I had tubo back exhaust, SAFC2, and 10psi of boost before I installed my hybrid cooler. After the install I had to regap my plugs and get the safc retuned as the car was braking down due to the higher and more efficient air flow. Please note thats without increasing the boost, once tuned it made a huge difference heaps more power and I could not notice the difference in thottle responce. Very worth while mod from my experience but do your exhaust, gap plugs to 0.8, and get a SAFC2 or Power FC first. I made 195rwkw on 10psi not holding boost. I suspect I would be making just over 200rwkw now, its holding 11.5psi to red line, I have installed also a sheilded Pod filter and a cold air feed.

I think what most are trying to get at is the intercooler it self won't actively give you a power increase but by fitting it you will enable the motor to produce the power it's capable of by removing the restrictive, heat soaked and poorly positioned factory unit! An aftermarket unit will

A, generally flow better due to the piping and larger core size/design . . . . and

B, cool better due to sheer size and positioning for max air flow through it

So the combination of a cooler charge and less restriction (less pressure drop) = a cooler slightlty higher pressure charge at the manifold which we all know means a better burn and more power!

And alot more consistant charge temps to boot!

So getting a SAFC or PowerFC is the first thing to get then an FMIC???

Cuz i have the same mods exactly..(HKS Pod, Turbo Back, Stock BOV) n running 10-11 Boost... according to the Stock Boost Gauge.. which is 3/4 way up to Full..

Can u Increase the Boost More once u get a FMIC??

Chirping gears doesn't prove a car is fast. It simply proves you have a very good clutch, hard tyres and slam the gear damn hard.

Chirping gears is stupid, it puts un-necessary strain on gearbox's and will stuff your diff early. :(

Every R33 I've seen run more than std boost picks up power when you drop an fmic on them. Its not much, hardly noticable.

R32's... Well mine didn't.

but it's hektik to chirp on gear change.

I can chirp all 5 wheels (including the spare in the boot) 6th gear on my rb20 powered gts4, down hill, on drag slicks..

i have exhaust, filter, 11 psi boost and a boost gauge that has 7 colours.

oh I forgot to mention I have a fmic...

NO NO NO

Install the fmic FIRST then do a Safc or Pfc.... otherwise you're up for 2 tunes, like me! doh. I had a safc yadayadayada etc, put in an Apexi fmic, too much airflow stuffed up the safc tune, couldnt boot it anymore, needed a retune (although I had a Sitc waiting to be tuned too, so I needed to go on the dyno again anyway)

I should have been more specific like tangles said get your intercooler installed then install you safc or power fc or you will be up for 2 tunes like us. Many have found with the increase of airflow the stock ECU cant handle it and will result on overly rich AFR which causes flat spots hench the recomendation of SAFC or Power FC. Personly I would not run anymore than 11psi

cheers

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
