R33_Rob Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/269333-r33-front-mount-intercooler/#findComment-4585826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

R31Nismoid Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/269333-r33-front-mount-intercooler/#findComment-4591994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBS206 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 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.

Sheriff Wan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 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.

Only issue was that it drew too much currect from my Flux Capacitor.
