azZdriver Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 what intercooler should i use for my 280zxt? is there anything decent that i might be able to score cheap at a junk yard? not interested in a $1k kit. i'm only aiming for around 260 hp for a nice cruising car at around 15 psi??

hughdogz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This should be good for 150 HP, so you would need two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For junkyard intercoolers, theres always the starion one, but i'd recommend getting one off ebay. Some decent stuff for under $200. While your on ebay, order yourself some piping.

jeffer949 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 yeah i have the starion one and while it works im going to upgrade... wanna buy mine??? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azZdriver Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 yeah i'm not sure if i'm up to the task of running the pipe, i was thinking about possibly having a shop do that for me. just wanted to know what others thought might work for me. thanks guys, i'll keep looking on ebay.

hughdogz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 thanks dog... Just messin' with ya! This is probably already covered in the Turbo FAQ sticky but I'll give you my opinoin here. Most of the IC's from the J-Y's are too small. For example I've heard the Volvo, Starion, etc. IC's are too small for the 2.8L. Once exception might be the Porsche 944 IC but still it is still pretty small. If you can get a hold of an Isuzu NPR IC (either a large or small unit) you should be fine. Also on Ebay, you can buy a decent Chinese knockoff for ~$150 so why even mess with a used IC unless it is from a big diesel engine? Just my $0.02. good luck!

TrumpetRhapsody Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've wondered myself if something like this would be worth a try. It looks like the same shape and design as ones i've seen others use, but is quite cheap. Hmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azZdriver Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 hey sorry, i didn't realize there was a turbo FAQ, i'll be sure and check it out before posting any further... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgary280ZT Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Check this out http://www.cxracing.com/. I bought my IC and BOV from Kevin, good prices and services. Highly recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azZdriver Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 yeah, i think i'll go with that one from arizonazcar.com, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 The AZC one is a ripoff. I am sure it is the same core you can buy on ebay for 150 or so shipped. I have one. Its not a bad I/C but the AZC price is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
