Hey all.

I'm about to start modding my car again and am changing my high-flow turbos for a couple of the new T28-10's.

While I'm at it I will be changing the intercooler from stock to a new Trust cooler.

I was going to go with the Trust Type 23 - 302x600x115 (3 core) however my mechanic adised I should be going

with the Trust Type 24 - 284x600x76 (2 core) citing that the larger cooler restricts airflow to the radiator too much

and that the Type 23 is good enough.

Experiences - Thoughts???

Thanks

i would tend to agree. 76mm is still quite a thick core. and going to 115mm will mean practically no airflow is making it through your intercooler and air con core to the radiator. personally for anything up to 350rwkw I'd be happy with the 76. if it's more power than that you're after then the big core may be a good idea, and a new radiator wouldn't hurt either :D

Would a clean undented fin 32 GTR intercooler be better than a 100 mm thick aftermarket core if its got fins that are dented a bit an kinda closed up doesnt leak but looks shitty an I think might be resticting flow a bit.

Anyone got dimensions of the stocky?

Might be able to get a good condition stocker cheapish thinking it will make a good stopgap till I can source a ARC or something

Been having some cooling probs so thinking the thick core might not be helpin

the reason there are such thick ones is for drag racing wher the sheer mass of the things is where the cooling happens. rather than relying on a volume of air going thu it.(still gos thru)

interesting note. on our race supra. it had a 700x300x76 cooler in it. 22 row. it used to overheat. so.. we cut it inhalf. to make a 700x150x76 core. 11 row. now it doesnt overheat and made NO DIFERANCE to inlet tmps on the track.

My idea of intercoolers has always been to get the smallest you can get away with for your application, the bigger the intercooler gets means more volume that the turbo's have to fill up with air before that air reaches the throttle body and hence worse response from off boost to on boost

I'm convinced T04GTR that most of your posts, while factual sound, are bashed out, while coming down off a heroin hit. Your English is completely "EnGrish" i love it.. keep up the good work!!!! :D

he's from NSW, can you really expect much more? :D

ARE can run some calcs of ur setup and come up with the right sized cooler for your needs. $90 for it, and u get $50 back if u buy one of their coolers (which are only $1500)

or if you're nice he might just do them for you anyway...

90mm ARE is sweet

a decent new jap one is only $1500 new, ARE are spin doctors.

We just replaced the 78mm generic tube and fin cooler one on cats car with a brand name 115mm unit and repeated runs on the dyno show the advantage of having larger cooling area, there is far less heatsoak after 10 or so runs. This combined with phenolic intake gaskets has been quite suprising.

you seem to love your jap 'brand names' alot dont you and your fast to beat down on the aussie gear :unsure:

hows the response changed of the car with the larger cooler?

well they may be the same money as a Japanese cooler but I'm willing to support the Aussie team at ARE

after all it's a lump of aluminium.

note mine's a tube/fin 90mm ARE made to order through discussions with them.

service means alot to me too.

i do because we get fed a lot of baseless shit..... a local guy in a shed struggling to make sales needs a good line.... do a bit of back ground work and you will soon find the facts behind the product, where it comes from and whether or not it is as good as the line you were spun....

as for response after a quick tidy up it was barely noticeable, actually far less than i had expected.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
