kit that we knew would bolt straight on, give great performance and look tops.

my Blitz front mount is awesome. I love how the only thing I had to cut was the front bar. The Jap kits IMO are better as they're easier to install. Plus there's the reliability. I've yet to hear anyone complain about a Jap kit...search the Hybrids - it's a mix of complaints and praise.

I've ordered a HKS Type S Kit from http://www.greenline.jp

$1300 delivered, or there abouts.

Also check out http://www.nengun.siteblast.com

:werd: mine was 1320 delivered and taxed. get a jap one, they are a perfect fit and top consistent quality.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
