where does a stock R32 or R33 GTR intercooler sit in the graph between china spec and say PWR/ARC type coolers?

Does anyone use them on GTST cars?

Back say 5 years ago it was frequently used or GTR owners would say that up to about 280awkw the Stock coolers were still good.

I'm thinking of getting rid of the ARC return flow for an R32 GTR cooler.

Purely cause I want OEM Nissan Parts on it where I can.

Well guys on here are using them up to 400kw and not having problems so they are pretty dam good.

Did you even read my post? I am not running a atr43 G3, Im running the ancient hypergear turbo tr43i which the power is spot on to what stao predicted it would make at the time when I bought it. I was told to expect 260-270 mark on 98 so I have not bandaid fixed anything since I never had a heat soak problem from the beginning as continous runs on dyno whether 98 or e85 I didnt get massive power drops.

Thanks for your input but the post was directed at coppycutter.... Your results and methods are fine. Chill :)

I suppose I could try and get goodwill tuning, but if I were him running a business, I wouldn't expect to have to retune because a setup was poor, which Is more on the car owner for lack of research I guess. As for borrowing parts from forum members, I don't know anyone on the forum at a personal enough level to borrow a cooler and leave them stranded while I sort out my own issues

What I mean is, you ask the tuner can you come back with a new dump and cooler and he gives it a go. If it doesnt give INSTANT improvements that he sees worth while, you pay him for his time and not for the full retune (as he didnt do a full retune).

Then you continue on that road until he is satisfied you have fixed the issue. Once the car hits the rollers and seems to be 'fixed' he can then go hard and tune it for all its worth, and you pay the appropriate fee.

All im suggesting is that you protect yourself from the cost of a retune when it doesnt seem to have changed. Theres no point paying him to sit there for 5 hours going yep.... still the same....

i thought of going down this path, as i got access to a cheap R33 GTR core (currently running a no name hybrid style)

but atm, my core has been fine and there hasn't been any issues.

if i was bothered tho, i'd swap the cores over and get it back on the dyno for testing.

If you want to go plumback bov then the whole GTR cooler/bov/piping setup is actually a really nice solution.

The piping is huge though and really only suits a forward facing plenum (non-GReddy type, i.e. not going through battery tray).

Oh and the 32R cooler core is fkn heavy! but I'm pretty sure it took a hell of a lot of the impact in the accident :whistling:

Im running a nismo intank as my feed pump and the 044 from my surge but the results were the same when I just used the single nismo intank.

yeah, Im pretty sure even the stock pump is plenty good enough to supply a surge tank setup..

Yeah for a feed any pump will do for me it just turned out this way because previously was using just the nismo intank then later decided to add a surge tank.

Great, looks like you ended up making the 280rwkws.

FNT turbine update:

I've been working on a newer ATR43G3's rear housing for few weeks now and this new FNT turbine housing that suited better for the street:

Dyno tested today at Statu's brand new dyno room. :thumbsup:

(Pink line corrospond to reading above, The blue line was from a different turbo)

atr43g3boost.jpg

Compare to the older housing I've lost about 10KWs based on the same boost level, but much better response. How ever 20psi is about the max efficiency from this turbine housing, while the older .82 FNT housing was still making power at 24psi.

I've also fixed up my EBC (big thanks to Trent): Greedy Profect B. That worked like magic (with the 20psi actuator). Very steady boost control, worked better then the manual controller I've had.

I will be removing this turbo and evaluate some thing else. This turbine housing will be available for swap to any one that currently own a .82 version of the G3 for further evaluation and results. PM me if interested.

For those in WA or Perth with a Hypergear turbo, i would suggest taking it to Garage 101 to get it tuned.

Because?

How many hg turbos have they done?

Not sure how many they've done. But i found out about them through a guy who got good results from them, with an almost identical setup to mine (ATR43G3).

I've mainly had WA customers experiencing problems with tuning, which is also the first time it cames to my awareness as an issue. I've never thought the "tune" would make that much difference as most tuners I've used in Melbourne are good and getting close results.

Also make sure the car is running 100% before taking to the tuners, most of them would just chuck it on the dyno without knowing if there is an issue. becuase of that, figures could be way off the norm and possibly cause damanges to the engine.

that looks nice and smooth...are u still using an adaptronic Stao?? Y not using its built in boost control??

Oh wait I see an afm so i guess not..I see you still have the Ex manifold though..hows that working out

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
