The HKS picture looks to be a kit for a 200SX, but it is the same intercooler i installed on my R32 recently.

I too looked at the AVO unit, but check it is the core that as 600x300x90, as i think this may include end tanks. The HKS kit fitted my car with no real dramas, although the pipes are powder coated/painted mild steel and look to have been formed using hydraulic tube bender, (no mandrel bends).

The HKS core itself has tubes that are smaller than my spare GTR core. It would seem to flow well enough as with the cooler installed my boost has gone from10-11 psi to 13-14 psi. It has essentially made my boost controller obsolete, as i leave it turned off and run the std boost which now sits @13-14psi (stock turbo)

As for cooling i have a thermocouple that i want to mount before the manifold, but until then all i can say is that even after 8-9 laps @15psi flat around eastern creek, the inlet of the cooler is very hot to touch, the outlet is still ambient temperature, the crossover pipe behind the radiator is again very hot. So next is HPC coating or a similar solution to heateing of air downstream of IC. Rather agricultural means of testing but it may give you an idea

Is this too much information. In all i found the AVO bar & plate GTR cooler a better option than the GTST kit, but it means custom piping. If the AVO kit is alum piping than i would suggest this may be a better option than HKS

Thanks for the information. I just rang them, however the price is up to A$1550 full kit (yes, full kit: include everything need to go in, pressure drop 1psi at 15 psi...., new piping incule the pipe ti replace stock pipe) ship to Sydney frieght around 70~90....1 week)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
