G Day,

Would people mind sharing there opinion on the below 4 intercoolers I have narrowed down to install on my 34 GTT with 12psi, full turbo back zorst, cold air intake, plugs etc. Looking to chase 280-300ish rwkw in future.

1. Blitz return flow cooler - best one but expensive at $699 from just jap.

2. Cooling Pro return flow - Priced at $499, gold color is crap, is this a cheap china core with crap functionality above 250rwkw?

3. Cooling Pro non-return flow - same issues as above, - cheap china? plus have to trim fan, make hole in chasis for pipe on drivers side etc - cheapest of the lot at $399 from Just Jap

4. HDI - good value mid range cooler at $545 plus 50 postage (postage from where, I'm in Syd??), but its a non return flow - lag etc and have to trim fan, make hole in chasis etc..

So those are my views, what would people recommend / experiences etc??

thanks RON

all of those are suitable and a on mild GTT they are fine

you will incur some extra throttle lag no matter what core you fit - its physics

go the blitz one given its price as it saves cutting the chassis to fit extra pipes

Get the Blitz. Its not much more money anyway. I have an ARC turnflow on my R34 and Im glad i spent the extra money. Just the fact everything fit so nicely made it worth it. My friend brought some dodgy china kit for his and nothing lined up properly.

FYI the cooling pro return flow isnt a gold colour, the photo just makes it look that way, its silver/chrome like the others.

Justjap have the black option available on ebay;

Hey personally, i think go the Blitz Return flow cooler, with the cooling pro and HDI, its a hassle to cut the fan and make the hole n stuff... Speically while cutting the fan blades,ull have to cut it so much that it defers the purpose of that fan...

Save the extra buck and get the Blitz Return flow, easy to install and great performance...

if your not planning an rb26 or a front facing plenum deff go the blitz, will keep your engine bay very need, no need to chop the thermo fan and its a good price, i remember when you couldnt get a jap brand cooler kit for under 1k.

if your going front facing plenum later grab the hdi kit

Of course number 1 go blitz but the cooling pro return flow are proven to be good to they are not dodgy cheap chinese ones Ive gone 275kw with it and its not a probelm and alot of people have gone more its just abit more work when fitting doesnt line up aswell as blitz.

thanks for the amazing response guys, I guess everyone including myslef have no doubts that Blitz is the go here, just wanted to know if the cooling pro return flow is suited for 250 to max 300rwkw or does it start crapping itself.. Have read heaps on coolers with mixed response so still have a bit of attraction for the cooling pro return flow due to its price, but I guess u generally get what u pay for - though not always.. :P

1. Blitz return flow cooler - best one but expensive at $699 from just jap.

For those in the know, is there any mechanical difference between Blitz SE and CS?

Just Jap site says "CS Coating For Alloy Corrosion Resistance" but is that worth the extra cost ($699 vs. $749)?

Also, does anyone sell these kits locally in Melbourne to save the P&P?

Thanks

I went to check these out, the blitz one does have much bigger dia pipes, the one that runs back under the cooler, we placed the cooling pro and blitz pipes side by side and its like half an inch bigger at least and tapers down to the same diameter at the ends..does that make a diff to throttle response?

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
