HKS Intercooler

[scoobster]

Been looking into getting an HKS Intercooler but on Taka Kiara all the HKS intercoolers are listed to fit chassis numbers 200000 + but it lists the years as 91/12 onwards

Now mine is a 93 Type X but from the chassis number i have been given it\'s below 200000??

Any ideas if it will fit??:confused:

hello mate, theres a cheap HKS intercooler on ebay item number 7915550328. At the mo its going for $500 which is about £273.36p.

You say your from the North East, were abouts???

Cheers Scott.

The HKS kit on eBay has pipework missing.

If you dont get caught with tax and duty you will have a sweet deal, but if you do get caught then you will be paying almost as much as if you bought it from the UK.

Plus there are better kits about now, than the HKS kit for a lot less money.

which kits are these and where can we get one from?

[scoobster]

SCOOMER, yeah that was the one i was thinking about bidding on but rang Sumo to ask if it would fit a 93 Type X with a lower chassis number but they said they didn\'t know for sure but if HKS say it\'s for above 200000 then the chances are it won\'t fit:(

Fish, which IC kit would you fit? and where can i get one from?

All I will say for now is hold on, as one is being developed at the moment. They are also working of a V-Mount kit.

is there a simple explanation of the pro\'s & cons of front mount vs. V mount

[Fish]

Front Mount:

Pros: Cold air to the intercooler, thus keeping charge temps down.
Cons: Obstruction placed in front of radiator, thus temps *could* go up.

V-Mount:

Pros: Cold air to both intercooler and radiator. Again keeping temps down.
Cons: PRICE!

what\'s the price implication.  Are V-Mounts awkward to fit?

spotted this on eBay.  decent or rubbish?

The V-Mounts are normally a good couple of hundred quid more as you get both the intercooler and radiator.

Never seen a Trust kit like that fitted to an FD. But have seen some older versions.

so I presume you need to replace the stock rad as well?  for some reason I though it could be repositioned. :confused:

sorry for thread jack and what are probably real simple and basic questions!:rolleyes:

[Fish]

Most front mounts will allow you to just stand up the stock rad.

Does an FMIC on an RX7 require you to lose the AC, someone told me this and I just wanted to check.

Does the V-mount cool the charge as well as a FMIC and could you please explain what a V-mount is. Is it just like a bigger version of the standard setuo?

Thanks.
