I got a Hybrid Monster intercooler, and I'd have to say it is an excellent cooler. The polished piping kit looks the goods as well. Installed in 5hrs and the improvement is sensational.

I got it for an awesome price as well, if your intersted PM me and I'll pass your details onto the seller.

It seems these days with out money been pretty good compare to the japanese yen, the price of intercooler kits seems to drop a fair bit.

Like considering a few hundreds buck difference, I would go for a branded intercooler like the Trust one. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Hybrid intercoolers.

I notice none of the responses so far have mentioned the size of intercooler you should use.

What sort of power level are you looking for?

The selection of the right sized flow of intercooler will make the difference to how much value for money the upgrade offers.

The hybrid intercoolers seem quite good from all acounts and they have a few different sized cores availible (don't just assume bigger is better here).

That's a fair call rev210.

I was actually told that a too big of an intercooler will make the turbo work harder and not necessary make more power. Not sure if this is true or not.

I guess it depends on how much power you are aiming for and if you are to decide further down the track to change to a bigger turbo.

Where do you think the HKS and Trust ones are made?

Where do you think they are made? There is a HUGE difference in quality between the HKS and Trust intercoolers compared to the Chinese coolers that a lot of people are selling. I'll tell you one thing for sure, you would have a very hard time trying to sell those Chinese things in Japan. The Japanese customers know quality when they see it.

The Trust coolers are exceptionally good quality. I definately wouldn't buy the V-SPL kit though. It uses an extruded core like PWR or ADRAD. You are better off to get one of them, as at least you can get them in 73mm compared to 65mm for the Trust. The R-SPL however, is an awesome core. Very high cooling efficiency, but of course you have to pay for it.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
