Hey,

 

I have the opportunity to buy a front mount intercooler and all the kit required for an easy fit. Only thing is that i dont feel like i know enough about ic's to know if its a good deal of not? So if you could give me your opinions, id greatly apreciate it! :)

 

Heres the details:

 

Front mount intercooler, pipework & silicone hoses for the 89-97 Nissan 300ZX Z32 VQ30DETT by AUTOBAHN88, all years all models. The intercooler core size is a massive 515mm x 210mm x 70mm and has a pressure drop of only 0.2psi @ 15 psi. The intercooler is polished aluminum with a bar and plate design. The pipework is polished aluminum. ABS and air conditioning do no not need relocated or removed. This kit work just like the HKS kit.

 

*Fully polished

*Tabs on bottom and top for easy installation

*Improved 15 big bar design with offset fins to increase efficiency

*Supports more than 650HP

*Latest unique bar & blate core design to improve air velocity by 15% over the old design

*Ultra low pressure drop 0.5-1psi at 23psi (Normal Bar and Plate 2.8- 4 psi at 23 psi)

*35 % weight reduction

*The kit will not only dress up your engine bay but will also allow for the much better flow of air in and out of your intercooler maximizing cooling on your 300ZX.

 

They want about £350 for the kit, is it gonna be a bargain or is it just alot of money for some bits of metal and some ott statements and figures? lol! :rofl:

 

Heres some pics:

 

 

 

Cheers guys :)

i actually have brought this kit and i have been impressed by it i dont no what extra power or anything like that it gives you i have had mine around 6 months you get a lot more of a whistle sound after installtion for the money i think they are fine

Thanks for the reply,

 

Did you import them? If so, i dont suppose you can remember how much you paid for import duty and how you went about paying it can you?

 

Cheers

The kits cheaper on Ebay

Lots of them on ebay. A Chinese/korean copy of the HKS I believe.

 

Fitted a couple previously to other peoples cars. The filters are cheap and crap, so best to replace them. One of the kits had really poor hose clamps that kept blowing off.

 

Other than that, the IC itself seemed good quality and the hoses all fitted with a bit of jiggling.

 

I prefer Side mounts personally, but better not start that argument LOL

Ask the seller to send it as a used radiator worth £50 and you will pay little duty. Only thing is, if it should get lost or damaged in transit you would not be able to claim against DHL or who ever and have lost all your money.

Why not buy from Flat4online? I did, £200 delivered :-) from a UK supplier, took an age to arrive though. I was reasonably impressed with the quality but it is quite difficult to get a good seal on all the pipes and hoses. I was sure mine was fitted well but found some small leaks around some of the joins after attacking it with a squirty bottle of diluted washing up liquid...

Seems to do the job but I've only just got my car back on the road and haven't hit 1 bar yet...

Cheers

I'm actually looking at one of these. How long did it take to arrive? weeks? days? months? :cry:

 

:duffer:

I think it was 3 months in the end (!) I wasn't in any hurry though as the engine was out for most of that time. According to the retailer Autobahn hadn't had a production run for some time and hence I had to wait until there was a kit available. If they have one in stock the turnaround would be quick, I'm sure...

Fook! 3 months! I'd better make contact and see if they have any in stock before I order one then.
