Basically the way it works is...

The intercooler cools the air that your turbo is sucking in before it goes into your engine. This means that, due to the lower temperature, the air is more compressed. There is therefore more air per unit volume. This means that more air is able to go into your engine and create a bigger bang making more power.

With a front mount, esspecially on RB's, you can get more lag due to the piping going all over the top of the engine. This means that the air needs to stay at that particular pressure for longer to get into the engine creating longer lag. If you shorten the piping with a different intake plenum. eg GReddy, lag will be reduced again as the air has less distance to travel.

Hope this helps.

P.S If I just confused you, or if anyone thinks I'm talking crap... feel free to explain further :D

I need an intercooler. Are those M-Spec ones on JustJap anygood? or should I just get one of those cooling pro ones?

PS. Im a tight arse >_<

Im guessing they would be alright, i dont know anyone with one but still would be ok i guess, unless someone has had problems with them and wants to correct me.

Im currently using a monza 300 x 600 x 75 cooler and for a cheaper brand its very good and the quality isnt too bad either, im happy with it. :D

just buy a greddy m-spec kit, cost is around $600-$700 depending where you get it from.

they may be a about $200 more pricey than the china kits, but the quality of the pipe work is excellent and you know it will bolt in no problems. also the greddy endtanks are better than the china coolers endtanks

just my 2cents

if your keeping car relativly stock i wouldnt worry about putting one on.. you wont notice any power increases if thats the only mod your planing to do..

but i would chuck one on if you wanna chuck some more boost into etc etc

also Fmic look awsome

ps pay someone to do it.. its not as easy as everyone says it is to put on

Alright thanks for that info. I really just like the look of intercoolers dont think I'm planning on doing major engine modifications I mean im only 18 and want to live lol :) plus im getting 400R front so thought I may as well get it together.

Cheers, sorry for hijacking thread lol

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
