Parts Shop MAX ~ High Mount Intercooler Kit ~ drift spec ~ coming very soon!

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I guess I have to make some reinforcement in the box to protect that little tab from UPS throwing boxes.

We have not ran BOV's on our cars for years, you just dont need to bleed air off the pipes when modulating the throttle for drifting.

Got my kit mounted up tuesday. Please excuse the wiring in the front, have been chasing and fixing a few problems from the previous owner. Also the jager bottle is from the previous owner too. It will all be cleaned up and bumper put back on as soon as I can find one that isnt cut up for a fmic.

[slideways2004]

i got mine installed also.

PLease reinforce the box. 1 of my tabs were bent also. I got it pretty straight but i would recommend to reinforce the shipping box.

Other than that, its a very nice product. I just ordered the core b/c i'm not running a sr

quote on a s14 with an s13sr... could you guys weld on a hks bov flange? i mostly drift but also like to daily the car in the summer. what would result of not running a bov when doing high speed driving?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Might as well start getting an SR build tab together...

S13 with S13 SR shipped to 17517

Yes just buy the aluminum flange online and have it sent here.
other people will tell you not running a BOV will kill the turbo but I have never seen any evidence of this

if you have a KA-T you just run same hot pipe as s13SR and cold pipe for T25(s13sr) or T28(s14-15sr) whichever you have

thanks for the fast shipping dan!, shipped on the 24th received on the 27th.

kit looks great but ditto on reinforcing the box for those tabs. hotside tab got a makeover.



will be installing soon, very impressed on the quality.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

oh jeez, or maybe we should make those tabs bolt on

Yes, please! Mine had the same issue (thought it was a redesign, lol).

Anyway, for guys thinking about running it on a ka-t setup.

The cold pipe fits fine for the most part. It's not 100% perfect angle & you will have to mode the radiator hose (add a 34mm adapter in between & reclock it) to make it all fit. A slight redesign in the angle/depth of the cold pipe & it would work perfect; however, you can run the sr pipe. Also, not sure what the sr pipe comes w/ originally, but you'll also want to ask for a 5/8" outer diameter bung for cold side like I did. Because of the angle, I also got a 5/8" plastic elbow from the local auto store (not pictured)

You can see what I'm talking about kind of here (don't mind the text, that's for a write-up I made):



For the cold side, since I'm still currently top-mount, I rigged up my own setup. I think the hot side should fit fine though since the ka-t bottom mount setup puts things relatively in the same position as the sr setup.

I also converted to running an odyssey battery since the optima red top no longer fit.

I can't give you a definitive response difference of just the HMIC install since I also changed over to an UR underdrive pulley, but with those 2 mods combined (stock pulley & s15 sidemount), the response is SUPER AWESOME!!!

I also can't give definitive performance pro's/con's in terms of engine coolant temp since I removed the a/c system & relocated the oil cooler slightly for more air. However, w/ my oil cooler relocated, no a/c, tranny cooler, hmic, and koyo radiator, I was seeing 85-87C after several back-to-back runs @ autox. It would cool down to 80-83C while idling. Same time last year, with a/c condenser, oil cooler mounted in a different spot (less air), koyo, and side mount, I was seeing around 88-90C after several autox runs & it wouldn't get below 85C without opening the hood.

I'm hoping to more thoroughly test this @ autox & hpde's over the next few months as the car continues to get some work done on it.

It's a little scary driving the car @ autox going down the straights and even out of the corners compared to the setup before. Didn't feel or see any noticeable pressure drop/lag going from the smaller sidemount to bigger hmic - definite plus.

Thanks for making great products.

i have a 1jz

sorry for the horrible picture, left my camera at home. You're probably wondering about my cut also, I previously had a precision intercooler so that's why so much metal is cut.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

broke as: Thanks for the review.
The 5/8 size is standard.
We sell rad hose adapters for $20
I dont think the pully is noticeable, its all intercooler!
My S15 motor runs hard in the 80's, cools down to the 70's with 60's temps on the street.
Dont forget to retune the ECU after you make changes!

Slideways2004, thats awesome

how much would it be for just the intercooler? no piping

[DC Dan MAX USA]

~~~$250~~~

[winter]

lol jager bottle.



Awesome IC setup! I want one...one of these days! Keep up the solid products, love the support of your aftermarket for the drifting community.

[om3ga]

Making one for an s13 SR with Greddy intake manifold into an S13?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I could but I dont know of any local cars running that manifold - bring me yours.

[sneakerjunkie]

are these kits back in stock yet

[sneakerjunkie]

pm'd you but u havnt responded

[DC Dan MAX USA]

back in stock around the end of april, there is a fresh thread on this too, this one is old, i dont check it

[pressures on]

dan, would this work with a CA? i'm not diggin low fmic's.

price to 83642

[DC Dan MAX USA]

need a car in the shop here to develop for CA18

in the mean time I believe the s14 kit is close... if you want to mod a kit yourself.

[pressures on]

no worries, i'll drive it down from here for you.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

ha ha seriously?

[pressures on]

haha i wish. you can use it as a CA demo car. how does this intercooler flow compared to a v-mount setup. have you seen high temps at all with matt and tommy?

[DC Dan MAX USA]

pretty much the same flow as a vmount, matt is still cool while pushing over 500HP in the KA-T

[pressures on]

word. how much is just the intercooler alone? i can figure out a way to do the pipes.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

$250USD plus shipping, add to cart here http://zilvia.net/f/forced-induction...ng-thread.html if you want to get it. Arrival date is mid July.

[pressures on]

alright cool. i was looking through the thread about it on the pbm site and there was a guy who was going to get it and use the s14 cold pipe for his ca. have you heard anything about that, or the outcome? he stopped posting afterwords.

[DC Dan MAX USA]

I dont know what he came up with either.

[nathanong87]

can i run this high mount kit with a/c? on an s14 (if that matters)
