mickr33 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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........

raz0r$harP.UK Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65527-side-mount-intercooler-which-one/#findComment-1224672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickr33 Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 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?

leech_ Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 $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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65527-side-mount-intercooler-which-one/#findComment-1224766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 $220 for a trust sidemount is a bargain. who gave you that price?? was it 2nd hand??

Jay95R33 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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. J P.S. - they work well, I've got one on the Stagea Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65527-side-mount-intercooler-which-one/#findComment-1224959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezertEagle Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 ARC side mount is like $1,700 for R33. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/65527-side-mount-intercooler-which-one/#findComment-1225009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz0r$harP.UK Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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.

wolverine Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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).

cul202 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 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. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=65300 The R34 stockers are quite a bit bit taller & thicker than the std R33 ones... .
