few questions about the cooler.

1) how much power is it rated up to....im hoping for 280-300rwkw....someday:)

2)is there a nipple on the return pipe for my hose back to the solenoid?

3)does this pipe enable me to create a cold air feed for my pod using the stock cooler piping hole?

4)how hard is it to install these as opposed to the hybrid kits and so forth, any fan blade trimming involved?

5)why would anyone go for the r-spl over this kit?

and lastly, and most importantly, what experiences have you had with them, ie seat of pants, performance wise.....

thanks to all that reply back to me

cheers,

ok im no expert but i got the V-spl fitted a few months ago.

Q3) yes, there is a nice handy hole left there to put a cold air feed through.

Q4)These kits are very easy to install. easier than the hybrids as there is no trimming involed at all.

Also i didnt notice a huge increase in power. But i had just got a new exhaust put on and was stil getting used to that. i didnt pre/post dyno or anything. They are an extremelly well made unit though.

There's no nipple on the return pipe for your solenoid. I thought it was pretty straight forward to install, but I had to trim the back of the fan a little, as well as shave a little bit off the back of each of the front indicators. Also had to slightly cut the front reinforcement bar, but nothing major. My car is a S1 R33 by the way.

"The internet? Is that thing still around?"

i installed my v-spl and i had to trim a few things like the casing of the aircon fan, had to trim my front bumper to fit the cooler and the pipes, also had to make a hole under the water bottle for the return pipe from intercooler to throttle body was a simple install.

BUT for the hose for the soloniod i had to get a nipple welded on though but greddy supplies a pipe to intersect to another line.

shouldnt have any trouble it explains everything on the instruction booklet

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
