geez cut the shit out of the metal front bar ...

hm..... double pass cool, havent yet found one, plus im a perfectionist, thats why i got the FMIC i have, so the front looks even.

might be a long process.

the one with the pipe going behind the radiator in freddy's post. would that affect turbo response being such a long return pipe ?

who installed it and how much? i still havent haha, went to do it last night then realised we didnt have a big enough grinder

here is a pic of a just jap stealth fitted.

Nice job,but ,did you reposition your oil cooler?I allways had the doubt if the 3 layers(fmic/cooler/radiator)don't create a "hot spot" slowing the air flow...

found it

quick bump to this thread and a heads up for people wanting to get a aftermarket cooler

out good friends at ARC have the solution

Yep that's exactly what I'm after (although it would end up costing over $1200 NZ by the time I get it here)! However it would be cost efective for an Aussie because there is no installation expense - it will more or less slot straight in.

I believe the ARC item is bigger than the Trust (which is bigger than the R34GTT/neo one) so should be good for around 220AWKW. In other words it would be good for some one who doesn't want a front mount showing (for aesthetic or compliance reasons) but plans on more power.

That intercooler doesn't look much bigger than the standard S2 one(maybe good upgrade for a S1) as the R34Gtt fmic upgrade says in the DIY section:

Time to measure it up, the core is 80 mm thick, compared to the standard Stagea's 65 mm. The core is 210mm wide and 225mm high (18 rows) while the standard Stagea intercooler is 210mmmm by 185mm (15 rows). This would indicate an improvement in flow of 23%, R34GTT is 206kw and Stagea is 170kw, that's a 21% improvement in power. Seems logical that Nissan would have some mathematical basis for upsizing the intercooler

maybe the arc has better air flow?but for $880...

anyway looking around find this(the price is a little bit crazy I recon ),but is another option...

plus the old VL turbo one (BTW there was one on sale on eBay for 100)

after all the research think to keep the standard one until boost goes up...:-)

mount it on the the angle to avoid the reo.

in the cooler thread page 5 i think, a dude's got one on, he didn't cut nothing ! :P

did he remove the thermo? as i dont see what he did as possible, then again, its chinese, they are prob all different

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
