i found a good deal on a set stock of intercoolers off of nissan 300zx for a twin turbo set up. i was wondering if any knew if they would support bigger hp on a L29 big block in my truck. trying to go cheap where i can

not sure how much youre going to pay for those, and guessing from the size of a 300zx motor compared to anything big block, you can do better for your $$. you can get some nice intercoolers off ebay for dirt *** cheap brand new. Looked at cxracing on the 'bay, if thats too much money then id say save an extra $100 until you can finish the build! good luck!

i was looking at new but i found those used and they looked clean. cbr600rx7 how well this in intercooler constructed? I need something that will be reliable so i may drive the truck most everyday.

Thanks, guys for the ideas

To be truthfull its hard to tell the diffrence from a $1000 intercooler and a $200 one. If you look at my build thread there is a picture on mine on there. On this forum there are a few other guys also running them and no one has had any issues that i have heard of.

i have a fully build 300z twin turbo and if you are making anything over 400 those intercoolers WILL NOT WORK...For one they are like our radiator aluminum with plastic end tanks...UGHHH for intercoolers. On low boost of 16lbs my 300 is making 540rwhp so of course the stock intercoolers got ditched long ago. The cores in the stock coolers are only like 1.5 inches where my new big side mounts are 4" cores all aluminum and tig welded....if you really wanted them i would let you have my old stock cores but i wouldnt cool a turbo for a motorcycle with them personally..
