starlybruiser Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Well i have been having a good chat to a member on here about these intercoolers on ebay, he has one fitted to hit glanza and says they are great coolers , just wondering if anyone else on here has had any experience with them? they are only 200 notes which is a very good price, the clamps look top notch too plus the Bov is on the cold pipe, heres the link guys, help much appriciated http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-STARLET-GLANZ...A1%7C240%3A1318 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I have one of these. Obviously i had to make brackets to get it on my n/a bodied SR but it still works the same. It is pretty dam good especially for the price. It cools really well and the boost is nice and strong. I've blocked off my dump pipe as well so i get the lovely chatter The bad points i would say that the clamps that hold the silicone on are a bit weak. They pop off on the pipe that comes off the turbo but getting some good strong ones solves that problem. They pipe route is also a bit weird as it goes over the mani and underneath. A bit of a longer route.The HDI ones are good ones as well but you have cut massive amounts of the bumper away.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Did you notice much performance gain just fitting the intercooler alone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i have one of these and for the price you cant go wrong, they do sliighlty promote lag but its minimal, also the route of hte piping is all over the place, when i get abit of time ive got a fab shop ready to divert the piping from the turbo to coooler in the same style as the jam cooler i have,by and large the coooler is big but it does what it says on the tinps make sure you get extra dubely clips when joining it up as garanteed one of the boost pipes fill pop off if its your first time isntalling one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 the core is too big and those welded 90 degree elbows are horrific. but its 200 quid, so you cant really complain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 are these basically the autobahn kits but with the BOV port on the cold pipe instead of the hot one? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Also, enzo will this be plenty good enough to run with your gt spec hybrid at 1 bar? or do i need something a bit better? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lee_EP82 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Im sure they are capable of 200bhp tbh with you they should be good for about 250bhp with good jubilee clips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Also, enzo ;) will this be plenty good enough to run with your gt spec hybrid at 1 bar? or do i need something a bit better? cheersits what i use on my silver v with gt spec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeN Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I also have one of these.For the money they are ok. Like Enzo said, the route for the piping is a bit weird.If i had the choice i probably wouldn't buy it again and spend a little more money for a system with better piping.
