Guys im thinking to change the intercooler due to a small crash....so... what should i get? I allready have the HKS piping kit (lots of money) and i just want to put a bolt on.
Type S has 65 mm thickness... Type R has 97mm.
I have the IX turbo and im not planing to change it soon.
Im going thowards Type S ... im thinking i wont have lag, will be perfect with the piping kit and ok with hot weather.
So what do you think?

 

You'll be surprised what the Type S can do... I have put 750 WHP through it and it was still fine...it has an excellent core...

For your setup... Will go with the S anytime...

The R is more for higher horsepower setup... I should have gone with an R but it wouldn't h ave fitted in my Evo 6 front...

 

The R type has a I/C piping kit does the S type ??

 

No... but this is the thing , 6 moths ago i bought HKS full intercooler pipes (very expensive) wich fit perfectly with the S type!

 

Hks Type R all the way

 

the bigger the intercooleris, the more pressure drop. you're on stock turbo. get a type-S. I highly suggest you do some research cause there's plenty of good IC out there for way better price. unless you're into the bling bling factor.

 

What fuel quality do they have in Romania these days? Keen to know the Ron+Mon/2 rating given the sensitivity of these cars.

Have a house there but have not been to see it since 1987! LOL

 

Im using 100+ octaron... we also have 98+ and 95+
I dont know if its exactly what they are saying... but it can not be far.


PS. willing to sell the house?
