[RBTWENY5]

ok im looking at buying a front mount intercooler for my r33 and the measurements are 600x300x180 will this fit my r33 series 1 the reason why im asking this is because he says its for a r32 so wondering if it will fit a r33 and also it has 2.5 inch piping is this too small

Roots, can i ask why you are proposing an intercooler which is 180mm thick?

Alot of aftermarket setups use 76 - 100mm thick intercoolers. Having an intercooler this offers no advantage over a thinner one as the atmospheric air does not sufficiently cool the rear of the intercooler.

Also are you running a factory turbo? This seems oversized for use with a standard T28.

I know this doesnt answer your question but this is another element which you need to consider. Dont just buy a second hand intercooler setup which is wrong for your car to save $200

180mm thick?

I dare say the core dimensions you posted are incorrect.

There are several off the shelf kits available from traders on this forum, the majority of which use a core size around 600 x 300 x 76mm, with 2.5 inch piping, which is the standard piping size used on an RB20 or RB25.

roots-james - please ensure you do PROPER investigation before buying parts

Also before starting threads, a quick search and so on.

Logic never hurts either - an 18 centimeter cooler is a little ridiculous when you get a ruler out

I don't see a 180cm cooler fitting...

I have a 100mm cooler, and it fits, with just a tiny bit of room to spare. (And I mean just)

Hahaha 180cm!

Why don't you get yourself a mini bar fridge and pop a hose in either end of it. Perfect front mount, may have issue with closing the bonnet though...

Me thinks the measurements are incorrect.

Ahhh mate, i tried mounting 1 on top of my bonnet. Only issue was that it drew too much currect from my Flux Capacitor.
