I'm sure this has been done to death but I couldn't find anything about the specific coolers I'm looking at.

Brief spec of car is HKS 2.8, Vcam, Garret G30-770 turbo. Power goal is 600-650HP.

I'm trying to decide between the HPI 100MM, Plazmaman 76MM & HKS 100MM. The HKS & Plazmaman are roughly the same price landed in the UK, the HPI is around £200 cheaper.

Has anyone used the HPI core? Is the HKS/Plazmaman worth the extra over the HPI? Will I see any advantage over the 100MM core vs the 76MM core?

At the moment I am leaning towards the HPI but only want to buy once :)

yeah 650AWHP. 

The Plazmaman is only 76mm though but they say rated to 850HP.

Hypertune seems to be overpriced for what it is, its double the price of the HPI cooler & doesnt seem like it will give much more of a gain. Hypertune just seems to be for bling youtuber points

Hypertune has had a lot of complaints here recently regarding customer service, I'd probably pass unless you want to deal with that.

They have had ALOT of complaints for a long time. Absolute fkn pricks, esp Peter Lewin. That flamin mongrel deserves a punch in his fkn nuts.

Get a Plazmaman core, low IATs, good welds, good construction, good end tanks.

I run a 76mm one, and jam 2 bar (tapering down to 1.7bar) through it. IATs normally about 10~15 degrees more than ambient (and that's with the EMAP over shooting the MAP too).

What he said. You cant go wrong with Plazmaman. If you can fit a 100mm, then might as well stick that in.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
