Can I Make 200rwkw With Stock Intercooler

[rev210]

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.

just to add.. 200 for a r43 cooler is expensive!!

Should get it around 100 easily..

A friend of mine just bought one for 55 bucks..

[TramanBaba]

[siddr20]

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.

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'.

[TramanBaba]

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.

[siddr20]
