Side mount intercooler. Which one?

[mickr33]

Hi guys and girls. Would please like some suggestions on which side mount cooler to get, how much i should expect to pay and where are the best places to purchase from. Yes i have considered to go the front mount option but just want something for a slight upgrade that fits straight on. Thanks........

How much power are you looking for?

An R34 GTT intercooler is okay if you're not chasing huge power..there's a few threads on them. For about $150. I'm making 200kw with one.

Otherwise ARC, Greddy make side mount intercoolers as well, for a lot more than $150

Hi Razorsharp. Not looking so much for power figures but more efficiency as i feel sorry for the turbo running 12psi all the time in this hot weather. And the standard cooler is so pissy in its size. I rang a couple of places and was priced $220 for a Trust side mount. Is this a good price? If this sounds too good a price could it be a made in China(cheap cheap) version?

$220 seems bloody cheap for a band name ic full stop. but if you can get them for $220 i would be interested to know the specs as i would probably but one at that price. let me know mick

$220 for a trust sidemount is a bargain. who gave you that price?? was it 2nd hand??

If it is a trust side mount it should be around 100-120mm thick.. They are very thick !!

It'll also have TRUST stamped on the bottom of it.

If you can get one for $220 grab it cause they are about $1000 new !!! Second hand they go upwards of $400.

P.S. - they work well, I've got one on the Stagea

ARC side mount is like $1,700 for R33.

mickr33 that sounds too cheap. The Greddy Type 13 R-SPL for the GTST measures 192x250x119, and is priced on the Trust Japan site for over AUS$1000. Also the intercoolers are branded 'GReddy,' not 'Trust' so if you see an intercooler with Trust painted on the core it's a fake.

if they are making cheap knock-offs in china for $200 that would do me. given the hybrid copies getting so cheap nowadays.

i think the greddy IC's are made in china already (happy to be corrected).

BMT has genuine ARC side mount (R34) for $1000, so yeah, if you can get a copy for $220 that would probably be the go.

The R34 stockers are quite a bit bit taller & thicker than the std R33 ones...
