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.....

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
