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?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
