Hybrid I/Cs ... help?


Recommended Posts

No Hybrid Brand he is talking about not apexi

I have one in my machine seems to be of good quality its a 600x300x75 i think it cost $900 but i think the price has come down a bit more since i bought mine.

No problems so far i recommend them over a Jap "brand" name, aussies arent too bad at doing that sort of shit :)

I have what ur talking about on my car too. Go to the thread I/C Spray under the performance forum, on page one, i have posted a couple of pics of mine on my car.

These are wicked coolers. Mine has been great. unless its a real hot day, you can go for a fang, pull up on the road side, and put your hands on the inlet and outlet cooler piping, and the outlet pipe is totally cold, while the inlet is quite warm! Its not scientific, but its satisfying ;)

I have been told by the ppl who sell them that they flow 30% better than a 33GTR core does, and they cool good too. This is coz they are a Bar and Fin core. Apparently the best of bar-n-plate and tube-n-fin.

Official name is Hybrid Supercooler. Most people overlook them straight away coz they dont have a big name like HKS or Apexi, and coz they arent expensive so people think they cant be that good. But like Macka says, aussies have their shit together here.

Even if that WAS true i dont know any 250rwkw 2litre cars and if they were that serious Im sure they would put in a 90mm thick core or more.....

Anyway we are talking about whether they will be suitable for Nismofreak and i think it will be way big enough for him!

hey dont shoot me down im just telling you my info!!!!!!!!!!! A mate has a sr20 bored to 2.1litres with all the gear he had a 75mm hybrid core we couldnt get the car much beyong 245-260rwkw no matter how much boost we screwed into the thing, there happened to be a car with a trust cooler on it which was actually a little smaller and straight away the car went up 15rwkw, so we got it on the flow bench and the numbers indicated that the hybrid was just not flowing so now he has a 110mm item!! Yes i agree this cooler is fine for nismo freak just putting in my info to give him something to think about. Oh and macka that WAS true!!! Im sure they make more than one core and thins was one of their first so no doubt they have improved since then!!! PLus they are a really good price i say go for it i just thought id share my experiences sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe relax dude...

Not trying to have ago the yare just discussions......

Thanks for letting us know that, maybe they are different coolers or the same im not sure i thought that those hybrid coolers are bar and plate is that like truck coolers? So they are good flowing but maybe not as efficient as some of the other type...but i spose u only have to worry about that if ur running boost.....

Good work to your mate with the SR that car must be bombed!

shes cool :cool::)

no worries yeah i did ark up a bit but wasnt tryin to be just turned out that way in the type. Yeah the 180 with that sr is pretty lethal but theres just no grip peopl in mild rexes n gsr lancers just nail him at the lights then by the time he can really do anything about it everyone thinks they have won. Theres no traction till bout 100kays but its fun to passenger in:eek:

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
