Just Jap Cooling Pro Type 1 Intercooler

[stingray]

Hi,

Anyone installed one of these kits before on an R32? Is there a difference between the R33 and R32 kits? Because the piping I recieved looks identical to the R33 kit shown on there webpage http://www.justjap.com/forumcoolerkitspecial.htm

I'm only asking this because the piping doesn't lign up. On the passenger side, the existing two holes for the factory cooler I had to cut out so the pipe would lign up with the intake side of the intercooler.

Now the main problem I face is the new hole I need to cut directly under the battery. I trial fitted the pipe to measure up where I need to cut this hole and it seems way too far back towards the wheel arch. I cannot cut there because there are aircon pipes and wires on the otherside.

I've got a feeling that I might have recieved the wrong piping kit because the R32 kit on there webpage has a different piping design.

Attached is a picture of the factory intercooler holes that I cut out to make one long one. Was this needed by anyone installing this kit?

I've just taken a second look and now I realised the piping does line up to for the new hole under the battery. However I still don't know how to mount the bracket of the cross overpipe onto the engine.

Mate do a yahoo search for 'Hybris intercooler install" and that will give u the pdf instuction guide with pics. your kit is the same its just a hybrid copy. U can also get this pdf from this forum , do a search for the link.

I've already got the install instructions, however the picture shown is for an RB25DET and with my RB20DET it's missing that engine mount for the piping bracket.

I was under the impression the cooler pipes were interchangable with rb20 and rb25.

I must admit, i had a minor problem when fitting mine to my r32, in the end i cut one of the pipes in two, and rotated it to make it align correctly, then reconnected with a silicone joiner.

hope that helped

Wouldn't that make it prone for the silcone join to pop off because the pipe isn't lipped. I'll see tomorrow how I can fit the outlet pipe under the battery.

Oh and one more question, does it matter which direction you install the intercooler? Like which side is inlet and which side is outlet, ie non directional?

Thanks

the intercooler is not directional so it doesnt matter, When i did my kit on the r33 i had to enlarge the factory hole too adn i wasnt happy, it was a pain.

Upon hindiste i would spend the money on a blitz or similar kit or get custom piping from some where reputable.

Its ok to enlarge the stock hole just make it look neat and paint it so it dont rust.

Hmm all the pipes in the kit should have a lip??? i dont have a just jap one bu ti assumes its the same, i got mine directly off a supplier in hong kong and it had lipped pipes. piping kit cost me $52 USD then $75 USD for cooler from memory. Postage was a biatch

you could just use the stock piping if your adverse to cutting, and like the man said, RUST PROOF !

you could just use the stock piping if your adverse to cutting, might not flow as well, but i doubt youd notice much unless your really going bigger boost, pipping popping off is a prick!, and like the man said, RUST PROOF !
