I purchased an R33 GTR Cooler and an East Bear A31 GTR Cooler Piping Kit. I reckon paying the $500 for the GTR cooler is a better investment than $300 on a Hybrid Copy China Whistler core.

lol, its funny you say that.

i have one of these hybrid copes. and in terms of cooling efficiency i think it is actually quite good... but i have noticed that it is actually whistling!

Is there a known method of stopping this. it really is quite annoying.

Cheers.

I dont think there is much in it between the two coolers but youll pay a little more for a GTR cooler and they will both work well. I think youll have to be more concerned with organising the piping for the GTR kit you ll prob have to get it made up, where as the Hybrid kit comes with everything all together. The way the inlet and outlet pipes are designed are different. The GTR cooler inlet and outlet fold back a little from memory where as the Hybrid just stick straight out from the cooler. This something you will have to take into consideration when organising the piping kit. As for the whistling, not all of them whistle.

appoligies to dig up an oldish topic, but it had just come to relevance for me

I have a R33GTR intercooler sitting about, it is slightly damaged. Im not sure if i should go a genuine hybrid or stick with the GTR cooler. Big pickle im in. do real hybrids whistle? Any furthur opinion, but more welcome- evidence one is better than the other?

go the GTR cooler as it will flow alot better than any Hybrid cooler (unless its very damaged of course!)

:(

ahhahahahahahahhahaha!!!

do you really think you would notice the differences between a gtr cooler and a hybird one?

How can anyone turn away a hybird cooler it cost around $200-$300, i havnt had any problems with mine and it flows good :) u pay that or more for a SECOND HAND gtr cooler

Im not sure personally but this is the general idea ive noticed around the forums.

A REAL Hybrid cooler will cost u similar to what a GTR cooler will cost, a China cooler may whistle which piss's ppl off!

But im glad u thought it was so amusing...

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
