i know this has proberly bein posted before but are xs power rs 500,radiator any good or are they a pile of shit!!!

 

I personaly think they are a pile of shite

 

You'll get very mixed opinions on this. I'll start. It's SHIT.

 

Erm






































Complete shit

 

True

the people who will say its great are the people who are tight gits who bought it

 

that car i traded to you paul had an xs turbo on it that was pretty good wernt it

 

 

Got the 500 intercooler on my saph m8 works a treat,you don't need to be a brand whore.

 

should of done a poll really!
mostly shit so far then

 

The 2 terms 'Works' and 'Works a treat' can easily be confused with each other.

95RON fuel 'Works', 99RON fuel 'Works a treat'. See where I am coming from?

Have you any proven results for the Intercooler?

 

i would ask people to only give opinion of what theyve actually bought or seen first hand as most people will say its crap because its cheap and less than half the price of radtec etc. i havnt personally tried there coolers so cant comment.

 

I can. We had their Evo Intercooler and Radiator and went back the standard kit after gathering data and comparisons on both.

 

fair enough then if it was less efficient than standard gear then whats the point

 

thats sorted that one out then!!

 

Made good power on the rollers,never seen temps above 50 degrees in hot weather .

 

and you have tested what hes bought a cossie one so may be ok then.

 

Has been spot on for me anyway,was a perfect fit too.

 

iv always found the coolers and rads perfect on the cossys cant comment on anything else though cos i havnt tried

 

Nonsense.

It's a bar and plate cooler with good welding, good bracketry, and good cores, with proven results on some cars.

How does that make it shit?

What, because it doesn't have a fancy name and a hefty mark-up?

 

Can't help but think ford owners mentalities are becoming more like most skyline owners.

 

does anybody run one ?????

 

Ive ran and dealt with tons of XS Stuff, and its NOT the best on the market, but it doesnt try to be, as its about as good as a lot of stuff that costs 3 times as much, thats for sure.

Mate of mine has a XS GT28RS on his S13, spools up faster and gives more power than the Garrett T28 that was on it before.

EscCosRacer has one of the above on his Renault 5 track car and as ripping past all manor of supercars with no issues on track.

The DJ Craig Supra had a XS GT45 on it which gives more power and spools up faster than the Trust T88 that was on it before it, and it used to run mid10s at 140mph+

The XS Power Supra runs 8.0@170mph with their inlet and exhaust manifolds, chargecooler, etc etc on it.

Plenty of Mustangs etc in the states running 10s with their twin turbo kit.

Know plenty of people who have changed their HKS manifolds which were always cracking for an XS one, and had no more, and often less, cracking issues.

Countless 200SXs, Skylines, Supras, etc, across the country running their front mount intercooler kits, exhaust manfolds, dumpvalves, wastegates, etc.

Like I said, its NOT the best stuff in the world, some stuff (like their Cossie manifolds, Evo intercoolers, etc) are pointless as the stock stuff is SO good anyhow, but overall, its mint stuff for the money.

If your not a blinkered badge snob, or just so minted that paying 5 times the price dont matter to you.

 

i gotta agree on there turbos very good maybe not last quite as long as a genuine garrett t35 but perform just the same and for 1/4 the price or may even last longer than a garrett i wouldnt know havnt tried new for new

 

About to fit one of there manifolds to my 200 with extra bracing and a quick check of the ports, can't complain for the money £100 . Don't think I would personally trust the turbo's but thats just my opinion.

 

People just slag it off because it's cheap.

I remember everyone on the 200SX owners club was slagging off XS power/Motoria exhausts, saying they are shit, bad quality, buy one from Apex Performance as they look similar but are better quality, sound nicer, etc. It turned out, that the Apex Performance ones were the exact same systems and they guy from XS power was his supplier. (or they had the same supplier in China)

Shows what a bunch of sheep they are.

There stuff can be a bit hit and miss, some manifolds do fit, some don't without a bit of modification. The stuff is cheap enough that most times it's worth the gamble IMO.

 

i have an XS GT45 and a xs manifold on a M5 3.6 lump... i bought a full kit from them..

i fitted it DIY style and then it went for a good set up....

it has made excelent power for over a year now... and shows no signs of giving up yet ...i hope..

and it was a very good price, cant fault it as yet.. oh and it funs an xs intercooler 50mm core...

 

Richard

how come these days everyone talks shit apart from you ????

Have you ever used this shit stuff

Good welding you have never seen good welding then

the fooking stuff adds half a ton to the car alone

Im not a BRAND MAN , but i di like quality stuff ,,and this isnt quality , its budget

 

What other intercoolers would you stay away from then as im looking to buy a cooler for my 4x4 saph ?
