thanks lee

whats a r34 gtt ic worth?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Maybe around 250rwhp or there abouts. The R34GTT intercooler is better flow wise than the R33, but if your paying money for it then I'd go a decent FMIC.

[hippy]

is gtt cooler ... the same side mount type as the 33??

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yes, but I think it's bigger and less restrictive in design. Doubt it's a straight fit, and therefore not worth changing the piping for such a small cooler IMHO.

[warrior_350]

Someone here posted that it is basically the same and uses the same piping but it's just thicker. If thats true then it would be a reasonable upgrade for someone like me who is only planning on running about 12psi max with the basic sort of mods to get around 200rwkw. So for the couple hundred? or so it is much cheaper than a fmic as i wont be running a bigger turbo so i wont need one. So it would provide that bit extra cooling without going overboard on a fmic. If someone could confirm that its a straight swap that would be great, also does anyone have a rough price for a second hand one?

[Guest RedLineGTR]

would like to do the same gtt->gtst intercooler, if it was for a couple of hundred like $200-300 at most i would get it...but wouldn;t i have to remove the front bar to get to it??

[rev210]

the stock r33 unit hasn't prevented me from getting as much power as the factory turbo can produce.

So far my power output matches or exceeds a fmic, stock turbo combination.

You get to a point where the factory turbo just acts as a blockage anyway.

[rev210]

the stock r34 coolers go for about $100 or a little over so they are a good little' torque increaser' over the factory r33.

They are thicker and have far better designed end tanks.

[warrior_350]

Well my stock one isnt in the best shape, and if it is a straight swap no piping needing modification then i might as well get a gtt one. Any ideas where i could get one?

[RJB]

Wouldn't mind knowing that myself, if it is a bolt-on job.

[Ronin 09]

I think it is a straight swap. Do a search i remember someone doing this already (or considering it) and reading about it

If you were offered a FMIC, rev, would you take it and install it? I think you'd be quite pleasantly surprised

[TTT]

here you go...

R33

W187×H205×T60(mm)

R34

W187×H223×T80(mm)

this should help those who are curious of the fit and so on.

looks like the pipes are identical to me..

[Guest Robo's]

Hmmm looks pretty close, but a worthwhile upgrade if it only costs you $100 or so.

[TTT]

I doubt you could get them for $100..If you can then you're laughing..

think about it..

REV210 is still running the standard cooler on his car and getting close to 12 second pass (or maybe already done it) and has who knows what power at the wheels.

these intercooler are on a car that already has 206kw and just as the R33 ones can handle some extra power so can these so it would be a great upgrade for someones R33 or R32 who is not looking at getting more than say 250kw at the engine... or maybe even a little more..

I think that these are worth closer to $300 from some that I have seen.

good luck.

[Guest Robo's]

Well even $300 is much better than a full front mount with new pipes at $1500, when end of the day they don't run much faster, just able to run faster for longer.

[TTT]

exactly.

[Guest Robo's]

Has anyone ever flowed these coolers, i remember a Zoom mag, they where flowing some coolers. Of course a better flowing cooler your going to get more power.

If I was offered a FMIC I'd take it.

Then I would sell it.

And have some underdrive lightweight pulleys made for the engine, perhaps also install an automatic gtst's diff center with the 4.3 gears and buy some decent wide tyres for the back with the money from the sale.

I am pleasantly suprised to beat the pants off all the poor people who got oversized frount mount intercoolers for their stock turbo'd cars (BoostD is the exception to the rule). So in the pleasantly suprised stakes I'm already pleasantly suprised at how little money I've spent.
