Hope I'm able to post links here..

 

Does anyone know if this is a straight bolt in to the original pipework?

its a very tight fit. but they do go in, i removed the rad overflow bottle and washer bottle and carbon canister to fit mine, you will also need ducts you can use the stock duct but it will only send air to half the cooler am making some for mine, to get the air to the whole cooler. the more clear the air can get in a out the better, you mite get away with just getting rid of the carbon canister. but lets face it whats the point of a bigger cooler if its rammed in tight with other stuff round it, yes you used the stock pipes. here is a pic of the stock vs the uprated to give you an idea

Would you say it's worth buying? I'm relatively a newbie in terms of what's worth buying or if there's something better in the market

is the car stock ?

For the most part. New exhaust system, replaced turbos but they're no different to stock, new radiator, hicas removed.

 

Goal is I'm making my way towards a remap for 450bhp

It's ALWAYS worth buying bigger SMICs regardless of whether your car is stock or not. They'll help charge temperature and make the engine safer, the stock SMICs are quite restrictive.

seen as you have done the basics you mite as well, but spend the money maybe on the down pipes and decat

Will these support the 450 bhp goal?

look at it like this all the little bits add up to a big bit

What do you mean by only sending half the air to the cooler?

if you fit the stock duct it only covers just over half the new cooler so you end up with the top of the new cooler getting no air passing through it

Will these support the 450 bhp goal?

 

Yes. However, there's no flow information, but they are substantially larger than stock. Go too big and you'll have too much of a pressure drop which can have the reverse effect.

 

For only 450, I'd go with Z1 SMICs - I don't really know much about the ZCentre ones. They look like copies of the larger Ashspec Massivs.

Ah now I understand you.

I'm trying to go through ZCentre for delivery purposes as I'm home from university for the next 4 weeks so sooner i can get it here sooner i can work it in. It states a 0.5 psi drop?

I wonder if ZCentre, Japspeed, Godspeeed and various others are actually the same Chinese made product?

yes there all the same. but there well made

yes there all the same. but there well made

 

Thought as much. Available on a certain auction site for £140.

yes. for the money there a bargain.

Am i allowed to post eBay links in here? Want your guys opinion on a product thats cheaper than Centre, Japspeed etc.

Thats the link. Not sure if it was the £140 you guys were on about! But leaves me a lot of extra change to get some more stuff!

What do you guys think?

just bare in mind yes they bolt rite on but some stuff will need moving and cutting you will understand when you start doing it

Yeah I'm fine with that.

 

What do you think of the quality of those ebay ones?

same as the z centre ones i have the same for the money there very good , the cross section is also more open so less restrictive thats the oem coolers

I shall order them then! The spare change will be spent touching up some rough spots too. Brilliant

 

Thanks all for your input, much appreciated

order some alu sheet of ebay to make your ducts i will be doing this when the car comes back from paint i will post some pics so you can see when i do it

Great, will put them in my basket too!
