Hi all..

I'm currently trying to fit a front mount intercooler to my R33 with the standard series 1 front bar. I'm getting there but I think I'm going to have to take the thermo fan out to fit it in...

Does anybody know how much these things kick in and will my engine run cool enough without it?

I think it should be ok but just want to see if anybody has taken theirs off??

Thanks...

Bugger... looks like I may have to invest in another front bar.... unless anyone thinks it's possible to fit the intercooler as is??

get an aftermarket slimline thermo? i thought that was a common thing to do to fit coolers?

I've fitted a FMIC behind my standard series 1 front bar with out having to buy a new fan. Just needed to shave a little bit off the back of the fan to get it to fit.

That's all good mate but how big was your intercooler? mines huge and I've looked at it and can't see how I can fit this thing!!!!

Is it possible to cut the steel part where the front bar goes....? across the front? Or is that a load bearing part of the car...?

Thats means it is probably too big dude.

The bigger the cooler, the more un-responsive the car will be in a street application

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
