I fitted a full R32 GTR cooler setup to my gtst, complete with factory bov's and recirc pipe, I really don't imagine the 33 being that much different. There was some drilling of holes to bolt brackets to but the GTR utilises bulkhead fittings (for want of a better term) which should make it less defectable. The two pipes under the air filter on a GTR are the turbo outlet to intercooler (larger) and the bov return (smaller). It's actually quite a nice, tidy solution.. grab a workshop manual and have a good look, I've attached the 32 exploded diagram :thumbsup:

P.S. the piping is BIG though, 3.15" (80mm) from memory

Haven't been able to find a good answer (yet) so I'm reviving a dead thread -- hope that's OK! 

I'm taking delivery of a 2000 260RS in a couple of months, and am starting to buy parts now, especially since some of them have a month-long lead time. 

Does anyone have a photo (or description) of the differences between an R33 GTR intercooler and the 260RS intercooler?  I imagine the tabs and piping will be different to suit the chassis, but since the car has the RB26 in it, I assume the core would be the same? 

 

How much work would it be to buy a BCNR33 kit and fit it to the WGNC34?  The options for the 260RS are all thinner or smaller than their R33 equivalents, and that just doesn't sit well with me... ?  It has an RB26DETT in it dammit, it better have a GTR intercooler too!!  ?

Wait til the car turns up. The intercooler will be perfectly adequate for the engine which is no ball of fire. If you plan to modify it with a massive single then you can get an appropriate intercooler at that stage.

      Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
