^^ Heaps.

intercoolers aren't exactly very technology-intensive, unlike turbos for example. the justjap ones still have a decent core, they aren't the worst ones you can buy put it that way.

that said i have a blitz CS and love it :D

I bought a JJR tube and fin cooler for my R32 Gtr built motor etc and up when i was getting it tuned when we reached the 300rwkw range with upgraded turbos -9 twins, ecu, cams,exhaust ALL the bolt on mods it started getting inefficient on the dyno couldnt take the repeated dyno runs and cool properly anymore.

i changed to a Trust tube and fin core design ive got photos of these side by side with the JJR and DAMN the end tank swept design, angles everything the way it carries the air into the cooler also looked at it with a led light the internal fin design totally different the Trust had so much more tech inside the JJR looked like a water radiator internal design the air would just pass straight through quickly instead of maybe slightly slowing down that touch to cool or what not im not sure the fins had extra bits on them like extra heat sinks to carry heat away etc etc.

The Trust was so much more superior in all these aspects just looked like that it had the R&D and i gladly had paid for money for this.

Well back on the dyno getting it re tuned with the new cooler straight of the bat the car intake temps were completely different when repeatedly being pushed hard on the dyno.

This time i max the turbos out not the cooler efficiency.

Im no hardcore mechanic ive built a tough 362rwkw GTR slowly and ive tried my fair share of chinse parts. All i can say what ive said above is true i witnessed it and it may not be the case with someone else but god damn it cools way better and has been since the last 3 yrs.

Im not saying JJR coolers are bad in anyway this is my experience i had and i WILL stand by the jap products and this is also with any suspension components as well this is another story and boy the difference their is noticable as well.

All the best guys what ever works for you is great but i love the quality of the jap products and i didnt build my GTR with the scope of scimping on the parts that really count and cooling is major so i addressed it as best i thought possible.

cheers,

Dave

who knows probably not i guess the standard GTR coolers are good for at least 300rwkw ive been told but but unless you are able to meter it like dyno runs repeatadly and check intake temp readings and change who knows mine was coincidence as i bought the JJR cooler just because i had already upgraded everything else so this seemed logical to do.

Just so happened that the whole hot intake charge episode happened to me so i addressed this and lucky enough and more money later got it re tuned and Wallaa!!!, i was in the business car tuned and intake temps beautiful.

id say for power under this the JJR cooler should be fine no probs at all.

cheers,

Dave

Just curious, exactly how much does a PWR intercooler kit cost for a r33?

i paid 930 ish for a custom pwr

630x320x140

piping will be custom when the engine goes in.

i dont find this alot at all compared to some, i had an arc cooler on my s14 (when i bought it) and the seller said it was 2800 or something

coolers are actually quite technology intense although the basic priciples are air goes in and cools, down the design of the fins, bar, plate, end tanks, cooler piping etc is all very important when it comes to cooling charged air temps. if u have ever looked thru the end tanks of a jjr or saber (or any other china brand) then looked thru the tanks of a jap or other high end brand u will see the difference, when i get a chance i will show a pic from my pwr one and a saber one i have lieing around for ur comparison

Gun metal is actually quite true.

In saying that, If you were going to really pushing to get big numbers, its just sensible to put some decent cooler, not just a cheap china copy, as when you're pushing your motor, even the simplest of design flaws can magnify and really effect the performance.

When I was in the market for a fmic, I couldnt source a gtr one cheap enough, so ended up getting a HDi GT spec tube/fin one. Had it delivered to my door for around $450 NZD.

Its good to do alot of reasearch before you buy car parts - which is what you're doing - is great.

Did I read that properly... "not just a cheap china copy" "so ended up getting a HDi GT spec tube/fin one"

Sorry mate, pretty sure HDI are made in China

hdi r hybrid copy's i believe from memory and they r piece of shit. wont take more than 280+.

i figure if ur going stock turbo then it doesnt really matter that much but if ur going after market turbo and stuff then definately go for a jap brand

hamish (joeyjoejoejunior....) runs a HDI.. and is making 300+rwkw. depends what the OP wants i guess

also, Julz.. is your facebook photo a pic of your car? lol i think i found you on a mate's bday event

yah buddy

white r34 with a carbon bonnet in a dimly lit garage with shit piled up 2 feet past my car...then yes add me if u like mate.

which mate is it??? lil george?

HDI is Hybrid (Hybrid Development International)

Furthermore, the bulk of the cheaper intercooler cores all come from the same factories and have proven time and time again that they can handle over 300rwkw, so in the interests of helping other members, lets not confuse your personal opinion, with facts here, because for most street/mild applications the cheaper intercoolers work just fine.

Hey guys, im in the same boat, looking for a new front mount.

Im not chasing massive power so i was lookin at either the blitz se/cs or the greddy ls. Heard good things bout the blitz re value for money.

What u guys reckon?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
