HKS intercooler on ebay?

I wonder if there is a ebay version of the V-mount HKS intercooler?

Photo Details

Or is there any better setups for V-mount? Im looking to build my own setup.

There is no ebay version.

By build your own setup do you mean you can do custom fab work yourself?

Take some measurements and get a core made. Both Bell and Spearco make custom size cores I believe. If you really want to replicate it nicely it's going to take some money.

I think i will go with the godspeed v-mount intercooler and do custom piping instead!

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Its not cost effective if after a few months you end up having to replace it was a quality parts anyway. I learned this the hard way in high school when I build my first turbo car. I ended up paying more to replace all the cheap crap a second time after it failed.

i dont always agree with the above statement ..
I actually have the hks vmount which has cost me an arm and a leg and the fitment is to say the least terrible.. yes everything aligns just fine but fitting the radiator with the fans and the condenser etc is a huge PITA

do not go for the hks vmount kit.. From what i hear Greddy fits much better and its better engineered

yep greddy fits like a freaking glove. Not to mention it comes with a gorgeous rad and you don't have to reuse the stocker. Thats the first i've heard about the HKS being a PITA. Im sure it's high quality and everything, just gets pretty tight in the engine bay with all that stuff.

If you're going with a godspeed v mount, check out defined autoworks site. They have a v-mount kit that uses that IC for pretty cheap.

That way you won't even need to "wield"

Intercoolers

Tread stone is a really nice company. Their inter cooler cores are great quality. Some of their end tanks even have splitters to distribute the air evenly however I do not know if they have one for a V-mount setup. However they do supply to people who can fabricate, if you can weld or know someone who can then this might be a good option for you.

I checked the greddy one and its pretty expensive..

I found a core simillar to the greddy one. Does anyone have experience with the rotary works intercooler?

You can get piping kits from cx racing and fab up a pipe yourself. Probably need 1 weld but a shop should do that for you around 20 or 30 bucks. Cxracing and rotary works are the same company I believe.
