got one on an s13 and one for my s14. the s13 fit perfect. no complaints. as for the s14; on the intake pipe they weled a tube near the throttle body. they left part of the tube inside the cold pipe. and some of the silicone hose are wrong sizes.

other then that it is great.
i sold the car so if the new owner is on here he can give you more info.

i could get you a greddy kit but cost about 670-80. and is special order. i'm not a business. and this is for local people only cause shipping will be alot.

I bought mines new off of Ebay for $400

Yeah, the intercooler is the $#!+, but the piping leaves something to be desired. The piping is for the SR motor. I got a bunch of bends instead and plumbed my S14 the S13 way. The seller is totally legit and trustworthy, too. He goofed on my order, corrected it and then paid me $100 for my trouble. No worries there mate.

yeah i noticed the bends off the endtanks are quite severe and not so much of a smooth bend than just a 90% angle. shipping is free and he said something bout a free oil catch can also. so i think it might be a good deal. thanks

email me if you want pics of the entire kit on the car.

i'll post pics of the s14 cold i was talking about later tonight.

the catch can that he includes leaks at the bottom. on my second one it did not leak yet. so this depends on your luck. the tube for the catch can is to small for the turbo. you can use this for the valve cover to intake manifold side. even if you get bigger hose you will need to adapters for the hose.

could you guys post pictures of this Hyrid intercooler setup on your specific vehicles?

I mainly want to see the way the intercooler pipings are routed and how they look.
