Intercoolers

[JKR34S]

Hey guys Im thinking of adding a Front Mount Intercooler to my R34 Gtt ive been looking on just jap and ive seen two types one where the pipes both go down to the right of the engine bay then goes behingd the cooler and has like a 180 degree bend to the left of the cooler and the other type is the normal one where the pipes go down both sides of the cooler

whats the differecne between to two? and does brands matter

please lets me know

thanks guys

Any pics?

This is mine, from just jap.

the other one Im thinking of has the return pipe away from engine (opposite to mine)

and uses the stock intercooler pipes and holes near the airbox

You're deciding on either the standard FMIC kit or Stealth kit?

[J4M3S]

is the stealth one just smaller?

The Stealth type runs the return pipe underneath the intercooler, no drilling or cutting required, i'd assume that it will breath better, as it has less bents and a shorter pipe then the original tube n fin type.

I've the tube n fin type, my return pipe runs across the above of the engine bay, and back to the throttle body, same as Evil's.

As for brands, it doesnt really matter unless you are chasing massive power, jap just kits can handle up to 300rkw+ with proper mods.

Also is there much mucking around with the traditional type of intercoolers, i have heard that people have to move the battery, modify air boxes etc?

thats right i had to move my batt

I've got the Just Jap Stealth intercooler on my R34 GTT.

Fits up nicely and works very well, and i retained my standard airbox, which is important for retaining the standard look.

If your keeping the stock airbox and snorkel - yes, that would need to be slightly modded...

thats if you get the type of fmic pipe I have

No, there is no need to move the battery.

There shouldn't be any modification to the stock air box, it should be straight bolt off + bolt on.
