Intercooler Pictures And Diagram

[ChrisB]

Hi,

I'm talking to an overseas manufacturer of intercoolers.

I was looking at getting a HDI GT2 Intercooler kit for my M35 and figured the guys selling them on ebay for $600 a pop are getting them from somewhere for about half that price.

My supplier has requested pictures, diagram etc.

Can anyone help with information on the dimensions of the pipes etc.

If these guys come up with a good price I will be getting one for my motor and will be the guinea pig.

If they can supply good quality at the right price then i will look at a group buy.

Cheers

So you want someone else to give you all the info on their current intercooler kit so you can get it copied so you can get a cheap intercooler?

600 for a kit is heaps cheap just buy it. Do you realise how hard it would be to accurately dimension and draw the pipe work for the kit? And you want someone to do it as a favour?

Good luck with that.

Every chance someone actually has a layout drawing.

Doesn't the kit come with a diagram when you buy it?

There will be a parts diagram from the original Nissan one somewhere.

It does't need to be dimensional.

I can measure it myself if needed.

When I bought the kit it didn't include a diagram. But with how tight the space is I think you would struggle hard to make a one off any cheaper as there would probably be a lot of trial and error.

I personally think for the quality of the hdi kits and what's included its a steal.

You gotta remember it's nit just a core with a few bits of pipe. It also includes all your joiners and clamps, plus the required brackets for installing the after market thermo you will need to install. And in comparison to all the jap kits it's sooo cheap.

The other thing is the his kit as proven flow rates and design. You might save $200 getting something made and then have it being a peice of sh#t. And then still have to fork out the extra cash to fix it or make another.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Don't get me wrong, i'm perfectly prepared to spend the money. I just enjoy shopping around. Someone is making a lot of money out of these and many other aftermarket items that are not manufactured in Japan, USA or here in Australia.

Shame, I can get kits that look the same as the HDI branded product to suit just about every other Skyline or Silvia, WRX, Mitsubishi etc for about $150 plus shipping.

They don't seem to have it for the VQ25DET just yet.

As I was prepared to be a guinea pig and test this out, pending a good result, it could have befitted the whole community by offering more choice.
