Which intercooler to pick for a R34 GT-T

[adznight]

Hi, I am having trouble picking a cooler for my R34 GT-T. I currently have a GTR front mount but have decided not to use it and just buy a kit. I'll be running a Power FC, AVC'r, full turbo back exhaust, either a HKS 2530 or 2540 turbine and am looking for between 220-250 rwkw. Any ideas please. Thanks

I plan the same mods as you for my 33, PFC & 2530.

Currently have a full 3" exhaust, and went with the Trust VSPL kit (600/276/75). I'm aiming for a responsive street car.

Have you checked out the locally made Hybrids 600/300/65 $1400? Allot of people will recommend them.

Not as yet but I was looking at the same cooler as you. What did you pay for yours? How does the piping run? I want to avoid going over the fan etc. I would prefer to follow the factory pipes.

If you want to use the factory return then take a look at the RSPL models.

My VSPL (in transit) will require some hacking to the drivers side chasis for the piping. Check out the attachment.

Ooooh thats bad, not the chasis rail.

Probably have a chat to rob77 about his RSPL.

get something like on the HPI project car...pipes are on the same side just cuttin the front bar abit...

I have a greddy/trust RSPL kit. hasn't provided any restriction yet. and no noticable pressure drop. Intake temp remains max 5 degrees above ambient. Took about 2 hours to install and the power difference was immediately noticable. The 440rwkw GTST from JMS Runs a 4inch thick trust cooler. Apex ones look funky...haven't had much experience with them.

if u want 250rwkw dont waste your time with a 2530 or 2540 as u wont get near that with one of them.

AIR sell some good front mount coolers, but y u changing for as the GTR cooler is good for 300rwkw.

I'd just prefer a kit with the pipes ready to fit. I like the HKS Type-s. Seems like a good cooler and I know the piping feeds back to the stock position. I figure I'll just sell the cooler for $650 and get rid of it quick.

wow got me worried! i just ordered the type-s and was under the impression that the pipes go the usual way(over the fan) i hope it doesnt just plumb to the stock pipes??????? can anyone else confirm this?

[adznight]

HKS Type-S for a R34 GT-T plumbs back under the cooler to the original pipes. Thats why I want one, stuff going over the engine bay. You can buy a HKS upgrade kit for the rest of the pipes worth about $800-$900.

Check it out for yourself at: -

(Thanks to Franks for that one, legend!)

As far as I know on the R33's they flow over the engine bay.

Just looked at franks pics it fits nice.But the apexi one fits heaps neater piping and mounting.also the core is thicker.

[adznight]

Yeah I was gonna consider one but do you think I can find a frekin place that seel them? And yes I've checked the main suppliers. Maybe I'm just blind, lol.

Hi Adzmax,

Just keep in mind that the HKS Type S is the Thinnest cooler available. Only 65-68mm? Hope this helps.

[adznight]

I guess it all depends on how muchg boost I'll be running etc. Should be fine for a 2530 or 2540 yeah? What sort of power are these turbo's good for?

[adznight]

Yeah says on the HKS website those intercoolers are good for 184 - 320KW. Thats heaps! I'm not looking for any crazy power. I just want a nice drivable but punchy street car.

Hi i have an HKS type s. im really happy with it. If you wana buy one i bought mine from nengun. It was a lot cheaper than what youll find in shops here. hope that helps

ARC intercooler

but the GTR cooler you have now will work.

Intercooler question. Just fitted my fmic from the group buy. I now have a lot more induction noise, is this normal and what causes it.
