  • 240 740 760 small radiator 940 drop in Intercooler Interest / group buy

Hello All.

I've managed to get in contact with a Chinese supplier who already makes 740/940 drop in intercoolers with correct shaped end tanks etc. I have to have a minimum order of 10 units however and I'll be posting on here and on Turbobricks. I would receive the intercoolers than pass them on.

Standard Size except for the 60mm thickness core, which is a bit more than double stock thickness...

We will be looking at around 150-160 each unit with delivery...

So I'll update with info, I'd like to keep this on topic so if people want to contact me by Pm or my mobile which is. Post in here with interest too.

Edit again:

I am able to get a sample run as it's the same amount of work for them to make 1 or 50 to setup. Price per unit is $95USD.

I've received images of a completed unit and have the final quote for the first batch!





Upgrade?

Pics?

Proposed price per unit?
I don't have enough information for it past the initial knowledge they exist. I'm working on it right now to get a sample unit, But while I have some time I'm going to get onto advertising it.

I'm going to say the price will be around $160 with delivery but the unit price is not quite that amount. But I don't want to promise anything yet.
Well worth proceeding with some caution on aluminium stuff such as radiators and intercoolers from china.
It can be quite hit-and-miss.
I have seen some reasonable ones and some ordinary ones.
If they're prepared to ship you a sample unit for free or at a bulk-purchase price for evaluation, its probably worth the gamble.
Every other intercooler comes from China. So I don't see why these would be an issue. They make lots more intercoolers for more general makes and models too. I can get the sample run for just one or 50 for thier same lead in time so I wouldn't want to waste thier lead in time but I may need too. And of course my testinh etc.
More importantly the sample run will be the cheapest one I'm going to offer and the second run will cost a bit more as I will be receiving the units and packing them etc for a limited market.
I don't mind helping out on testing if I could get it for dirt cheap lol and can I actually get it in Black ?
On a similar topic, any chance of a cheap Aluminum Radiator ? If your planning on making one, make it without the Trans cooler bit, coz anyone upgrading to a Aluminum Rad either have Manual Box or a Trans cooler
There already is an aluminum radiator so no real point. I can paint it black if you want but there is little point for its stock position that it's fitted in. As said in the original post, it will $95usd for the sample run not including postage.
If they're decent quality I'll take one.
Wrong wheel drive for me... bugger.
Cool, I've not got back to them, so shall I order 3 units, one for myself and then I'll have to order a batch of 10.
I'm a definite for 1, will check quality before going again.

I'm going to need one, stock ic is there for show it'd seem
Cool. Im going to get onto ordering tonight. I shall send pms.
Seems like a lot of people want one, i think 10 for the first batch ? lol
What's happening with these? Heatsoak sucks balls
I will make time to confirm about ordering. It will take 25 days apparently from ordering though.
2nd gear low speed skids = heatsoak enough to start pinging

How much of a horse power increase is there with one of them?
The post difference would be noticable when driving the car hard on your car Darcy. On a modified turbo. Ie bigger turbo etc, I could imagine 10kw on a Dyno as my car makes less boost during daylight than when it's dark and colder. Reducing heatsoak is good for the drag strip too which has lots of idling before actually moving. I will have test numbers once I have them landed and order the second batch.

More intercooler shots. Fitted one to my car as well. Wow. Massive difference, holds 15psi boost at all times compared to the old one which didn't go past 12...




Mmmm should have got one they look great.....
No eta yet. Hopefully within the next 2 months though!
I presume you sold all the first batch? What price?
Yep. Final price was 190usd plus about $30 in average postage cost.
Need version for P80..
yeah, for sure.
P80 one is on eBay sometimes , if Alex gets the place to make drop in replacement with better bar / plate , larger dia core tubes and thicker as the IPD one is that would be good.
I am 60% on the way towards water to air I/C where the battery sits.....,
The company that makes them does offer them yes. But I don't have a vehicle to test it on and so can't promote them till I have a regular run of rwd intercoolers going.
