The guys that fitted this kit, did you get an increase in performance?

i would also like to know what performance gains people have gotten with this kit..

Is it much more laggy?

wouldnt the GTR cooler be better than this as its already that size if not bigger and flow better due to the bigger end tanks??

jet thank mate!!!! i just install the intercooler look mad feel mad....very nice looking thank...dude

so you just installed it?

Can you feel the difference... much lag?

I would imagin there would be a bit more lag from an rb20?

Ming come out for few runs this weekend.

We got DC5, 200sx, and Supra TT and maybe few others.

druzilla32, whether there is lag or not really depends on what sort of turbo you have and how your ECU is tuned. Its got nothign to do with the intercooler. I dont have any lag problem at all because my car is tuned.

The intercooler makes your pod sounds louder and nicer. It does not change the sound of your BOV.

I can show you mine if you live in sydney.

the only mods i have are catback (get my dump/front and highflow cat in a day or 2) pod filter and boost at 14psi. I dont mind if the turbo slowly shits itself as i plan to go bigger. I am aiming for about 180rwkw.

If i get a reading of 14psi without the fmic.. Will i get a higher reading after its hooked up, say 16psi? Should i turn the boost down then or is it ok cuz the turbo is still only pushing about 14psi..

I want it at about .9bar as i dont often hit boost during the day and at night rarely go over .6bar

If your using a bleed valve you will have to turn it down because the standard cooler drops a few psi where as the hybrid wont (i assume) So if you are running 14psi you turbo is proberby pushing 16/17psi just to make 14psi at the engine. If you have a controller you wont nedd to worry about it.

Jet,

Would you be able to summarise the DIY installation please, including info on cutting the fan blades/ front bumper bar if applicable.

I need to factor in the installation cost in case I can't do it myself.

Thanks mate.

oops forgot to ask you this, Jet.

I have the factory electric fan for the A/C unit, would this need to be moved/ modified for the intercooler fitment ?

eek.. i hope not... I havent realy thought about the stuff i may need to remove.. All i knew is that i wanted a fmic.. so i got one...

I havent seen it yet.. Its getting delivered today :) Im so excited.

So yer, what has to be removed for the cooler?

Any other hints for installation you may want to share? Im gona give it a chop on the weekend.

I fitted my hybrid to my r32 last weekend the only things i needed to modify were:

1. The fanblades and shroud need to be trimmed for the top pipe to fit.

2. Both top pipe and the cooler bottom brackets were way off so i had to make my own.

3.Had to give my gtr front bar a haircut for that to fit properly too.

Other than that it was all good. Took about 8 hours and 10 beers :) It was the first one i'd done.

Well done Ronin. It took me the same time for my r33.

You car will breath much healthier now. Did you notice much power difference?

Pls go to the link below to get some picture. Although its for R33 but it will fit a r34.

i put mine on last saturday.. started at 12 finished at 6.. That included playing a few card games and some pizza :)

I can realy notice the difference when i am by myself at night time... it seems to hold boost a lot better now.. from 4500rmp onwards its way better, + i seem to get better fuel consumption, ALSO i cant hear my car missfire anymore.

I didnt have to trim the front bar or anything. I just moved the horns up a bit.

I will post some pics of it later.. looks awesome. Thanks Jet!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
