Hey i want to put a 600x300 front mount on my skyline i have a r33 ser 1.5 just wondering what intercooler kit i need cuz ive looked at some and i just cant see where the piping will go. In the pictures on the intake side of the cooler the pipe comes from the left up past the fan and then into the original cooler pipe, but in mine theres no possible place i can see for that to happen unless u need to cut something out. The only other thing i can think of is that i need a piping kit that raplaces the original as in follows down the right hand side where the original piping runs and then the intake pipe goes arround the back of the cooler into the intake side of the intercool. Can someone please help me out.

show me pics of piping kit

ok i have just dont this and well worth the effort if u take the front bar off put it on the bench and u will find the cooler should sit nicely inside it with a little trimming then i ran a piece of bar across from bumper iron to bumper iron then hung it off there.get it as far foward as possable then u wont get hooked up in the ac fan and u may have 2 turn your horns around as well.i took my windscreen washed bottle our from the drivers side and ran my piping up through a new hole i made when the washer sat.if u plan well u can reinstall the washed on a different angle. if u make the piping yourself u will b able 2 use a lot of the old piping but play and u will see what i mean. i think it is also worth the effort to rum your piping from the turbo across the top of the fan then bring the cold air the short way home up through one of your old intercooler holes. it amazes me when i see so many with a pob filter under the bonnet after fitting a frontmount cos there is a spare hole now on the left and i opened it slightly an ran a 3" bend fight off the turbo inlet rubber through the hole and put my pod where my old cooler used 2 sit .and no shit u will get a good hp gain with out changing anything else .my new cooled had strait outlet piping not sure if yours does well good luck and hope it helps

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
