anyway update of the cooler, i'm pretty impressed by the performance side of it, and from a distance it looks ok, all i need to do now is mount it on straight and its done,

I didn't need not cut the bar at all to fit it in, but i have a GTR front bar which was orginally designed for a fmic in it.... heres a couple of dodgey pics of it, as i said i need to straighten it up though

have you noticed much lag due to the extra piping? cause i was looking at this kit and wondering how much it would effect lag cause the piping has to run all the way back?

Hey guys, just on this issue....

The stealth kit comes with a 600x240x60mm cooler as apposed to a 600x300x76mm one that comes in the conventional style kit (pipes over the engine bay). So wouldn't the smaller cooler core size compensate for any extra piping length???

Correct me if I'm wrong though :cheers:

And btw I just installed a jjr stealth kit on mine too!

Did you notice much lag Tom with the FMIC?

You could be onto something here.

just installed mine today.

wrong day to do it cause i had a big night last night and have felt like shit all day.

as mentioned before, the quality isnt the best but it looks pretty good. r33 gtst S1 front bar needs no trimming.

ill post pics up soon

i was thinkn about getn one of these just jap stealth ic pretty soon and probably still will, they look pretty good i recon and the fact u dont ahve to cut holes is the main reason i recon theyd b good :D just wondering though how tom said earlier how there not good for repeated drags serious track cars stuff like that im guessn thats just because of there size? and if the quality of these isnt as good as people have thought they should b what would b a better stealth style fmic? also is there much gain from getn a fmic if atm ive only got 3 inch exhaust n increased the boost to 10 psi? if im goin to do more sooner or later i guess so... good pics by every1 to. catch guys

I have a S2 R33, it came with a AVO Stealth Front Mount (pretty sure its AVO) using stock piping, same as these Just Jap ones. However they needed to remove a very small part from the front bumper. If you are looking at the car from the front, the right hand side pipe that comes off the cooler. So small can only see it when really close up.

Great thing is thats its a black intercooler, so its super stealth. Lots of people ask me "When you going to get a front mount?" which is a great sign for a sleeper look.

not sure of the dimensions of the cooler, looks same size as the Just Jap ones. Not even sure if they still make them, but might be another option for you guys cnsidering the Just jap one.

Hope that helps, cheers

Found a link to an AVO Intercooler, much more expensive than i thought. Good thing i didnt pay for it!!! Seems a bit smaller though.

the only real drama i found with this cooler was the bottom brackets completely off alignment and a fair bit was cut from the reo bar.

another thing on just jap, i would advise against buying the catco cats. the flanges are shithouse and were warped. had to take it to my mate to chop them off and weld new ones on.

it lets you retain the stock airbox Marcus, as it's a return flow cooler, hence when you pop the bonnet you don't see the crazy piping going everywhere...

although, it is a bit of a misnomer as the core itself will still stand-out... i guess you could say the piping is stealth

I've got one, got leaks with it which make this really bad howling noise :banana: but that's probably my fault because i wanted it to be dead straight, level and parallel to the front of the car and THEN connect the piping after. So there's a few funky angles going where pipes join, and we've replaced some of the clamps with better ones which helped initially but i think it's just pushed the leak somewhere else. Nothing a few better clamps can't fix. Good piece of kit overall

would that be one of the stealth ones by any chance? i'm looking at getting one of these for my car as well.

if it's worth it i'll buy it, so long as it fits well and I don't have to fiddle too much... in any case just give the metal a polish or completely paint it black for uber stealth!

You'll only notice a slight bit of lag compared to your SMIC, since its piping is minimal.

There's no difference in lag between a stealth FMIC and a GT spec FMIC. Some say one set-up may have the slightest improvement over the other but then again, that's debatable.

The main reason you'd buy the stealth set-up is so you don't have to cut any holes into your baby...

and the other most important issue is less heat soak from the radiator....which is why blitz / Arc did it in the first place

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
