Take it easy uleh. The reality is you've tanked your cash if you're expecting a performance increase.

But it's your cash, do what you want. BTW bro, mait is spelt mate.

im relaxed bro but i dont like when people give attitude, orite mistake me if im wrong but not go on and be a towards me, i dont want to start shit here, i just started up a new topic trying to get some info from gus like you not bloody attitude and childish people like that, thanks for the reply bro, ill just get more mods to the car then get the fmic installed,

cheers mate

r32 cooler std is not too bad, not much use over 300rwkw but the later 34 ones are good for a bit more, i use the same trust core you just bought on the car in our avatar and spent alot of time on the dyno playing with ECU's and doing datalogs on three coolers (std, JJR and the TRUST 115mm one). i noticed whilst tuning it that the inlet temps are far more stable even over about 20-25 dyno pulls... the equivalent of road/circuit driving. The std one was pretty shit after about 10 pulls. the more stable inlet temps allowed more agressive tuning and more power. if you were to tune for one run on each cooler though they would pull the same power but after about the 10th pull with an aggressive tune and std cooler you would be well down on power due to the inlet temp ignition retard map winding in.

dont pay to much attention to the knockers on here, half of them just regurgitate shit they have heard or read.... not real world experience. i gaurantee your car with the trust cooler and a decent tune will be making peak power for more laps around a track (or more strip sessions and dyno pulls) than the same car with the std cooler.

Now that's uncalled for.

You talk about 'real world experience'. Do you think this guy is building a car purely to use on the track? 99% of people on here use their cars as their daily drivers.

For a streeter, a 100mm core making 240kw atw is completely unnecessary. When he makes bigger power, sure, but for now he's better sticking with the stock cooler.

Whats the bet this is street driving and not going to spend 20K getting the car up to the sort of power that requires another cooler...

bro...

lol and how do you know that im not going to pump 15-20gz in this thing, man what do you know about me, your nothing but a low life, get over yourself and mature up, you call me a lil kid, its like youve known me for about 10years here, and by the way read abit more in the topic, im going to be purchasing the turbos, bigger cams, injectors, pump and stuff like that in the next few months

BROOO..........

Hey man,

People spend a lot of time and effort witting comprehensive threads / posts with the intention of adding to this great forum. It should be treated like a library, where you search for information, before asking an orig question or topic. You can imagine then that ppl get a little narky when new ppl ask Q's that they themselves might have covered extensively before :P

Anyways, tuning! - its all bout how much the power or refinement your willing to pay for. If you can find someone who's experienced with FC's to tidy the tune up for around $200, i would do it, even if you are getting cams installed, and getting it tuned in another few months, having the tuner wind some more ignition in down low and trim some fuel out up top will make the car that much more fun and punchy to drive.

thank you very much bro, ill leave it to my mechanic, hill tell me what i need to do anyway,

How did u guys find the JJR cooler? I'm getting to the limits of the std core now and find the inlet temps are up and easily 50+ degrees in traffic. Wat are normal inlet temps for the gtr say for normal driving and after 10 power runs?

No air->air IC is going to help your cooler temps in traffic man. Inlet temps will be based on too many things i would think to compare apples and apples.

Will piping contribute a factor regarding to inlet temp?

My experience has been that 20 to 25 pulls on the dyno is way more heat producing than a 20 minute race. Why? Because the airlfow from a dyno fan is nowhere near what you get on a circuit at 200 kph, which is what you are doing on the dyno. We run 2 dyno fans and it still doesn't get anywhere near that temperature on any track we have raced on.

Back on subject, by adding too large an intercooler, which is exactly what you (tony_nivin) are doing. The higher volume of air that there is between the turbo/turbos and the throttle bodies, the more lag you have. So what you are going to end up with is lots more throttle lag for no real power benefit. When you do the other stuff (to increase the power) then the air flow will increase proportionally and you will find you get back some of the lost throttle response. If you have matched the power level to the intercooler (and pipework) size correctly, then you will end up with pretty much standard response times.

Yes, Toto you can have too big an intercooler.

Merry Xmas

Can the grammar police can this guy?

lol wat u mean by that mate, anyway close this subject, dont want no more comments, merry xmas evryone

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
