which IC would be suitable for my mods ?

[michaelb]

Hi All

Some of you know that I have had a full engine re-build done ONLY 200miles ago by Powergains Motor Sport. Still running it….

I am in the market for an IC unit and would like some advice which IC would be suitable for my mods, it needs to be:

1) Reliable
2) Would not cost an arm and a leg second hand
3) Look the business with hard pipes, I have a number of seriously shiny bits under the bonnet and would like something what looks good.  I have polished plenium, thermostat housing, water pump housing, boost pipe,

I have a 96 RB Bathurst still twin turbo and my mods are

De cat silenced mid pipe form dragon
HKS Super Dragger Exhaust
No Air Pump, Greddy pulleys
Apexi pfc
HKS Racing Suction Kit with hard pipes
Blitz BOV

Any recommendations? Pictures of your engine bay with the IC would be very welcome    

Is any one selling something suitable?

Regards,
Michaelb

My Greddy would love great under your bonnet michael. I posted a for sale thread on here so i suppose it\'s still in the members section till next week. It\'s in great condition. A little dirty could do with a polish with some autosol, but it would mate upto a polished Y pipe niceley.I also have the stainless air duct that fixes to the front although this is not in the pics. Your\'s for £220 delivered. I bought this off jeff at hayward rotary last year for £300

Good intercooler that, needs some ducting to get the most from it but thats just more shiney stuff to go with it, fair price for it too.

Hello Robbie

Thanks for the reply and the offer

Let me ‘shop around a little’ before I commit my self to a unit.  TBH I am not in a rush as I have just coffed up for a re-build having set that do you have better pictures of your IC or any other pictures of that model?

for what you have a large core stock mount, Greddy, ARC or Knightsports. Better cooling over stock but without the lag of a massive front mount. If your feeling very rich V-mount.
 
Cheers

This will give you an idea of what it\'ll look like all polished up. I also have the same AST as in the pic for sale too if your interested £65 posted.

I\'ve got the same intercooler as Robbie there, but branded Trust rather than GReddy (but obviously the exact same thing). I\'d recommend it without reservations, excellent bit of kit, if that\'s any help in making your decision. Just like allstaruk said, you need to make sure you get the ducting to it right, but it\'s fantastic quality, totally bombproof and avoids major hassle fitting a front or V-mount, which are possibly a bit overkill on a mild tune anyway. Polishes up lovely,too
