Hey All,

I had a little mishap in my car on the weekend and as a result i have a big dent in my intercooler from a tow bar. I've been looking at a few and just wanted any opinions or recommendations on what will be ideal to get. Do any of the aftermarket coolers offer any significant gains over the standard GTR core? My car is currently standard but in future will be probably running some N1's and supporting mods. I basically want something that's going to be a direct replacement and bolt straight on with minimal fuss. I came across the Blitz LM but the kit only comes with a core. Is this because it uses all the factory piping?

Btw i have a budget of around 1k

Thanks for any input.

Yep most GTR coolers are suitable for the re-use of the stock piping. You wont get any noticeable power gains but with a larger core you'll be able to hammer it without worrying about your intake temps. So with this in mind, if you dont plan on doing any track work, a stocker will suffice.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
