I heard the trust type M dont need the fan blades to be cut.. Obviously you will still need to cut a hole for the piping on the side..

Or you could get return type coolers such as ARC.. But will be expensive..

Otherwise most cheap copies, will require you to cut a bit of the fan blades..

Correct siddr20, the Trust ones don't need the blades cut nor do the GReddy's but I beleive they are the exact same just rebadged

So your sure that the Trust/GReddy ones don't need to be cut? even for the NEO RB25?

series 1 r33 here and i installed a JJR intercooler kit...didnt have to trim the fan blade and it doesn hit either...even underload

i believe the s2 is the same deal...although some people say that it hit, some say it didnt. If it doesnt have clearance you can always gently notch in a small dint in the underneath of the piping with a peice of wood to make it clear....someone i know did that and it clears now and no need for fan triming :rolleyes:

Just a get a Blitz LM cooler or ARC, with return piping so no need to cut holes or fan. And it should run more efficient since it doesnt sit above the rocker cover or radiator.

ok, noob question.. Return piping?? I've heard ARC are sweet intercoolers, but what is return piping???

Yep, BLiTZ M is good, thats what I have on my R32, well whats going ON my R32.

Attached a picture for you noob :thumbsup:

Thats the cooler that will be going on my R32, you can see how the piping comes to the one side.

Return flow is when the piping runs to one side of the car, and up into the engine bay the same way the stock I/C piping does.

I'm gunna jump on the wagon too..

I also have R33 GTST S2, 40th anniverssary (though pretty sure it's the same)

Was thinking of getting greddy 300x600x76.

Should I expect any increase in lag with this cooler?

If so is it worth changing to the R34 GTT one?

I dont plan on going crazy with mods for more power in the near future, maybe just a pod filter and I already have 3" exhaust.

Also any other basic tips would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance!

i've certainly noticed more lag after installing my fmic - eventually i'd like to go to a front facing plenum to reduce the pipe-maze a bit and see if it helps. also am going to wrap my return pipe in front of the radiator in heat-proof shielding to see how that goes cos that pipe gets stupid hot!

oh also have a jjr fmic and just bent the bracket that the return pipe uses to attach to the engine so it clears the blades - looks a little ghetto but looks aren't my concern.

Thanks guys..

I am also taking into consideration that I live in Alice Springs and it gets DAMN hot and dry. I don't know how this will affect my car...any ideas? I don't think it will be too much of a problem, maybe just a little loss of power..

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
