Upgrading R33 Gtst Smic

[mr_r33gtst]

Hi, will soon be upgrading to a r34gtt stock mount. I was wondering if there are any modifications to make it fit, or is it a strait fit?

And to get to the r33 stock mount, can it be done by removing the wheel guard, or does the front bar have to come off?

And with the r34gtt cooler on the r33, is there a notible difference while running a bit more boost, such as 10psi?

will appreciate any helpful replies

Thanks,

Just have to remove the wheel guard. It is a straight bolt on.

Straight bolt up. No mods required.

Make sure you have the r34 duct too. To install the duct, the front bar has to come off. This requires a trim to get the bar back on. You'll know what I mean.

No noticeable increase in power.

I installed R34 Cooler on mine,

with the front bar off very easy to do,

since the front bar on have 4 bolts holding it, very easy taking it off.

its really a bolt on job.

performance wise, no idea, only when u increase boost!

Defeats the purpose of having a 34 cooler. the 33 duct is shorter(33IC is shorter), therfore you won't have air flowing trhough the whole cooler.

These ducts really are a gem.

Must be some air duct to run from the stock hole in the bar to the cooler.

When I put my R34 cooler in, the bottom of it sat much lower than the stock R33 one. So much so that it's pushing the lower shroud down and creating another airduct under the bar!

I don't know how much difference that would make, but to theorise on your other question about performance, the R34 cooler has bigger in and out pipes on it, and the core is thicker. In theory I beleive this means you could push more flow through it. Dunno if 10psi makes any difference, i'm still running 7.

Considering the R34GTT's are 206kw stock, i'd say that this cooler would be good for at least that. I'd also guess that your intake temps might be *slightly* lower under load due to the increased surface area of the taller and thicker core.

I'm going to mount a JayCar temp probe in my intake somewhere and monitor the temps. If it all seems good, then i'll run it up to 10psi.

End pipes are not bigger. They are the same size.

The core is taller.

Core is also thicker.

Same width.

Theoretically, it will reduce restriction. When I was running 12psi, the gain after installing the cooler wasn't noticeable.

supposedly, you need about 10rwkw before you notice it.

Perhaps it might have got an extra 5 rwkw and a bit more response.
