And by the way, I've made some custom exhaust wheels that is for the GTR OEM high flows. They are engineered to support 300 ~ 350awkws region on pump fuel and response will have similar to stock twins. My car's waiting for bits and pieces, so if any one is interested to evaluate please let me know, I will put a special offer for $1200 on both turbochargers.

fk me i wish i didnt have brand new -7's...

Hows the R34 development hack going Stao?, You havn't dynoed a SS based version of the ATR 45 SAT on a rb25 for that yet have you, only the normal ATR45 SAT version?

cheers

Stao, which version did I end up with? The SS based or normal ATR45 SAT?

The SS based SAT made too much torque which my current clutch couldn't hold it. But let me know if you wish to try, expecting to see around 450rwkws mark.

took about two weeks to get my order of a PWR intercooler delivered. It came with a pretty good looking box (they asked $11 additional for that box), polished tanks and pretty neat welding:

Compare to the Takashi, end tanks looks quite similar, except PWR is hand welded and Takashi is one piece die-cast.

However the core interior is quite different. The PWR's cooling fins are neatly 45 degrees angled and dead straight, while the Takashi is all over the places:

So hope to see a difference on the dyno on Monday, and will update results when ready.

Nice video footage. :)

This is a set of rather unusual high flow jobs. Pair of high flowed 2860-5s into ATR28SS15. Its going to a Rb30det engine with Rb26 head. Hopefully they will solve the back pressure issues currently experiencing with GTRS turbine wheel. One more thing that I'm alittle concern is the back pressure in the exhaust system as the ATR28SS15 is ideally made to run on a single 3 inches turbo back system, that GTR is pretty good of having 4 inches turbo back exhaust, still have to be shared with two turbo how ever. I've made some oversized thrust collars for that purpose, hopefully be seeing close to 500rwkws with those once fully running.

Can't wait to see results of this, a guy over on AUS300ZX made 492rwkw on his GT2860-5's so i want to see how much your version can make.

This is the lastest results for our evaluations on intercoolers using 173,000KM fully standard Rb25det Neo motor and our ATR43SS2 Rb bolton turbocharger. The result is intriguing, and I have personally never ever thought it would turnout this way.

The test car (r34GTT) has:
1000cc Bosch injectors
Walbro 470L/H Fuel pump
Hypergear ATR43SS-2 internally gated bolton turbocharger
Adaptronic Plugin ECU
Just Jap's Front mount cooler piping kit
Just Jap's Turbo back 3 inches exhaust
100 cell cat (don't know the brand)
Tuned by Chequered Tuning
Pump 98 fuel

Pressure monitored from both inlet and outlet of the intercooler

Nothing has been changed on the car apart from the intercooler it self. The result indicates the effects of cooler change, this may or may not apply to other cars apart from mine, it obviously does not mean you should be spending more money on your cars, I'm not promoting or in favor of any manufactures.

Result are based on very similar boost levels:

Takashi 600x300x68mm cooler:
267rwkws @ 19psi after cooler or 23psi before cooler

Takashi 600x300x100mm cooler:
278rwkws @ 20psi after cooler or 24psi before cooler

PWR 600x300x81mm cooler:
303rwkws @ 20psi aftercooler or 22.4psi before cooler
295rwkws @ 19psi aftercooler (blue is from Takashi 600x300x100mm cooler)

what Intake Air Temps are you registering?

I wonder if it's more so the intake temp that's promoting more power rather than flow, etc.

That's what it was thinking and asked on fb about temp changes pwr cold to touch. Edited by Badgaz

Other thing it might be worth mentioning is the PWR's core has no inner fins. They are just straight triangular tubes. Which naturally less resistance. That shown up on the power and torque curve after 5000RPM, engine is definitely getting more air there.

Fascinating stuff, Stao. Love the detail you're going to, it is a puzzle. Would be nice to see intake temps logged as well, although the PWR straight fins / less resistance if anything I would expect to see higher intake temps. Possibly on the NEO, flow matters more than temp. Maybe this is to do with the camshaft and how efficiently the cylinders fill/scavenge. The Neo certainly seems like it loves to breathe, I noticed a "seat of the pants" improvement even from having a straight through muffler but I couldn't tolerate the noise so had a triflow put in.. but I'm guessing the JJR exhaust is some straight-through canon type thing (ugh).

PWR uses a design borrowed from the VR4 and EVO's over a decade ago. The little nodules on the inside of the core actually create a larger surface area over traditional intercoolers which cools better whilst increasing flow capacity. The Delta fin(Apexi Style) of the Takashi reduces flow over a comparable 68mm core which also lets it down.

Best cooler to date I have tested is the ARC R Twin entry, flared bell mouth style inlets, flow through knife edged tubes(outside air for radiator). If only you could use the EVO/PWR style core with the ARC core (inlet air) bell mouths you would have it all so to speak. Pity they are almost impossible to find these days.

Do you reckon replacing a Takashi 68mm core with like a JustJap 78mm will cause any differences and be worth it ?

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
