Hey,

I want to get an FMIC for my r32 gts-t soon enough and it already have highflowed turbo so boost aint around 4500rpm mark so i want to step up a little. I am concerned with cooler piping lengh and i thought up a little idea in my head that the same side inlet/outlet would be good with custom piping... could make lengh alot shorter, and no cutting holes under battery tray and save over 1m of piping not needed.

Just wondering if anyone could recommend some good brands that make them.. im finding it hard to find.

Any opinions on this??

think about it serioulsy, the air for that cooler still has to go all the whole length of the intercooler back up to the engine

the only difference is that its part of the cooler, no piping, so it looks like less piping...

i put a cheap fmic on. i have about 200 to maybe 250rpm's more lag, which isn't noticable unless i'm studying the guages

however retaining stock piping and not cutting holes definately has its ups! i was looking to go this route but couldnt justify it when justjap sells their kits for $350ish and ebay can be cheaper (and dodgey too!)

my mate has a 33 with a similar cooler to that, but a bigger and better version. i dislike the design. the air travels in, does a 90 degree turn, travels through the core, does another 90 degree turn then comes out. in my opinion it just slows the air flow down to much. that is why i like the hybrid style coolers. they keep the air flowing in a good direction. no sharp turns inside the cooler. and the apexi and blits ones have a 90 degree bend in them, but it is in the piping, not in the core.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
