Hey guys i dont realy want to cut out the front of my bumper for a front mount so i was wondering if it was possible to set up 2 stock intercoolers for an R33 Gtst i dont know if this can be done but you never know unless you ask and i dont know jack about turbos or intercoolers and would this make much of a diffrence if i could do it?

Thanks for your help

If you do decide to do it, hook em up in parallel to reduce pressure drop and reduce restriction.

Or, buy one of the many readily avaiable front mount kits on the market.

They ain't too exy these days.

You could use this vertically with one end directly plumbed into the stock cooler pipe and the other plumbed back with a bit of custom pipe work. It would probably flow better than an r34 cooler due to the thicker tubes. You will also need to make a shroud to guide the air into it.

I'm on the same kind of path.. I don't want a front-mount (blocking my radiator, and i'm sure the IC would absorb some radiator heat too), I don't want to chop my bar, and I don't want to chop my engine bay or engine fan blades.

So, i'm running an R34 SMIC, and it's considerably larger and freer flowing. If you want to go up from there, the ARC SMIC's are more expensive, but are lighter and even better flowing. (all aluminium apparently).

Otherwise, the link above is one of the few kits around that reuse your existing pipe-work and holes... but that still means running a front-mount. Some kits may not require modding your front bar, but then it's all down to your requirements.

R34 swapout is dead easy. Allow for one hour stuffing around with undoing the hose-clamps and taking the front wheel off. $200 from the FS area, or ebay. =-]

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
