I have the operchancity to buy either an HKS,Blitz or Trust front mount intercooler for my MY99 UK Turbo.Anybody any opinions on which is the best one? Price is much the same for either.

I am biased but why not consider a Hybrid. They were 708$ in the last GB and 825$ outwith the GB. Another G.B. is due in May.
I have not heard any negative feed back on these.

Go for the APS m8 its bigger and fits nicely, I did one on mine the drop in temps are awesome, check out there site.

wrxtankie,

I don't wish to start an argument but: APS claim a core volume of 9,072cm3 for the MY99/00 R-Series FMIC. The Hybrid monster core is 13,500cm3 ?

Thing is I can get these shipped to my door from Japan for £600 so these are my choices,I couldn't get an APS for anything like that and I don't want to wait as long as Hybrid would take. Any opinions on the 3 types?

(Plus I am a name tart!)

Cord

Seeing as those are your choices then the HKS would be top of the pile, and the blitz quite definately bottom.

AndrewC

HKS definitely has the best reputation out of your shortlist amongst Subaru owners.

Have you seen the size or felt the weight of the Hybrid IC, if not I suggest you take a look. I think in the next couple of months these IC's will start to make a name for themselves.

For 825$ you could have a Hybrid in 7-10 days. PM if interested.
From direct experience i suggest you use some form of mesh with the HKS as the core is soft and prone to FOD. No experience of the other two.

Judge

Hmmm that I did not expect! I thought it would be a lot longer! The Hybrid system is Bar and Plate is that right? How much is 825$ in quid?

£450 ish plus a bank charge plus any import duty.
e-mail me if you want to go ahead and I will give you all the gen.

I would definitely recommend the Hybrid too They are bar and plate design and well worth the money but I am biased too having fitted one

Cheers

Judge

HKS Is tube and fin, Not my choice for a front mount!

Hee Hee HKS is the Fella! £950 of your Scottish pounds.
from ......Somewhere in Scotland.

Hard piped to your spec.

Hi

What's the difference between Bar and Plate//Tube and Fin ??

Is there any advantage between Hybrid/APS/HKS or is it down to name and £..

If I fit a FMIC do you need to fit an induction filter ( I have seen other posts that say you do ) or can I keep my ITG panel filter ?

Thanks

Simon

Errr..sq72 HKS.. where in Scotland
??

M0NEY

Does anyone know what power the hybrid has gone to yet?

AndrewC

Good question, mine goes on the rollers at Prosport at the end of April.

Andrew...

M0NEY

Keep us updated Andrew

Judge - Are you having a re-map as soon as fitted ? - And are you running the TD04 still ?

Ta,

If your car had an APS FMIC fitted, would it be worth replacing it with a Hybrid FMIC? That's the situation I'm in... have a Hybrid sitting in a box and an APS on the car. Car will hopefully be making 400+ BHP

Harvey!

You have pm again!!

Plz get back to me as soon as possible!!


//Ante

Judge

Hi Mark,yes car will be back on the rollers at Dastek as soon as the FMIC is fitted.

Re the induction kit,I have a panel filter at the moment but apparently this has to go. What induction kit fits once this is done? I am told the K+N kit for the MY99 will not???

AndrewC

K&N 57i fits fine with Hybrid kit on 98/98 and 99/00 cars.

Andrew...

Judge

Mental note to self,read the projects forum before making rash statements

Cheers Andrew

Judge

Mark,yes still on TD04............for now

Ted Ed

Anybody have any awnsers for my questions...

apart from the induction one

Judge, I have a K&N sitting in my bedroom used only to check if gravity is still working.... Want it?

With that sort of volume, anybody care to say what the hybrid is like for lag? I would think it would be a nightmare with the TD04!
