L33 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 i have a spec m greddy 2 row intercooler and im planning on fitting the phr street single kit so running around 500bhp looking at getting the greddy 3 row but its around £1200. ive priced this into my budget buy would be nice to save money where i can so... is there any other intercoolers that wil be capable of the job for less money? do i have to buy a whole new intercooler kit again or can i just change the core? cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I rekon the 2 row you have will do the job, worth giving it a try either way imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hi lee mate found this site for Blitz LM V-Spec kit 100mm 4 row same as mine £738 worth goggling might find even cheaper see link below; http://www.optionimports.com/blitz-intercooler-kit.html Edited November 27, 2008 by lui (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 A stock side mount will handle 400bhp and a 2 row fmic is only rated to the same? When i first got the red T88 supra that had a 2 row fmic and all was ok but i upgraded to a blitz 3 row when i rebuilt the car. As on a budget id still give it a try and make sure its properly ducted. Also there are plenty of single cars running around with the xs power ic, as you have the pipework already that could work out a cheaper option.

L33 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 what was your T88 running bhp wise? its just hard budgeting and knowing where to save money! obviously if the intercooler will stil make it run fine i would like to keep as i said beofre its near on new!! lui did you get my txt? cheers for the help you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 o rite cheers heckler. im not to clue up on mechanics of cars so what extra bits would i need to fit the single kit? i have a double decat, but people mention a different down pipe, um what is a down pipe :S i thought that was the 1st cat coming down which ive got rid of for decat any way. and phr mentioned they dont have the right fitment for my intercooler, what part do they mean? because they do have a list of specific intercoolers they cater for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intercooler pipe is the one pice pipe which connects from the turbo to the FMIC - but this is specific to the intercooler as they have different inlets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same on my Supe (when I was BPU) as Lui has ... the RMM downpipe which is a really nice piece and work great with the PHR street kit. Regarding the intercooler, PHR makes aluminium pipes for the GReddy 3 row intercooler, not the 2 row one. So you would have to get the alu pipes somewhere else to have the intercooler connected to the turbo and intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prob As said, the RMM downpipe is not really expensive and removes the 2nd cat too ... gives you better response and a better bhp figure (you just have to switch back to the OEM downpipe for MOT) Regarding the intercooler pipes, talk to the guy who will work on your car ... maybee a little bit custom working and it will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 i wil look into the RMM downpipe i stil have my stock 2 cats all connected in my shed from where i decatted, there stil together because there rusted together but hey it wil do! cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I ran mid 500's on the xspower jobbie with no real issues, yours is better than that so dont go wasting your money unless you have an issue during testing/mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDModified Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hey Lee Do you need to buy right now?? anything you want prices on make a list for and let me do the homework. I will find you the best prices. Not just that, its not a good time to buy now if your project wont start untill the new year.

Homer Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Who is it on here that's running nearly 600bhp with 'just' a decent side mount intercooler - is it Wez? Yep, well sort of, it's a Chris Wilson one. There's one other, but can't recall who it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a decent side can do it, sometimes its not just about what can do it but what helps do it if you know what I mean, But your right, Hence my question - do we need to change it yet? lets get mapped up and see what can be done.
