The answer is you can make 200rwkw on the stock unit.

The R34 intercooler is a bolt in and will give you some more headroom for a tad more power. Water spray is not needed at all on the stock turbo unless you have some sustained thrashing involved but, none the less is of benifit to any size intercooler.

Why bother wasting $200 for a r34 side mount when you will probably get sick of it/need to upgrade 2-3 months down the track.

Just get a fmic hole cut, get it done by a pro, make it look nice n pro. Dont worry about cutting a hole, we all do it but if u have a spare 1k go do what some ppl here mentioned.

The way i see it, cooler kit for $350 (i have one ready to go) installation ~100-150 u just saved 500-600 on other mods that u will enjoy

$200 on an R34 intercooler is very little money and still cheaper than a fmic, on a stock turbo or hiflow with power levels upto 220rwkw or so.

So you can ask "why spend another $300 for cop bait, extra weight and more often than not, no extra performance?"

Then again be a bolt on boy and follow the sheep? Who cares it's all good.

Paint it black, you will notice the difference of a FMIC on the track.

Follow the sheep? wtf..

People use FMIC kits because they work. $200 for a side mount, and for $130 extra you can get a FMIC kit which will do a the same job, and will support more than 200rwkw if you do chooses to go there later.

I mean he has an Rb25, all he is has to do is boost it to 13psi or so, with exhaust adn shit, and that side mount becomes useless as he will make over 200rwkw anyways.

Why would you bother going a sidemount? I know I wouldnt.

He will put the side mount in, boost it to 13psi, get about 200rwkw, drive it hard, either on street or track and the thing will suck, then he will want more power and he will have to rip the side mount out, and spend another $300odd and get a FMIC, when he should have just bought one in the first place.

Honestly, with prices of FMIC kits now, why would you bother with a side mount?

Meh no point arguing with these ppl abu.

Just state your opinion and let them decide.

Stiff shit if they don't want to listen.

Tell me about it.

It's like a temporary solution. No Point!

Ah well. Good luck with it all.

Thanks,

Abu

A few guys I know have run low 13 and even high 12s with a standard R33 intercooler. Not R34 upgrades, on the stock turbo. Doesn't seem that useless to me?

The r34 core is proven to flow efficiently to 220rwkw, so you can make over 200rwkw if you like.

My last R34 intercooler cost me $80.

ive got an r34 cooler on mine. only seeing about 190rwkw @ ~10psi. its doing its job fine. but now i want to get it tuned to 12psi, with a new exhaust setup. i'm thinking it will be safer with an fmic. so yeah r34 is kinda temporary. but it was a piss easy swap over, and pretty cheap.

If you are running a stock turbo or anything under 220rwkw (bonnet down) then there is no 'safety issue'. :glare:

this seems to have turned into the battle of the fmic vs the r34 coolers. ah well its always worth a read. I am about to source a r34 cooler for $50 all up. I think its a decent buy. Will let you guys know how I go after a tune.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
