which works and looks best on the my05 sti's?

 

The Hyperflow Monster intercooler is part of the ScoobyNet 500+bhp Project Spec C build. They are a very good bit of kit.

Full indepth modification article due to be published (Stage 3 Engine) within the next couple of weeks (I am on page 37 already!!!).

Keep a look out for the announcement and publication.

 

APS DR725 is part of my 500bhp build

Both are great FMIC's and both are perfect for high power applications from what I can tell. It depends on personal choice.

 

what about the perrin front mount?

 

I havent seen anyone running one of these in the UK yet so cant comment on performance, but they do look great.

 

End tanks, and pipe work on the APS are nicer than that of the HF... but thats just being picky. The APS are cast and so very smooth.
Both are top of the list for big power builds.

 

Hyperflow Monster kit has the largest core though.

Not sure which pipework on what Hyperflow you have been looking at, but the APS set-up must be going some to look better than this with the Monster kit!

 

Yep - bigger core on the hyperflow very slightly, but really both of them would do a great job for anyone.

The APS is def better looking though

 

But the hyperflow monster wieghs a friggin ton !! The APS dr725 isn't light as I have it on my car but its still lighter than the hyperflow

 

Hyperflow Monster



APS DR725



Only 9 jubilee clamps on the APS to fail.... 16 on the Hyperflow. Another thing to look at when running big boost.

 

Can't say I had any problems with the APS running 2.2bar boost on a GT30!

 

is that a freudian slip

 

Why do you say that for mate?

 

You have a hyperflow dont you?

I'd be very happy with 2.2 bar - must go quite nicely

 

oh right, sorry. it runs 1.7 bar now which equated to 525/525 on power station rollers. It did run 2.2 for a month or so, with higher results!

 

I have a APS 525 sitting in the garage ready to go on. Must say I'm impressed with quality of it all. Thing I like about APS IC's is that you can have the core in black for that stealth look.

Don't Hyperflow IC's use billet end tanks as oppposed to cast item on the APS?
