I could do 10 intercoolers for 370 including each delivery and 20 intercoolers 340 each including delivery



I don’t have 10 in stock but they are freely available at my suppliers, shipping time is 2-3 days to me maximum.



Would prefer Paypal if the group buy goes ahead but could also accept cheques and most major credit cards.



Best regards


Scott

Ps can you send me on the link so i can get one of these intercoolers you are on about, if they are the same quality i will get one for my 1995 WRX?

R19KET

He's not accusing you of lying. I think you'll find that Sticky Micky is saying it's not a good price, because the same thing is on ebay for much less.


Mark.

StickyMicky

£235 starting bid plus p+p (£54 6-8 weeks or £91 1-3 days) from Hong Kong, not a lot of difference in the end and i think i would rather buy from the UK supplier rather than HK just in case there is something wrong.

StickyMicky

anything you say mate............

Now THAT'S a good price, even if the kit weren't a perfect fit!

SCOOBYD00

Yup.. waiting for mine. I'm with sticky on the price.. I was close to the flat 4 option untill I stumbled across the £225 option.

sorry to butt in but im keeping an eye on these aswell. Just wandered if anyone could enlighten me as to why there is such a vast difference in cost of fmic's. Lateral's will set you back 1500 pace 1200 aps 1000 etc. Whats the difference? Why pay all that money when you can get one for a few hundred quid?onder2:

Marks kit can only be described as SHEER QUALITY! comes complete with Alloy Radiator and fans (AFAIK?), need no cutting of the bumper and requires the Inlet to be turned round. Only downside is that Aircon cannot be fitted with this kit due to I/C output fitting location

Pace one comes with Fans as well, needs no cutting of the bumper but hasn't really performed as the price tag would suggest!

APS is Good Quality and most of its cost was bought out by the large amount of R&D to make it as good as it is. Need serious cutting of the bumper. I had one on my old MY97 (360bhp in 2003 when this way major (ish!) power).

Hybrid is just a copy of another type of FMIC but has great ratings amongst its users (BHP Developments is building a 450bhp Pulsar using this and its never got above 5 degrees over ambient even at that power!) .

If you have the money and are looking for serious power, go for Laterals Kit! I highly recommend it!

If your on a budget (as most are!) try out the Hybrid kit or one of the Ebay ones!

Russell

ps - I have fitted about 5 FMIC's of varying types to Scoobs in and around Aberdeen and have loads of advice (and cheap labour costs) for anyone needing a professionally fitted FMIC to their Scoob in Aberdeen. Just ask any of my customers to testify to my high standards of perfection. That will say more that I'll ever have to

Has anyone ordered from torque is cheap and recieved the stuff as i ordered off a company called op performace they are in banzai magazine and never got intercooler and had to contact paypal who could only get me £80 of the £300 i paid from their account before closing it, they ripped me off for £220 saying they would give me my money back which 2 months on and they didnt have stopped contacting me now and wont answer any mails.

They have changed there name to studleywonderbollox, so beware if you on ebay.

AlanG

Sorry Russell, but it can be used without turning round the inlet manifold and even though the car in this pic hasn't got aircon, the pipework takes a similar route as the Hyperflow?

The kit is more expensive cause it includes a replacement alloy radiator and two fans as well. Quality, as Russell says is first class and has so far been very reliable in my install.

I have some contact details for what was Officially Pimped in Warrington. E-mail me if required.
Several people had mega problems and non supply of goods, after taking the money is a CID matter to me when no refund has been made. Obtaining by deception.
Take care. There are some cheap copies about, inferior cores, poorly fitting/non fitting and polished mild steel hard pipe kits. These obviously rust outside and lookhideous but the rust is on the inside too and rust going through an engine and turbo is a bad thing.

M0NEY

Well said Harvey.

Wuz ive got some Marks kit and not reversed inlet.

Had 5 FMICs now (including the £225) one. THis included the cheap one, Lateral one, Blitz, Greddy and HKS. I prefered the HKS out of them all.

Havent tried Hybrid but heard good reviews back from everyone

The Fixer

After fitting several different types of these cheap so called "quality Intercoolers" there is only two I'd use on an impreza, the Lateral FMIC kit for a classic and the APS unti for a new age car. The likes of the Ebay specials, hybrid etc are all cheap for a reason and certainly relect that either in how they fit or the quality of the item.

Remember the old saying???

You get what you pay for!

Conrad

StickyMicky

its always a risk you have to take on ebay im afraid, this bloke has good feedback, non of it is for FMIC tho, i belive he has just started doing these as a test, this is because it seams like he normally does much cheaper stuff

anyway, im in a position where i can afford to lose £225, so i took the risk

scoobboy

iTrader: (3)

Can anyone tell me if they recieved their cheap intercooler for £225 and give me a link on email for them as need to get one?

CHOD STi

gosh after reading this i would be in two mind whether to save and get the more expensive kit or go 4 the cheaper version. I must say tho...... you get what u pay for is sumat iv always said, unless of course ur gettin ripped off! haha

John Stevenson

Anyone received theirs yet ?

---john---

iTrader: (48)

Conrad:Nothing wrong with the fit of the Hybrid if you know what you are doing. Ask anybody that has had a fitment from me if it is neat and tidy. BTW, I assume that you are aware that the install you did for Julian had to be redone.

MAFFA

Take a look here:

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=456372

Finished fitting mine and yes there's a bit of angle grinding and bumper cutting but not that much. For £225 delivered i'm not gonna complain

I have recieved my Hybrid in 2 days from Hong Kong. No duty charged.

Be aware that there are 2 versions - 'bar and plate' - basic version and 'GTi spec' which is the high flow version.

I got a 'second' (couple of very tiny marks on the fins - easy fixed with a toothpick) GTi version for £180 + £40 delivered via eBay. Quality is very good.

Mine should be with me soon,

Nothing wrong with the bar and plate older style intercooler. These were going for around the £500 mark 18months ago and people appear to of had good results with them. I'm sure harvey will confirm this.

MR ebay offered me the second's GT spec one aswell after winning the bid also offered another scoobynetter the same offer. I declined his offer though, would rather have perfect older style than a damaged new one.

Have to say, the price is still blinding for a Hybrid Monster intercooler

MAFFA

can't fault the price fella Getting a full re-map on mine in a weeks time & then onto the rollers a couple of weeks later...i'll let you know how it gets on

MAFFA

richto

When he says damaged or second he is being incredibly pedantic. I had about 3 tiny dents on the fins. Couldnt even notice them without looking for them, but took all of a minute to make them like new with a toothpick and a pair of fine snipe nose pliers.

Gas flow difference on the GTI spec is up to +40% so its worth the extra cost imo.
