FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

Seems to just be an odd design feature on the HKS from what I can see looking at a couple of pictures online.

Yay, another intercooler option! Expect to see a GReddy intercooler (and radiator) in 2026. Note that the quality appears to be a little dodgy, but keep in mind these are prototypes. I expect the finished products to be of higher quality.

I am not a fan of those end tanks. But. Yeah. That’s a beta project. Hopefully they get casted or get the billet treatment.

Btw. About 10 years ago. There was this comic book. Superman unchained. The art was done by Jim Lee. And the covers were just amazing.

all of us here were talking and we’d like U to maybe google some of those covers and change the profile pic to one of those dope ones

Heh, I'm long overdue for a refresh. Done!

Nice, glad that Plazmaman added the FL5 to their products. I've usually seen their parts being ran in GTRs, EVOs, and Supras.

So would the PRL charge pipes work with the other brand intercoolers? I’m guessing all except HKS?

 

[TypeRVA]

They should since they work the stock intercooler and most intercoolers line up with the stock pipes.

Perfect. I got them for a good price. So I wanted to make sure. Now I’m just debating on which inter to get. Leaning towards the pwr.

yes they will work. On the HKS I have had customers shave down the hot side to make it fit and it sees to work no issue.

They will work, might need a bit of persuasion but they will work. HPS charge pipes are another option, they were also designed to be used on the stock intercooler

I kina figure that but wanted to make sure! I’m collecting parts for the car lol and doing a big install.

@SBX Performance so the newest PRL inter is as good as the HKS and PWR

I don’t really say what’s best just try to give you info to make educated decision. PRL has always been reliable and great for most builds. HKS you pay for the name and PWR is too expensive if all you’re going to do is be on the street with it. Serious track setups yes PWR. If I was you I would wait till early March MDR is releasing a t&f. See what that looks like
