For that amount of money you could have had a trust vspl cooler. Nengun sells them for about 80,000yen delivered to your door (about $1070 going on current exchange rate) the only mods you need to do is make a hole for the plenum pipe to come up like yours has. Personally I think the welds look shocking and nowhere as neat as a jap cooler. Sorry, but these are a forum and I am entitled to my opinion :wave:

Rob77, he paid $1800 including piping and labour. I don't think that's too bad. I take it the price you quoted from Nengun was just the cooler? Add in import duty, GST, freight, labour and piping and I'd say it'll be well over $1800. Of course, you can still do better than that too, my setup cost closer to $1500 (600x300x70).

Btw WLD747, there is no way that cooler is 700x400. I measured it on my screen and the ratio of length to height is around 3.2:1. The ratio of a 700x400 cooler is 1.75:1. It's more likely something like 700x220 or 800x250.

the size is prob around 700 x 280 x 70. The price i quoted was just an rough figure wasnt more than $1600 but this upgrade was done within a day. But its usually cheaper if you leave you car there for a week or 2.

Labour is the main factor with intercooler upgrades. Very time consuming job. one more thing this includes a new electric radiator fan not clutch fan to make way for the cooler piping so it removes some weight of the engine pullys.

planning to run lots of HP, ok it takes a couple of days to put on a cooler and make piping, depends on when the shop is busy. I had the guys working on mine most of the day so they could do it in one day. But i had the intercooler and piping ready.

cheers

Try www.nengun.siteblast.com.au, go to trust and you will see that the intercooler kit is quite reasonably priced. True that price does not include gst, but you may not pay gst on it *wink*. Anyway, the kit is complete and for most people more than enough, cheaper than some aussie kits.

twin is good reduces lag from turbo and goes through the cooler at the top and bottom.  So ive heard.

Can you let us know what diameter the intake and outlet pipes are? Unless they've put some thought into it (and it doesn't look like it), this setup is going to do anything but reduce lag.

Also, while swapping to an electrical fan is no bad thing, it didn't have to happen. The route that piping takes definitely doesn't interfere with the clutch fan if its done properly. I've had a very similar layout in my car for sometime.

BTW, what possesed you to get a fake intercooler and GTR badge?

(mutters something demoralising about ricers)

i agree with the weld comment........not to mention the use of what looks like steel piping...steel rusts therefore throwing crap into the engine.....In regards to twin inlet theres not really an advantage unless its a twin turbo...all your doing with a single turbo there is creating unwanted turbulence in the piping.... Border,nismo,ARC use twin entry on GTR intercoolers...its to stop the turbulence/clashing of compressed air between the 2 turbos

personally I think the price is a bit high as it isn't all stainless piping and the size of the cooler is way to big. and the twin entry says to me these coolers were made for a different application.

the cooler on my sr 32 is 600 x 300 x 76 which is plenty big enough for 500 -600 hp bmt did the cooler piping. personally if you ahve a stock turbo there is no real need for a bigger cooler unless you plan on upgrading you turbo it a bigger one.

I'd say that cooler has been made with a 500-700hp GTR in mind. Its very large and has the twin entry's for the 2 turbos.

Dunno about fitting that to a big HP GTR...........:confused:

:D i thought it was a GTR when i first say the twin intake...

i agree with you troy, and rob77

The welds are average... The pipint isn't stainless and the cooler really is too big.

It'll induce to much lag being of that size.

My cooler is quite a fair size (ARC) and it's single entry, but i'm running a much bigger turbo.

i personally would like to see some bench testing of that twin and a Blitz/ARC/HKS single entry.

That would tell the true story.

Personnaly I believe that running a twin entry cooler will reduce the effectiveness of a single turbo setup, the disturbance of the air flow through the splitter will surely cause restriction to airflow? There is the other point that it may direct more airflow through one entry than the other and cause pulsing??

In my opinion twing entry should only be seen in two things:

a) Twin turbo applications

B) Pornos.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
