Max Boost For Std Cooler R32.

[Guest INASNT]

yep till about 300rwkw without much of a sweat

[XXE-R32]

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

[Guest Juiced32]

my turbo is still fine its even been up to 20psi in 5 gear

[Guest INASNT]

20psi, LOL!

y not run it at about 30psi then u will be able to pull a low 10 for sure down the 1/4.

[Guest Juiced32]

i drive my car like i hate it thats what there made for. f#*k it.

[Guest INASNT]

*note to self - never let juiced32 EVER borrow your car*

[Guest Juiced32]

lol! i take it easy trust me.

(besides taking the hose off the turbo)

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.

[Skyrine-Dave]

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.....

[46n2]

Thanks Red17

[MM2death]

Dave, i'll see if i can get his number for you. He's on the coast

[sLo-32]

Death....could i grab that number off ya aswell?

cheers

my r32 made 148 rwkw in the vic dyno day with the stock cooler running a very conservative 11.8 a/f ratio and 13 psi my car has an r33 turbo I had a front mount fitted to the car but when I removed it I found no major loss of power at all.

[meggala]

also I fitted the cooler to my cefiro it is the return type whihc is fine up to say 400 hp.
