'Cooler Stuff

[MacGuyver]

Hey guys, I'm in the process of shopping around for a new fmic and was wondering about which is the best 'cooler to get. I've been looking at ordering a Trust one from Japan which sounds pretty good but I also saw Xspeed had HKS Type S kits for a reasonable price (if they have them in stock). Which would be the better choice? I was also considering a Hybrid kit as I've heard they are pretty good. But the Hybrid kit is a bar & plate design where as the Trust and the HKS ones are tube & fin (pretty sure). Is there much difference between these designs? Any thoughts guys?

For the price it's hard to pass up the Hybrids:D

All of the coolers mentioned are very good, so just depends whether you want to spend extra on the name brand or not.

hehe, i know what your on about Loz

I think though that Kym (strechnine) has devised a plan after his DIY install.

I will be checking out his handy work and see if i should attempt the master feat and if i find it easy enough... Loz, for your birthday...whenever that is... and with Paulies permission... i will do your piping as a gesture of good will

God bless,

Nate

See you sunday,

For what its worth I am using a HKS type S kit and I have been very happy with the results since I got it over a year ago.....

I decided to go with the Trust/Greddy intercooler kit. Only gonna cost me $1264 for the kit itself, but that's not including the shipping from Japan which I reckon will be about 19500 Yen (roughly $247 maybe?) Good value!

"paaaaaaaaanch the caaaaaaaant!"

so that's $1511 all up.

Most shops here do custom jobs for $1k flat fitted.

DIY you can do it for $690

So really, not that good value eh.

[bless_you]

i agree with Kym on this one.

there is a great thread that kym started in WA forums RE: this matter, plus a good pic thread in the DIY section... thats if your tool friendly

Hybrid is as good as any jap cooler and leave you money for things like S-afc to tune your new setup.

$690 where? And what do you get for that?

[MacGuyver]

'Good value' as in excellent, not good value as in value for money. It's just one of my sayings, like mintox. Remember mintox? After I've put the 'cooler in I was going to look at tuning options. Would a S-afc be better, or should I go the whole hog and get a Power FC or similar setup as they would give me more tuning options. Any recommendations?
