I should be able to take one off your hands as well.. When do you need a firm Yes/No by???

Do you know what the pressure drop is like?

I'm very interested if it is similar to the small amount lost by APR's FMIC.

Yes would be interesting to know. even though ive already ordered mine from sharkie.

I've managed to track down the supplier and he is willing to bring in 5 of these. Pricing will be around $300 landed in Brisbane. ETA mid June.

Here is a picture of it fitted.



The piping (stainless) can be done in Brisbane for around $700 so, all up you would look at $1000 fitted.

It is a perfect fit between all the piping and bits in there with no need for any cutting of anything......

Is that the same one as yours, Johan?

I have also found that a PWR unit to suit a R32/33 GTSt skyline may fit... Overall dimensions - 650(w) x 380(h) x 80 (t) for about $895... can get a custom one made with a core that is not as tall but will probably be more $$$

I would not use a 4wd diesel intercooler on a petrol car for the same reasons I would not use a truck intercooler - designed for different flow types and placement

[GTIJNR]

yup, thats the one... yum

[shaneth]

This is an 4wd intercooler

very similar to the older nissan patrol tdi cooler unit... madza rx7 FC and older mx6 & tx5 have similar design... but the nissan unit is the best, probly biggest design with same side in&out...

[Blitzen]

Mate, that looks the the dogs bollocks...Very nice...Who, and how much, If you don't mind me asking?

[showoff]

I want for g/f's IV gti.... give it too me... i pay cash.... cheap cheap...

haha... can we organise a group buy or some ****... do do do do do

[Sharkie]

There is a noticable increase in power....(maybe I'm just imagining it)... and a noticably deeper sound to the engine under power. Not too noisy but nice.

Car still lookes stealth with nothing really noticable unless you know what to look for.





Looking at the std one that came out its easy 2.5 time bigger.

Also done so neatly in the engine bay that I bet a normal VW dealer mechanic would not even notice....

[mitch_gti]

Nice !!!!!!

Tell me, power wise can you feel much difference?

Also, curious as to whether it sounds any different?

[Sharkie]

It is in now and WOW .... the intake pipe is actually cool after a drive.... It used to be untouchably hot....

All up well under $1000.00

I'll post pictures tomorrow...
