Go for it Soff... your car is already eating up M3s already, so you might as well look the part as well.

IM using hotbits and yeah they are not bad. comfortwise the stock one is ofcourse the most comfortable but the hotbits ones are just a tad stiffer ... do you have a turbo or N/A mr2?

 

[soff]

Thanks iexit. Seems like a lot to change,,,,,,,the whole exterior or almost...

The fibre work looks great, I doubt you can get the same quality here.

I got turbo on my ride which is fitted with a trd springs and cartridge. Hmmm stiffer sounds good btw where did u purchase the hotbits from?

Hi all Midship sifus,
Wud like some advice on what to choose on intercoolers.:hmmmm:
I hv planned to up grade my turbo to Garrett BB GT-30 and what is the most suitable intercooler to go with:hmmmm: :hmmmm: , I believe the stock IC will not cope, looking at 300+ hp. Anyone have experience on water/air IC? What about China made water/air IC and Taiwan made Trust IC replica? Water injection anyone using?:hmmmm:
Appreciate any sifu can share
Thanks buddies.

 

[iexit]

Congratulations on your turbo upgrade! There are some kaki's here running way pass 300bhp on the wheels already. Anyway the ultimate IC mod is to put the intercooler in the boot. If so, you can use any intercooler, of course matching it to your turbine would be more ideal. One our frens SW was running 600bhp with that set up.

Best in engine bay intercooler would be the TRUST or Phoenix power but its not easy to find in the market place. Other stock position intercoolers include HKS, ARC (Toms has one PM him)Blitz and some other Japanese brands.

You can also get the china made IC, but make sure you dyno it to see if there are improvements. Good luck and join out TT the next time, lets discuss :-)

 

[Green06]

Thanks iexit, TT sound good, sure when? Btw, Tom's ARC still available? Condition pls.
