well im only going for about 220kw

so im sure the GTR intercooler will be ok

the guy told me (who was trying to sell me the package for 2100) said that he GTR cooler wouldnt be any good

but it would have to be better than the standard cooler

where would be a good place that could fit this for me and supply the pipping

On the subject of coolers...all you guys n' gals out there who have FMICs fitted to 32GTT's :

Do you run your return piping (from the cooler) back through the original intake pipe (across the top of the RB20), or do you run it to a forward facing plennum?

I'm wanting a FMIC and I'm trying to work out any additional costs.

Thanks,

Michael

the point we are trying to make here is that running the standard turbo on high boost with the standard intercooler is an in-efficient package where much more gain can be achieved by running a FMIC and at lower boost.

As sydneykid said, the standard turbo has a ceramic turbine wheel which can't hold very much heat for long periods of time, therefore, running the standard turbo in it's in-efficiency range would allow it to push a larger volume of air although at a very high temperature, and given that the factory intercooler is not good enough to cool that hot air, you're not doing the engine a favour.

Also, if u can't hear it ping (even at 20psi), it doesn't mean it's not doing damage. found this out through personal experience.

always make sure there is enough fuel supply and appropriate octane fuel is being used when running hi boost.

You can't run the std turbo on 'high boost' anyway (if by high boost you mean 12+psi).

Keep the stock cooler unless you ugpgrade the turbo or circuit race (I don't think the std turbo will do that for long anyway).

The best intercooler upgrade for the stock turbo is the Trust R-spl core direct factory replacement for about $1k, or an R34GTT one (same dimensions except much thicker). The extra tubing and volume of most fmic's reduce the engine response on the stock turbo.

Ive done some reading on alot of the Japanese kits for the R32 such as Trust, HKS, BLitz etc... All of them make use of the original piping to the front bumper. So they have a length of tube that runs across the length of the core (usually the bottom from what ive seen) to a 90 degree exit end tank.

The good thing about this is that you can pretty much do your intercooler piping for alot less than say Silvia or 180SX owners, with about 1.5 metre of straight pipe and a handfull of bends.

Some aussie kits ive seen (UAS i think) use the stock intake plenum so the pipe goes across the top of the motor, then it goes back across the motor again and down through what i think is just beneath the battery area. This involves much more custom piping. And looks alot less "stock" when cops pop the bonnet.

Personally, im keeping the standard pipes to the front bumper and just extending as required.

Whoa this discussion has certainly changed direction. Lucky for me i have an aftermarket turbo...and i'm running about 12-13psi with the std cooler. Hopefully i'll upgrade the cooler in the next month or so...i know a guy who is selling fmic for R32's for $500, and that's with a PWR core.

who has these intercoolers ?

i have a high flowed r32 RB20det turbo on the said motor running 13psi thru the stock cooler, i find that it just heat soaks and pisses me off... some nites the inlet temp sits at 49deg c

i am lookin for a FMIC.....

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
