fmic kit.. costs about $500 from just jap.

side intercooler upgrades are avialable from from ARC I think. but the cooler itself (if you can find one) costs more than a whole FMIC kit from just jap does.

I had a ARC side mount on my old r32 (fluke.. picked it up for $50) and at a lazy 155rwkw it worked fine.

My current R32 has a just jap fmic kit.

it causes no problems and works fine.

you're thinking too much about it.

just remember, an intercoolers role is to simply remove heat from the air that passes through it.. kinda like a heat sink.

$500 and a weekend of your time..

money well spent.

Um, this might seem like a silly question, has anyone put a water spray setup on thier side cooler? I would like to increase the efficiency of the standard core, but dumping water over the left front wheel does not sound like such a good thing for traction...

there are some jap intercooler kits that use the stock pies so you don't need cutting.

ARC makes one.

I think BLITZ also does one.

but price.. even second hand..

up to you I guess.

Here is how JUST JAP intercooler kit looks behind my front bar.. (type M r32 gts4 sedan)

Medium dave - I questioned this.

the fact that you would need to buy a water canister (probably 5L), a pump, decent spray nozzles (not garden sprinkler variety), water lines, some sort of controller to turn it on and off manually or by throttle position or boost sensing, then wiring it all in... Kinda out weighs the tiny if any benefit it will have on the standard interheater.

I even went to the effort of purchasing a jza80 2jsgte twin turbo supra intercooler to fit it in the side there..

but it was too big for the side and too fat for the front (135mm thick).

then there is the R34 side mount option.. NOPE. inlet and outlet are not right.. fits an R33 or stagea (rb25 engined cars) but not R32.

still, it is only a mild upgrade.

long story short.

exhaust air filter and little boost, stock cooler is fine on the street and occasionaly drag strip.

circuit work, it's useless.

if you want to go further with mods, a fmic is a decent upgrade.

I have used an R34GTT SMIC on an R32GTST by cutting and rewelding the inlet pipe. Made a nice 215 rwkw and went quite well in Targa style events. Which is more testing than normal road work. Would also probably be OK for hillclimbs and supersprints.

:laugh: cheers :D

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
