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.

hmm rohan is that you from ns.com?

or how do you know my name lol?

umm yea he bought it from ebay..

Theres another one on sau for 100 bucks.. guy lives in penrith area i think

I also have sourced one out for 120 bucks in melb..

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.

man i love ur car

looks so fkn mint, i wish my 32 looked as pretty as urs :glare:

where to get a gtr bar in melb?

Hahah thanks man. Your car is tough as!!

Did you do the RB25 conversion your self?

GTR bar came on the car from Japannnn :P

Sorry to go off topic..

High 12's? On stock cooler?.. :glare:

$80 straight bolt on hey, pretty good man.

Included all the piping, clamps and joiners too?

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.

hahah you stalker.. but howd you get my name anywyas?

umm see you found one for 50..

I see some ppl selling 34 coolers for like 200 plus.. im like wow!!

What's the difference between R33 stock cooler and R34 stock cooler?

Just curious on why these are soooo goood.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
