Hey, was down at Autobarn today (went to the one in hoppers crossing which now has 2 autobarns opposite one another on the same road!! someone is making way too much money ) Well autobarn was selling intercoolers to suit VLT's. Laughing i was but also intesrested in what the man had to say about it. For $1800 i could purchase a Blitz intercooler with all silicone hoses and alloy plumbing supplied with brackets and hose clamps. Dimension of CORE ONLY was 68mm x 610mm x 266mm, WITHOUT END TANKS. To liven up the afternoon i ask the guy can u fit it though, he says sure for an extra cost one of fellas out back who installs the stereos will do it for ya right here The man was also quick to point out that "this intercooler is able to punch out 650hp" and it sells like "hot cakes" to r 33 owners. well i was dumbfounded upon leaving the store i knew that they sell alot of turbo timers and what not but a BLITZ brand intercooler installed from autobarn for 2 grand just took the cake !!! For all your turbo needs see autobarn Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

blitz coolers are actually very expensive , wether or not autobarn has genuine blitz equpment is a different story , be prepared to pay easy 2k for a blitz kit from jappoland.

You pay for bolt on price.... the blitz cooler should be easy to install yourself as long as you can take off the front bar etc... They do have some interesting goodies, for the performance minded... its a change from all the neon crap, but at least its a start of future things to come? More business, more products, more competition for the workshops, hence cheaper prices for the comsumer.... what are you guys complaining about?

Toby out at Autobahn Virginia is a good bloke - can order in just about anything, and match prices found on the net. Talking about Blitz coolers, mate of mine bought one of these from autobahn for his 200sx - the $1800 kit all included. Fitted it himself, and is a decent bit of kit.
