As in title I just wondered if anyone had any opinions on the 2fast2cool intercoolers that have recently appeared on eBay. eBay Link I did do a search on here trying to see whether anybody on here had fitted these and what they thought to the quality but it didn't turn anything up. Also, I couldn't find any sizes of the stock intercoolers so couldn't tell whether the cores are even any bigger than standard. The pressure drop figure sounds pretty good to me but I couldn't find anything zed related to compare it to.

 

Any opinions appreciated!

yeah i seen these a week or so ago .... they look ok size is thicker ... but who knows

hrm i gues stheres only one way to know really, however you can get uprated versions from z1 for about the same which are well praised.

admittedly the exchange rate isnt the 2$ to the pound it was a while back its still only $600 so after tax etc your probally looking at around £400 japspeeds price is £350.

pretty close in comaprision the greddy or stillebn pretty close price wise.

$600 = £400

Plus shipping... $100???

Plus 20% vat on arrival + handling fee.

These will be over £500 on your doorstep.

hrm last time i ordered stuff from the us, albiet 5 years ago now things were a little more favourable i guess. i didnt even get stung on the tax. and i did spent a fair bit lol luck of the draw unfortunatly. i occasionally import stuff from hong kong never had to pay duty from there.

but getting back on topic guess the only way to test them is to try them get the pre and post charge temps vs stock.

I'd take a punt at these for that price if I was in the market for intercoolers. Get in there quick though, I wouldn't expect them to be for sale very long.

Cheers for the advice people! I don't think they were on the Japspeed website when I first checked because as soon as I saw them on eBay I wondered if they would be made by Japspeed as I know a lot of 2fast2cool stuff for the zed is. Prior to spotting these I have looked at Z1 intercoolers and a couple of the more expensive ones but as pointed out they are not so good value for money at the moment having taken into account the worst case scenario price i.e. import duty, VAT, shipping charges.

 

Also, it's probably worth pointing out that my zed isn't anything particularly special power wise - it's just got standard turbos with upgraded bearings in for 14psi so it doesn't need a state of the art intercooler (what I mean by that is expensive) lol - a slight improvement over stock would suffice just to keep charge temps a bit safer.

 

Cheers for pointing out the ones SlickPete has for sale Joely P. I will sleep on it and see if they are still up for grabs in the morning.....I know it sounds silly when they're half the price but I wanted them to be shiney :p

they are Aluminium.... they can be polished!!! They were all satin black when I removed them from the car. I sanded back some of it to let people see the real condition..
