Hey guys i have an R33 GTS-T and it has a stock intercooler (side mount) I'm tossing up wether to get an R34 side mount which is obviously ment to be better or an after market front mount... I am trying to keep cost down where possible but i do want it to be better... and i don't want any extra cop trouble as i use this car as my daily! if anyone has any comments it would be very helpful thanks. :P

if your not planning to run much more boost than stock, r34 sidemount is thicker and will provide that bit more cooling. that being said, you might as well go fmic now, not that expensive and can easily be made legal.

cheers!!! i have installed a turbo smart boost controller and i'm running it at about 12psi it seams to have no trouble holding that and i notice a huge difference!!! but i just want to make sure that it's not hurting my car when i flick the switch. and if i can turn it up a bit more i will... thats why i want a new intercooler... i don't know if there are any other mods on my car. but everyone that jumps into it think it's a bit faster than your usual stock r33... so i wonder........

i have found that my FMIC does a great job in the heat compared to my old R34 SMIC.....FMIC's are legal as i have gone through regency in the past with it on.....no issues there....and its a definite if your going to be running 12psi all day every day...

Speaking of intercoolers, where would some of yous suggest I go to get a front mount installed. Iv gone through the listings and I thought i'd ask for suggestions before I do the ring around.

Thanks, Nik

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
