Hi guys, I am able to get an OK size intercooler for a good price however im a bit unsure of the size of intercooler that would be a good fit for my S13 and be able to cope with even bigger future upgrades, at the moment im stock CA18DET with T25, i will be fitting a garrett S14 T28 soon with a FMIC, however im unsure of what size i need, i would ideally like to fit an intercooler that will be big enough for future upgrades say for example i work my motor for a big turbo such as a GT30. I actually am able to get this intercooler for under R600:
What do you guys think and howmuch would an intercooler this size go for new? I see motorcade sells the slightly bigger ones starting at R1200

Bud, intercoolers are like dicks. You can never have too big a one.
This is tiny.and its chinky.Dump it and try for the largest GOOD quality cooler you can fit.
I would rather fit a BMW diesel cooler before this one.Two BMW coolers together would be pretty good.

Lmao, yea i get what you saying BigKriss, i think for now im goin to buy it and fit it because its affordable and for my T28 im sure itl be big enough and when i upgrade further il get the good intercooler one time. Im sure il be able to make my money back for it, theres people on gumtree selling them for much much more.
