Hey Gly,

checked out the kit this morning in Hong Kong.

Seems ok and looks correct fitment.

all there boxes specifically say for 6a13tt. vr4.

they also have radiator piping.

brent

So how much would the kit be all up?
It is only $299 for the Intercooler piping, how about for the radiator?

 

[Guest]

just spotted this... http://michaelautoparts.openstores.com.au/product.html?id=294

[naughtika]

Gly, that michaelautoparts is in sydney apparently.. and is just another branch by the same owners from HK

Gly whats wrong with your radiator ? isnt your car a 2000 model the radiator shouldnt be stuffed already would it ?

I also looked at the radiotor all very good quality.

Is anyone interested in a group buy for the cooler and piping? be under $500 for both... I need definate numbers as im currently contacting the guy from Sydney.

Cheers,

Hi Brent,

what size would the cooler be? Is it a guaranteed fit without cutting the impact beam?

Will it be under $500 delivered?

If so then I'm keen

thanks

Lee

 

[Outlanded]

Yes under 500 delivered
no cutting requried cooler is
600x180x76

Sorry to be a n00b but I've read the big Intercooler thread and still don't quite understand the benefit of getting an aftermarket one... does it allow higher boost pressure? Does it increase economy? Both?

If economy gains can be on the order of 1 litre / 100km then I'm interested for $500.

yes economy, increased boost levels as soft pipe is removed.

overall can increase power and effienceny depending on how u drive...

 

[VR4Rocket]

i am very interested in the piping....but not the intercooler I picked up a 600x300x75 with 2.5inch tubes for a good price so I am just interested in hard piping and radiator hard piping....

 

[naughtika]

mookers, check out my thread in member's ride, in there i have pretty much logged all the mods I've done so far.. and to quickly answer your question.. YES fuel economy gets better as well as the performance..

Kevin, I dont think you'd wanna use a hard pipe on your radiator.. just use silicon based hose or a tougher one..

 

[VR4Rocket]

Cool! Cheers for that Christian! you going to go down this line?

 

[Guest]

So just how much better is the hard pipes vs after-market silicon hoses?

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Put me down if it's for both!

 

[mookers]

yes economy, increased boost levels as soft pipe is removed.

overall can increase power and effienceny depending on how u drive...

Sounds good... I think I can find an extra $500 somewhere... sign me up

 

[Outlanded]

ok cool

I have actually purchased a set of the intercooler piping today in Hong Kong . as I was desperate for piping, but I am still chatting with the guy in sydney. so leave it with me and I'll see what I can tee up.

Cheers,
Brent
