Hey guys, a quick question.

Im about to get a GTR cooler for my gtst but have no idea where to get the pipes made up or what fits and what not... i was thinking a normal piping kit for a gtst would do but the gtr cooler has slightly longer end tanks. Can anyone who has done this shed light on it for me.

Thanks !

Just out of curiosity mate how much did you pick that GTR core for?

Fully kits with piping and core to fit gtst's go for only $600 or so man.....$400 for ISC stuff...getting the piping made for your GTR cooler will prob cost you more...just my thoughts

just take it to a good exhaust place and they should be able to make the piping up for you mate.... places like BTR....D&T exhausts or AAA exhausts......goodluck with it all mate hope it all works out

Brand new $250 the $50 was postage >.> i was pitching over getting a Greddy one but i wanted a black core and im not about to spray a new cooler black...

So i assume the GTR one is already black??

Personally i'd be buying a ISC Kit and spraying it, the pipework and hoses will cost you alot more the way you wanna do it!!

I suggest you sell the GTR core and buy yourself an ISC kit or even a Greddy kit mate.....saves the hassle....i was looking at getting a GTR intercooler but then decided to get a Greddy one and couldnt be happier mate....all fits nicely and does a wicked job of cooling....you can either spray that black or leave it as it is.....either way it will do the job and i have not heard of anyone getting done for a fmic....touch wood

Yeah its already black, they come black stock i believe. All i need is the pipes... not sure which way to go now =/

Maybe 32 GTR coolers come black but my 33GTR cooler i had on the 33 was the old standard silver!! The pipe work that was on mine was like a roller coaster and was not helping, at least the ISC kits pipe work is more direct!!

Hit up Ryan a PM, He doesnt bite!!

Custom Pipework, or hunt down an East Bear piping kit from japan. Id personally go custom pipework, as you can have it exactly where you want it.

Or get a cheaper full kit from ISC/JJR..

For top notch pipework go see Marky @ ET, or LeRoy @ BTR. Will cost a bit more, but it'll be the best.

Hi, Basically our ISC kits are made for RB25DET. There is very very little modification needed to make this kit fit nicely onto an RB20DET. For $399 you really cant go wrong as the kits include a new 600x300x76 core/piping/clamps/silicon hoses etc. Alternativly we can do you a Trust Spec M for $645, this is a straight bolt on item aswell and comes with everything needed for installation.

Thanks,Ryan

gtr cores are good for hi HP.

keep it.

buy a box of pipes (3") off ebay and some good 3ply silicone off ebay again, good bolt-clamps, cut and install at home.

thats what I did :rofl:

Yeah the reason why i got a gtr cooler is of its mounting points. easy to mount ive heard. what was involved when you did yours? alot of cutting? i can only imagine you'd have to cut the pipe where it joins to the end tanks since they are abit longer.

keep the GTR cooler mate (IMHO)

better design & flow etc than $200 chinese copies

with the pipe kit, just exactly that off ebay for around $120 delivered, a few straight pipes, curved pipes etc

decided what Id need, measured thrice, cut and fit, and re-fit

then took it all apart and lipped the edges of the pipes and reinstalled

no issues

looks like a home job but meh thats me, dodgy 'bros

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
