Anyone used them? Are they any good?

Thanks for any help.

never heard of them...

do they have a website???

They're on ebay, and originated on nissansilvia.com. The NS guys like them, but they own nissans.

They will probabally be a fair bit heavier than the expensive ones due to using a cheaper metal to make them and having to over engineer it. The pressure drop will be more than what they reakon, 0.2 psi is way too small a pressure drop to be possible for an intercooler. For the price they probabally aren't too bad. Just look at say spending 150 on an intercooler rather than for a good one being say 700 for a similar product. Even if it doesn't cool as well as the expensive one and has a little more pressure drop the money you save can be put to somewhere else that would easily make up for the power difference that you would gain otherwise.

The core is suppose to be made by the same factory as the hybrid intercoolers with the end tanks being welded in china. Its a good intercooler and comparable to more expensive ones out there, i have a friend who uses it in his turboed ed falcon which makes around 300kws, so should be suitable for a starion.

Sweet, thanks for all the help. :D

Looks like they buy everything here :http://www.carparts.com.hk/index.html

bought stuff from them before, quality seems to be ok, never had troubles with them, good service.

But i would stay with intercoolers and manifolds.. The turbos and bloww off valves, are all faked OEM parts (useless!!)

Cheers

I have one of the cheap arse intercoolers on my car. works fine, good temperature drop and bugger all pressure drop over the intercooler.
For the cost of them cant really complain.
