HKS unit is beautiful but too costly for what I would want to do. I would probally go with the horsepower freaks option.


That doesn't appear to be an option anymore.

Is the HKS the only kit that's made to fit our cars? I want something as close to stock as possible so I don't have to relocate a bunch of crap.

yes it would work ;)
If those pipes arent made of aluminum then I dont see no problems welding a flange onto them ;)

i meant the BOV kit because i dont have anyone near me that can weld

i noticed a decent gain from mine. last summer it would get down around 50-60 degrees at night and then warm up to about 70-80 during the day. when it was night time with the stock intercooler, i could feel the diffrence in temprature. when i installed the HKS unit it felt like it had the same power during the 50-60 degree night during the 70-80 degree day. but i only have the intercooler, didnt get the pipes so i made them custom.

it works ok but i want to replace it with a ebay side to side thats bigger. the HKS unit is only about 2-2.25 inch thick and the core is about the same size. like it was said the benifit is the better design not the size of the core.

There are a few kits made to fit the 7MGTE. Offhand I can think of HKS, GReddy, and Cartech/AMS.

I'm thinking of going 1jz. I might be selling my full HKS intercooler setup that bishop92t posted with a Greddy Type R/S flange. Send me a PM if possibly interested.

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread, but I recently purchased a 2nd hand HKS intercooler as pictured on the first page of this post. I was wondering if someone who is running this intercooler can take a picture of where they mounted the intercooler to. I have pipes ran, and ready to go, just can't figure out where to bolt them to. Thank you in advance.

When you mount it do you have to relocate oil cooler and/or radiator reservoir? The space for the pipes is almost non existent. Unless I have it upside down...
