Not sure if this thread is in the right spot but I have narrowed my intercooler choices down to 3. From what Ive read the NPR is a good choice but I cannot find one. After researching the ebay intercoolers up here Ive come to the conclusion that they are not bad at all. So i have rounded it off to three different styles, but I need your opinion on them all. Engine: L28ET, turbo of choice Holset HY or HX series, Hp goal 400hp+ First off:Same Side intercooler Treadstone, Spearco knock off http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Buick-Grand-National-Nissan-Supra-600-HP-Intercooler_W0QQitemZ140208552084QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140208552084 I like the design but I am split between whether or not the same side design actually benefits because of the less piping. And its smaller than the rest only 20x11x3 with 2.5 in inlets/outlets. Secondly: Same side IC different set up. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/27x11x3-One-Side-FMIC-INTERCOOLER-Mustang-Fox-Body-280Z_W0QQitemZ190192752886QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190192752886&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 I know nothing about this one but looks good. Last but not least old reliable: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FMIC-INTERCOOLER-24X12X4-BAR-PLATE-CIVIC-B20-EP3-DC5_W0QQitemZ170096386180QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item170096386180&_trksid=p3756.m20.l1116 Proven to be good. Cons tight fit requires cutting. And has long piping. Looks very nice tho.

I am currently building a L28ET project hoping to push 400whp. I am very computer savy which is why I have chosen to use megasquirt as my ECU. I just have one question which one will be more suitable for my application. I want my ECU to have fuel management and boost control for sure. What I would like to know is the differences between the newest version on megasquirt I v 3.0 and II v3.0. I have searched and only came up with small difference I want to know the main deal breaking differences. Maybe I just did not use the search function enough and I apologize if you believe I haven't, but I want to be clarified on the subject before purchasing a kit. Thanks in advance.

Thanks yes it did after searching the forums and others I have learned that they have very cheap materials and build quality staying far away from them. Now I'm leaning towards the holsets because of their price. still deciding. Got my full donor 280zxt last week. Pulling the engine soon and will start building. Just wanted to know my turbo options besides the hybrid T3/T4 and T04E

Is this T04E any good Im currently starting a L28Et setup and this is the turbo I would like, but other places quote me well over 600 bucks for a .63 model to push at 400rwhp why is this so cheap? Just curious. Someone who could explain this to me please help thank in advance.

Seems like he just cleaned it up a bit to me. This is what happens when a Z gets into the hands of the wrong kind of collector ( American muscle in his garage). I wonder what he would say if i were to send him a question with that link? lol Just a little rant from a fellow 260z owner.

Is this not the same car ?????? sold for $9,000 its silver its an automatic and it has the same hubcaps and get this it has 19,270miles the Z in the auction has 19,370 hmmm drove it 100miles and now trying to make $30,000 profit GAY BS http://www.classyauto.com/v/used/Datsun+260Z/32433

I wish I could drive mine as a DD but thats what I'm working towards now need a major tune up and rewiring. Luckily I have a DD that I can drive while I save up for the precious Z. It's a 1997 Toyota Corolla CE with only 20,000 miles;oh yea its gonna last me for a while and I get 34 mpg and fill the tank up every 2 weeks. I think thats a sweet deal but its boring as heck to drive.
