Yeah, it sounds like a bit of over kill. The only reason I could fit the big cooler in mine was because I've got a GTR front on mine.

Give you heaps more space up front.

Decide on what power goals you want, then find a cooler to suit them.

No use getting a 650x300x110 core if your only going to run a little more boost.

Well i am going to get my turbo high flowed to t03/4 spec, n i'm hoping for around 240-50rwkw in the end with turbo, power fc and fuel upgrade. The thing i thought was good about this cooler though was that it is long but not tall therefore it will have a good pressure drop because it isn't traveling verticaly as far and is traveling straighter, plus bar and plate sounds pretty good. The only option i can go is 600*300*90 which works out the same anyway roughly because for the rise in height i lose the length, so doesn't make much difference eh as aposed to 670*245? Most coolers i look at no matter the manufacturer its about 600*300 as the standard cooler core size. In particular to help explain i am looking at the hyperflow s15 cooler and custom fitting it to my skyline, as they have a very neat cooler. check it out at http://www.hyperflow.com.au n check the s15 cooler to see what i mean. L8ters, J.

Power wise not much, I am yet to dyno the beast.

Mods.

PFC with Boost Kit.

Cam sprokets

Dump pipes HKS

550cc Inj

Larger intercooler

47.5mm High flow turbo's with steel shaft.

3.25" exhaust.

Track Mods

3 Core Brass Radiatior

300x200x40 oil cooler

Sump Baffel

Head retrictor

3000lb Brass button clutch

Kevlar Brake pads

Yoka 255 A-Spec tyres.

Im currently running .65 Bar and I want to dyno it up around 1.3 or until I run out of duty Cycle.

Last trackday I only got 1 unhindered lap and my passanger clocked a 1.52 Lap, My brake upgrade should pull me down into the 1.40's.

Blew my apexi up with an electrical fault about 4 weeks ago so I am running the stock computer with the old Inj while it is getting fixed.

Alothough the intercooler is large it not as big in volume as a 4" trust or alike.

760 x 360 x 72 mm = 19700cm3

A large trust would be

600 x 300 x 120 = 21600cm3

So they are about 10% bigger, I went for cooling affect, with a larger surface area. Think about the efficency of a 4" FMIC by the time a the air is trying to cool the last inch of the core.

I know I dont get above 50 Deg inlet temp on a 30+ day at the Creek.

talking about coolers i saw 1 big ass 1 on a supra yesterday at ice performance (1 of the owners just imported it), it was 130mm thick and took up the whole front end of the car, but it was runnin twin t66's and all the other goodies, it pulled 300rwkw at 1 bar untuned, they r putin in a motec system and winding up boost to close to 2 bar for well over 400rwkw!! Then i understood y it had such a big ass cooler on the front! :P

If you get around 600x300x75 you'll be fine EVEN with the stock turbo, some people will have you believe that your turbo can't flow enough air through this intercooler and that you'd be better off with a small one, even the stock one (yeah) but the fact is that my car made more power with this intercooler than with the stockie, so if things aren't flowing properly how come I'm making more power? You can't have one without the other I say.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
