ive been loooking for a while and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to which brand and which kit i should get before i just order a godspeed from ebay, there arent any companies that make a kit specificlly for the rb swapped cars. right now i have an old xs intercooler but it dos fit right and is really beat up. i have a silvia conversion if it maters. any suggeston will be appreciated tanks

i have the godspeed radiator, and its good quality, and i know lots of people have had good experiences with them. i'm betting some bad too though.

Your best bet if you don't want to spend a lot of money is buy a cxracing intercooler and a piping kit on ebay. Cut the bends to length and use the couplers and clamps provided and bingo, theres your kit.

Edit:

This is the one i used:

im prb gonna have to just do that, it would be sweet if some one made a clean kit specifically for rb swapped s chassis with a good core, i know not all people run stock turbos but it wouldnt be to hard to modify the hot pipe. im sure if you have an after market intake mani. you alread have the situation covered

I'm working on a kit, for both manifold setups... Greddy manifold piping kits should be done in a month.

Im using a mini battery i got from summit racing xs power makes it i believe. Dont let the size fool you , that battery does 330cca at 0* F. You can see a pic of it in my sig.

And yes they still have the intercooler kits. This is the exact one i have.

if the kits your making are ready by the time ive saved enough coin to put the car in the body shop and get a rental, i will get one. i have another s13 silvia aero front bumper cover in much better condition then my current one and im trying to keep the stock metal/foam bumper inside it without cutting the bumper cover up too much to fit the huge intercooler i have now, which is what was done to make it fit currently. at the same time i dont want to sacrifice alot of performance by getting a much smaller i/c, that will fit in the confined space behind the bumper and inbetween the headlight brackets. i need to just get a fresh intercooler and tell my bodyshop to make it function and fit with out destroying the $$bumper$$ hopefully they can do it.
