Your cooler size?

[YBSLO4]

Hey peoples,

Just wondering what size cooler cores they are using with what mod's aswell?

I am about to buy a cooler, and i am just wondering what most guys are running size wise for a front mount?

[rob77]

I've got a trust kit going in, 600x244x76mm... I'll let you know how it goes with the stock turbo and running 0.8bar of boost.

[JH32]

I've got a custom one going in, 550x250x60 or something like that.

Will also tell you how it goes!

Rob: I like the look of your cooler dude

Core size on mine is 700x300x76. Garrett bar and plate core.

Mods are bleed at 12psi, pod with CAI, turbo back 3 inch exhaust.

I have a VR4 cooler in mine...

core dimensions are 400x210x75

flows very well and is very efficient (so I've been told).

[Kichigai]

I have a custom cooler with core size 700x350x76. (Larger than needed at the moment).

Genie dump and front pipes and hi flo cat. HKS Hi Po cat back.

Full engine management system running at 1bar.

Hybrid core 450x300x76 bar & plate.

i got 600 x 300 x 76 hks tube and fin on mine with s-afc, full exhaust, custom dump pipe, intake and 165kw@wheels at 0.5 bar and 183kw@wheels at 0.9 bar

[YBSLO4]

K now that i have read a few of the size cores you guys are running... does 670*245*90 bar and plate sound like it will fit??

[rob77]

Yes, but its quite large... so unless you are going to run a huge turbo, hks gt3037 or something like that it seems an overkill.

[Jay95R33]

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.

I have an ARC stage 2 (I don't know what that means).

But you can clearly see the end tanks and piping in the front bar hole.

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.

Custom 740mm x 360mm x 72mm, just the right size to fit in a GTR grill with no tanks showing.

[YBSLO4]

Farrrrrrrrrrk 740*360 is huge!! What kinda power you pushin?

[Jay95R33]

Yepp, that's it. The core needs to be 700mm wide to fill a GTR front. Looks great too

[OZ GTR35]

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.

[OZ GTR35]

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.

[Guest INASNT]

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!

[turbomad]

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.
