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:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
