Can I Hookup 2 Stock Intercoolers?

[Woody23]

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

I have an R33 sII 1996

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.

Since you're so adament about not cutting the bar...get a arc or blitz upgrade smic...but if you're chasing alot more power it will still be a limitation...

[Gazee]

what sort of power to people push with smic's??

Also, R34 intercoolers are suppossed to be an option for the R33

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. =-]

get the R34 smic.. its worth it..

[dan_the_man]

umm the gtr's have fmic's with no issues... why not just chop away... if ur worried about cosmetics then u can still have the front bar looking normal... they chop away at the underside of it

[Adriano]

GTRs dont have front mounts from the factory, not according to the cop who defected my mate.haha

[RANDY]

Nah.. GTR's just have two radiators. Extra coooool ;o)
