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...

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
