Hi all.

Don't really post in here often but for some info on my car, HERE is the link to my circuit car build.

I need some advice on a cooler that suit my needs.

The cooler that I currently have is a PWR and it served me well with a 230kw RB20 setup however now I have a T4 twin scroll GTX3076 turbo on an RB25 and it's struggling to keep up. We were expecting to get up around 280-300rwkw's but couldn't get any more than ~260kw out of it.

I wanted to use a Greddy LS cooler but it too long and will foul with my oil cooler box and all the piping is made custom to suit the PWR cooler. Since there is only a bit of movement with piping I need a better flowing cooler that isn't too wide.

The width of the PWR is 720mm from end to end (the very ends).

I've looked at this Blitz kit from just jap LINK and it is 805mm wide (end to end) so should be able to fit it. Down side is that I need to buy the whole kit and I don't need piping.

Does anybody know if this will support flow up to 300kw or even more?

What other options are there that i haven't thought of?

Oh.. And superlap is in 2 weeks so I would like to get it sorted sooner rather than later... lol

thanks

Russ

Here are some photos before the oil cooler box was build. Just for reference. I'll get some pics of oil cooler box later.

Standard cooler?

People have made 400+ rwkw's with them. I did 302.8 rwkw with them on my old GTR, pretty sure it's suitable for you.

But you may want to re-do the cooler piping as the end tanks of GTR cooler is bent (I'm sure you've seen one).

Yeah don't really wanna go GTR cooler. I know it would do the job but I'm wanting something smaller and less laggy.

What size is the PWR?

Stock GTR core is 600x300x70 can measure ends to ends for you if want.

I thought you'd have no problems with PWR being they're decent than chinese ones.

Look @ RB25 dyno results thread to find out what sort of intercooler have achieved 300rwkw and go from there?

It's nowhere near as deep but it's 600 wide and prob height of 280?

From what I understand the PWR is very efficient with cooling but not as good for flow. Flow is what is causing our restriction...

I'm a little perplexed.

Have you asked Just Jap and see if they'll sell you just the core?

Or ask Otomoto for KKR FMIC? I'm sure these guys should have one in range of sizes.

Just Jap has every size and shape Intercooler known to man.

Maybe I need to ask nicely...

edit: just spoke to them. Nothing that isn't in a kit or any better suited. I think the blitz one will work and I'd just sell off the piping kit.

Have you tested flow yet Russ?

Turbo outlet and then near the t/b?

You might be able to use a xr6 core from Nizpro, they might suit, you'd have to call but they make 350-400 through em and are a different shape.

Also the other problem with Chinese stuff like KKR - you will never get any flow/pressure figures from them.

Bit of a gamble to fork out & bolt it on and find out its no better than what you had

Russ, take one off your ute.

No flow test yet but realistically it's the only thing that hasn't been proven on other setups so it has to be the cooler.

Not going to go chinese. I want something proven to work.

As Ash said, I would test it. The intercooler does not look too small for that power plus its a good brand.

What result would I expect? What cfm would it need to flow for say 300kw on an RB25?

I think the flow restriction is actually in the design, not only dependant on size. looking at the end tanks they don't look like they would flow evenly top to bottom...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
