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!

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
