i'm doing a 1jz conversion into a bmw....problem is my 1jz intercooler wont fit properly....and i dont really want to force it to fit by cutting up the bumper and body too much....so basically what options do i have?

so far i've seen intercoolers like infinite, redline and the ones from klg auto in old klang road....also there is a brand called mines being sold in sunway shops.....anyone got any experience with these intercoolers....the thing those intercoolers have in common is that they're all made in taiwan and im told that japan ones are way better....the problem is its hard to find japanese intercoolers unless its halfcut one...and i prefer it to be new....the ones that are available are not only too expensive but they're too big to fit as well....im looking for 22x9x3 inch size....

is there much of a power loss by using taiwan intercoolers....or is there no difference from my standard intercooler? i dont mind not gaining any power but just dont wanna lose any.

would appreciate if anyone can share their knowledge on this matter or their experience using any of the above brands of intercoolers...thank you.

i guess its more efficient than the stock ones , u wont loose power, get the correct size
u want japanese ones ? errr y not, if u got the cash , Garrett ? HKS ? ARC ? , but seriously new ones arent cheap, they have them in sunway, ss racing & etc

get reviews of Hybrid Australia Intercooler, it comes from china too

would you like a customised Garrett intercooler ? we have them in raw CORE..so you weld your own end tanks.

As you have mentioned yourself..."good things don't come cheap..." and "cheap things don't really perform well..."

The few brands you mentioned above are basically China intercoolers, but , rebranded by local guys and claims of 'taiwan' made and 'usa technology'..
