Intercooler wise I will be voting for PWR 600x300x89mm and run that with Plazmaman's cooler piping kit. 

I can't fine those dimensions listed anywhere on their site. 
100% sure it's x89? 

Hi Tao , I will contact PWR today about their 600 x 300 x 89mm intercooler .

I went back looking for your posts and noted some dated 18.8.2016 (P 587) where you bought another R34 GTt and tried the typical Blitz return flow and a flawed Japanese exhaust . You were trying to prove to a customer that his setup was the issue not your turbocharger .

I think I'm ok exhaust wise and that 0.82 GT3076R is a reasonable thing but that Blitz return flow has to go and I just want to hear you say that your 3-400 RWKW results have been with PWRs intercoolers and generally Plasmaman pipes . I realize the higher numbers usually come from using E85 fuel . Don't suppose you have pics of these PWR Intercoolers ? Would you consider stocking them .

Also what do you recommend for an R33 as cold air intake . I have Scottys intake pipe plumbed into a Z32 AFM and the std air box and snorkel .

When everything else is "right" I'll look at turbos again .

Thanks in advance cheers Adrian .

 

Just off the phone to PWR , they don't know of any 600 x 300 x 89mm intercooler . They do an R33 GTR one Pn PWR 154641 600 x 265 x 81 rated at 1000 Hp . Has swept back 80mm in/out .

Tao is this the one you mean or do you have a different part number .

Cheers A .

I advise everyone to obtain that cooler direct from PWR. I trailed it is because majority people whom complaint about a boost tapering issue had a blitz return flow cooler and so did mine. Yes I changed nothing but intercooler kits during those evaluations and PWR 600x300x89mm cooler has proven to be the best one out of the bunch. Once again my advise and test data on this matter is general.

I think you missed the part where he said that PWR said over the phone that there is no cooler of that measurements 600x300x89mm
The closest they have is R33 GTR PWR 600 x 265 x 81

So there must be confusion with either your measurements or the one you have isn't PWR? 
Can you list the part number for your 600x300x89mm if you have one?

Part no. is PWI5813 exact measurement in my invoice is 600x300x81. 

Awesome, thanks (Y) 
Looks like that one has 3" outlets as well, are you cooler pipes all 3" or do you run a reducer? 

Alright have the diagrams from PWR so for those that want to know everything .

Core 600 x 81 mm

Tanks 93 width x 70 horizontal length , barbs 76.2 (3") 80mm center above base height .

Threaded mounts on 500mm centers top and bottom .

 

This is interesting in that it uses the same sized core as the 33GTR one but a little longer . The tanks are generic and the mountings much simpler than the model specific 33 GTR one . Think I'll go with one of these , thanks Tao .

I assume that cooler isn't return flow?  How to you plumb it in without cutting battery trays or anything?

 

I'm curious as well how people are running their cooler pipes on the R34's 
My previous R33 had the hold under the battery tray, went over the pits here in Canberra and they didn't look twice at it. However I hear that NSW has more of a problem with it.

@hyper-gear have you done a PWR cooler with return flow piping or similar?
Maybe I could swap out the core and keep the same piping if that's not a restriction with the 90 degree bend.

Im pretty sure the return flow piping is the main restriction, especially with that 180degree bend. Swapping the blitz core for the pwr core but retaining the piping probably wouldnt do much.

This is an perfect example of how important it is picking the right supporting and differences it makes to overall performance.

@vxsr33 This person managed 400rwkw using what looks like return flow cooling and custom CAI.
I love the look of this setup. 

 

Obviously not a blitz though, I think it was PWR

Yeah thats the thing that gets me, seems there is always a few cases of people getting great power with return flow coolers.

I assume that you can still make good power with a return flow, however unroadworthy piping just flows better and helps make power more easily.

That setup looks very stealth. I like it

There's no reason why a return flow cooler couldn't have a decent end tank and pipe connection that flows properly.  None.  It may be the case that most (or maybe just many) of the common ones suck and there's a small number that behave themselves.

I saw one that I think Scotty posted, pipes running under and up where your radiator hoses are, means it will have to be custom pipework but that's not too expensive. Especially if it eliminates the costs of cutting a hole under the battery tray.

I think later down the track I'll just buy a PWR intercooler and some custom pipework to run nice and short without cutting.

You're right I messaged Trent about this on Facebook and he said it is definitely a normal cooler with custom return flow style piping for the stock appearance. Scotty also mentioned that it's possible to make a normal cooler work with standard pipes (no cutting) but it's custom and needs to route around the radiator. 

The other issue that Trent mentioned about this Stagea was that there was 5psi+ of back pressure and by simply removing the cat it picked up better response and more power. This is why Tao says if you're having power issues to drop the cat and that will tell you if its an issue also. 

Hope this helps get you in the right direction.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
