Please Help! Intercooler Selection For My Project Car And Induction Airbox.


Recommended Posts

Hi all sorry if I have posted this in the wrong area

I'm in the process of building a street/track. I have R32 GTS with an rb25det neo conversion. My aim is 300rwkw, I would just like some helpful information with a selection of mods which will help me get goal.

So far the list of mods I have aside ready to put in are

Apexi PFC

Splitfire coilpacks

Z32 afm

Greddy bootst controller prof 2

NKG .08 gap copper plugs

My next step is my exhaust system, do I go custom 3" stainless steel? Or after market eg apexi, hks, arc system? Which will have better flow? It does not matter to me about cost just what will work best!

Next step induction, okay do I keep my standard r32 airbox and change the filter? - upgrade to a r32 gtst ARC induction box? Or apexi pod filter with heat shield? What will be the best option for better flow and cooler air?

Next step front mount intercooler - there are so many fmic around these days it's hard to know what is the best option. I would just like to know if the stock GTR intercooler would be a good choice r32,r33 or r34 GTR? Is there a difference and what would be the best choice? Good flow? Will they support 300rwkw and will they all fit my car?

Not to sure about injectors and fuel pump. Brands & sizes? I was thinking sard 800cc and 040 or 044?

Last part will be the turbo I don't really want to go for a high mount turbo I'd rather stay with a low mount but then again I don't know a lot about turbos so is that possible. A low mount turbo making +300rwkw if so can you please let me know and what will be the best option

Thanks Johnny

exhaust, go a custom job or a premade one, as long as it's 3" madrell it should be aight

go a pod filter in a sealed box with a CAI

fmic, most cores will hold 300rwkw. i run a hybrid gt with 325rwkw. anything jap should work, as will a GTR item

injectors, go minimum 740cc, and fuel pump, go 044 or nismo intank

turbo, go a 3071 or 3076.... you'll have to search hard to see what you prefer.

unless you find an HKS 2835, then just use that

Hey hamish

Thanks heaps mate a lot of useful information here much appreciated champ,

Just one question I heard that the ARC induction box works a lot better than a pod is this true?

Cheers Johnny

For your exhasut, as mentiond above a decent brand 3" will suit you fine.

You can run the arc box or pods, if you run pods have a look at the following item im getting one as i may not have room for a arc box, plus from the look its 90% sealed of from the eng bay. http://jsai.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=264&category_id=18&keyword=r32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29

How do you wont your piping layed out. Thier is a thread in the turbo section on diffrent IC pipe lay outs. personly im getting a blits se FMIC from just jap as it uses the factory piping route and doest clog the eng bay IMO. http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19401&cat=&page=1

Thier is also a forumula to work out what injector size you need v power (have a power goal in mind to work this is out) as for fuel pump bosh 040 are good and are widly used, plus are in pump.

From whats ive heard look at the garret GT-RS ( i think thats the one), also thier is a rb20 turbo up grade thrad in the turbo section with result from diffrent turbo and mod combernations.

and with your brakes, go for R33 GTST items over the 32 GTR items they are bigger (i think thicker as well). look at Racebrakes RB74 pads, DBA 4000 slotted or if you wont 5000 series sloted rotors (5000 are two pce), dot 5.1 brake fluid (motul) and braided brake lines, and brake master cyl brace (if you plan on tracking it)

There are on line calculators ( google) but 550 should make 300kw but if you have topfeed rail ID 1000s are very popular now and said to flow well at half capacity.

And according to the formula provided by our local Turbo builder you need an intercooler that will flow 700cfm for 300kw - although getting flow rates from intercooler manufacturers sems to be like pulling teeth!

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
