I should be getting the 31 at least tomorrow night.. but its going to need a few things done before its on the road. The diff replace is going to cost a bit more than i thought, so 'project get skyline same colour' may have to be on hold for a few weeks.

I got some spray cans at work from when I painted my dash, how about we paint the 33 sapphire blue?

evenin' all,

Question about the hybrid intercoolers....why does everyone shitcan them???

I have been looking around for some bad reviews, but can't seem to find much info at all. What's the go...are they leaky? poorly made or what?

Or is it the fact that they are manufactured in China?

Anyone got a definitive answer or is it all just heresay?

I've got a wire wheel for my grinder....

We should be able to get the bodywork *extra* smooth with that...

Erin?????

I seem to remember you shitcanning the hybrids.....why so?

Hi Warrick

yeah I would like to know too.

When I was discussing with Gavin Woods the future mods for my car in regards to the power I want to acheive, he said not to touch the Hybrid as it didn't flow well enough for high powered cars.

He said it was good for up to 200KW but after that it just doesn't cut it.

So consequently I am madly saving for a new Trust intercooler

[Nexus9]

He didn't get into more specifics than that

and I was too busy asking other questions to bother getting him to clarify further

[Lazy-Bastard]

Hmmmm....Ok, well from what I have read on this forum, Gavin knows his shit.

So these "Hybrid spec" intercoolers (apparently made in the same factory), such as the ones mindflux is trying to do a group buy on are essentially the same thing I presume, and in that case to be steered clear of.

[mindflux]

the hybrid coolers are fine .. ive got one on the way, however if you wanna run high kilowatts, then you best go for something more expensive. i dont plan to hit 200kw so i feel one of these coolers would be perfect for me.

other peopple bag them because there cheap they assume 'if their cheap its shit; .. other people jump on the band wagon 'oh wasnt made in japan must be shit'

[Nexus9]

and in that case to be steered clear of.

I don't know if I would say that... they are good up to a point

depends how much power your chasing I guess

[Lazy-Bastard]

Is it the Trust V SPL you are looking at?

[strutto]

How much power is everyone chasing???

[Lazy-Bastard]

nengun seem to be doing them for a reasonable price

[Nexus9]

Yep I agree with Flux on this

if you want something to do the job they aren't a bad buy.... as I said come down to how much power your chasing

[mindflux]

yamutha - im not 'trying' to do a group buy .. i have already got mine ordered, infact ive had it eveb before the group by .. i was just letting people know about these intercoolers as i know there is alot of people after these intercoolers.

baah ill explain after i get away from the TV

I'd probably be happy with 200rwkw......for a week or two

Is it the Trust V SPL you are looking at?

Disco :boobies2:

[Lazy-Bastard]

no offence intended mindflux.....

[predator]

200kw is all the hybrid can cope with ? even the stockie can do better than that most of the time.

for up to 300rwkw or so even the GTR cooler is all you need.. "all over again".. GTR cooler, custom stainless steel piping.

Generally the Trust I think is "the" best regarded cooler in japan.. the others come somewhere after that.. HKS isn't bad either, although i'm biased

Disco :boobies2:

I'll take that as a yes....lol
