why not buy a second hand cooler from a ford xr6 turbo; the geometry of the end tanks make it able to utilize the stock pipes.

Painting it black and you will have something very stealthy and provide the cooling u need.

get an 34gtt cooler, its bigger and a direct swap. dont pay too much for it though.

What he said ^^^ will hold you over till 220rwkw roughly.

bout $200-$250 and remember to clean it before install.

50/50 kero and water is what i used.gets heaps of black stuff out.

^+1 for the cleaning, i cintend to clean mine once every year or so (dont drive my girl much) and i have black pipes to, they never even mention it,

you wont make over 200 with 10psi so this set up would be fine unless oyu get a aftermarket Turbo

That's a brilliant idea..

I saw some really awesome guy selling one on these forums earlier..

here it is..

Forget the hype in this thread.

The stock cooler will be fine. Its not 'ideal', but then rarely in the world do you get ideal everything? :cheers:

It wont kill the motor or anything like that. It'll just result in a little less power.

If you go for more boost, bigger turbo etc, then id change it but 10psi, it'll be fine. Id be more worried about the ECU having a fit, although warmer climate you should be ok

A GT-t cooler is a good swap-over upgrade if you do plan on a bit more, retaining factory position and legalities for the most part as you'll never get pinned for a mild upgrade like that

Nismoid you save me more and more money every day :cheers:

lol.....hey so do these units fit without me chopping my reo bar or even my stock spec M bar? would be interested if it did.

yeh they do.

you (or the person installing the cooler) would need to make a few mounting brackets and bolt them to the reo to hold the cooler in place, and then the remaining piping obviously... but that's is it.

a couple of holes in to the reo to hold the cooler in place is all that needs cutting (well drilling).

i'll be getting the R-34 GT-T cooler which was recommended but what do you mean i should be more worried about my ECU having a fit?would winding the boost screw around with my ECU?

do i have to get a aftermarket ECU and get it tuned cause i wouldnt want to do anything to my baby which might mess it up.

anything below 10 psi usually seems to be fine.

sometimes 10psi and usually anything over that causes the ecu to go in to a rich and retard state.

basically to you it means when you floor it and the revs get to about 4500rpm, it feels like it cuts out or misfires or loses power etc.

it's not nice.

a remap ($350+ ) is the cheapest option to resolve this..

search for thread by user TOSHI for remap info.

Nismoid you save me more and more money every day :D

Good to hear :)

Spend some of that saved money in a SAU-Vic membership ;)

Ye as GTS-T said - he covered most of it.

Its hard to say as every car and ECU seems to behave differently.

Simply put, if you do start to get a flatspot around 4500rpm, then just back the boost off 1psi at a time till it goes away and you'll get around it that way.

You can also setup a waterspray kit too for the GT-t cooler. There is a DIY Guide on how to do it and i believe costs less than $80 :)

How much benefits it has however is debateable, but in a hotter climate i could see potential use more so than a cooler one

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
