I got mine from this person: http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/s...p?member=24671

with 600*300*76 and without serious power mods, i doubt any big name brands are really going to perform enough (if any) better to be worth it.

Some things to look for:
Pressure drop (0.2psi at 15psi seems to be reasonably standard)
Pressure it is tested to
End tank inlet/outlet size. if 3" then you will need reducers if you use standard pipe.
mount points. helps to have mount points alread in the correct locations

PS: with mine when I get out after a thrash, the inlet side is warm but outlet is stone cold

I think most of them are the same as well, it is much cheaper to buy on trademe as well

I got mine $200.00 delivered to my door. Which should be here in the next couple of days

^^thats a good price...what size u get?


thanx for the help everyone...probably get one soonish to add to all the other sh!t i got for my car that hasnt been put in yet..is the standard piping all good to use if upgrading the IC?

ahhh another thing, might as well get my decat pipe put in, what bolts and stuff do i need again?

4 X (M10 X 45), 4 X bolts, 8 X flat washers, 4 X spring washers.

any specific types of bolts, flat washers and spring washers?? got the "M10 x 45" bolts

edit: ahhh another thing lol, i got a 3" apexi exhaust on TE a lil while back, but i dont think it goes all the way to the turbos..would it be possible to get someone like pitstop or whatever to carry the 3" piping on? if so how much ya reckon??

soz bout all the questions..

[OSiRiS]

600x300x76 brand new polished

I'm planning to use standard piping for now, but upgrade later on. At the same time while I'm installing the FMIC, I'm planning on upgrading the oil cooler

Have no idea about the decat pipe and bolt questions sorry

[ShadyNZer]

^sweet, still tryin to get rails for those seats i got off u too lol

[OSiRiS]

:\ didn't know it was that much of a mish. Freddy seems to be on to it

[ShadyNZer]

yeah ill get onto this dude from mmc see what he reckons...

the most important part is the CORE.

look inside the intercooler. it needs to have hundreds of little folded fins. rather than half a dozen tubes

Where from?

[OSiRiS]

Where from?

It was a one off. Apparently the guy who bought it sold it shortly after his Legnum got stolen. He was planning to put it on his Legnum.

So I offered $200 and got it

have u got a pic so i know what to look for?

Does going to a 600*300*76 improve performance? I have read so many conflciting posts, some say it is good others say it results in fuelling problems.

For people who have installed one themselves is it much of a job?

[Kenneth]

I believe it does improve performance.

I do not seem to have fueling issues. BDA did, but then he did all his piping at the same time. I think he also had some boost leaks, cant remember if he still had the issues after.
Could be that with the piping all done the ECU saw elevated air flow vs RPM and had kittens.

Personally I found the biggest issue was modifying the piping to attach to standard pipes. You would probably be better off doing a piping kit at the same time.

You will also have to decide how you are going to attach you intercooler.

I had use of an engineering workshop which made things much eaiser.

what about 600x300x76 versus 600x300x100, I know that there is more overall surface area, but then the frontal area of each is the same, would there really be much differance?

have you seen how close my IC is to the bumper? the bumper had to be trimmed, so basically that extra 24mm is going to come straight out of the bumper. other than that, its not going to make much difference at all.

to be honest, if i could do it again i would try get a 600x270x76 or some such.

[ShadyNZer]

^^ did yours have those folded fins like ABIM said?

[Kenneth]

yep, sure did!
