While browsing the net for information about skylines and so forth i came across this design of intercooler piping which looked ideal.

A few questions regarding this however.

The piping blocks off the oil breather from the intake manifold and also the middle breathers. I think the middle breathers would be fine as i think i would be able to fit rubber hosing under the middle one (barely) however im worried about the affects of blocking the one from the intake manifold.

There is also a pipe that comes into the back of the intercooler piping, what is this for?

Any comments re this would be great as i think this could be a great way to cut out probably near on a meter of intercooler piping.

* Thanks to whoever initially posted this pic

It's more common than you think! I think the Gibson motorsport cars had it and thats how I'm going to do mine!

I've been told that it cuts out up to 5L of intake air which should have a fairly significant drop in lag.

There is nothing wrong with the way you have it as long as the shorter pipe is the pipe exiting the cooler to the throttle body. I would leave it rather than going to this setup.

excellent im doing mine next weekend and after a few ideas currently have piping running behind the fmic to the standard pipe spots. but i like this idea better where did you guys plumb the bov in.
does anyone have any further pictures of the top of the rocker cover and also looking down on the radiator to see where the piping goes

The pipework goes though the inner guard in the basically the same position as the standard GTR pipework

:) cheers :P

i would rather go from the turbo around the front of the engine then into the cooler that way you only have 1x90 AND 2X45 bends going out the other side up and straight across the engine straight into the throttle body.

I have an R32 GTS-T and have fitted up an R33 GTR cooler and this is exactly what I want to have on my car! Do you think it would be better to "cut and weld" up the pipe wok myself or get someone to mendral bend some pipes up?

That group buy link would be handy SK! can't find it

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
