hi all

im working on a buget and id like to get a fmic for my new R32 GTS-t. ive found a GTR cooler core for $270 and they seem to be selling for around $300. And i can make all the piping myself so i also need to factor in the price of piping and silicon hoses.

So if i could buy a core and make the piping for $500 would i have a better system than buying a cheap kit for the same money.

some people say that the GTR core will flow better than most cheap cores and others say it not worth while as they wont flow well enough.

any help would be grately appreciated.

there is a full kit for a r32 hose piping Just jap core for $399.....well worth buying, but if you can make the pipes and get the hose joints cheap, go the GTR cooler......but you won't save much in the long run.....only time with the $399.

my 2 cents!

Who ever did the work on my Ceffy decided a GTR core was up to the task of cooling compressed air from a HKS TO4e kit. Once I get my cams in and final tune for higher boost I'll be looking at 280+rwkw through that baby :D

Definatly a wise choice over the chinese shit IMO.. Research piping diameters before and after the cooler though for reduced lag.

thanks for all the help. from what i have researched in the past a decent core is important as crap cores will drop boost pressure and be less efficiant at cooling. even thoe a GTR cooler is a factory item it would have been engenired to a high standard. if you can buy a cooler and piping for $500 how much R and D would have gone into it.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
