Fabricate A Return Flow Intercooler And Other Stuff For Me? :)


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

After contemplating getting myself a tig welder and doing all this myself, i thought I'd check to see if someone on here is willing to and can do it cheap for me?

All this would be for my R32 GTST has an rb20

I would be after some return flow piping to fit this intercooler http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19813&cat=298&page=1 with stock piping connections.

Also a new intake pipe with both oil and bov return pipes plumed in.

lastly I'd need a new V-band dump pipe made for the new turbo (kando TD05/6)

Now i realise the chances of any of this being done without seeing the car is small but what are the chances of say the return flow piping? Looking at getting this done first!

Anyone keen to give it a go. Doesn't matter if its done using lobster cuts or bending just as long as it works. :)

Thanks for any help.

I'll do it for you mate message me if interested 0449831518. I can come down there tho it would be easier if you could make it up to Gosford is that possible? Talk about prices and how you want things done when I see the car

Edited by Bsa

if your going to go return flow why dont you buy a return flow cooler??????

like the blitz ones or somthing similer

l

Purely because I'm cheap and that's an expensive kit for the r32 (700$ish) and I'm going to be painting it black too so wouldn't want to ruin one of their kits.

You'll have a msg soon just sorting some stuff out before i commit. Gotta compression test engine first before i begin all these mods! And i tried today and my guage is faulty.

If you bring it up here I can do it. I think the return flow from that cooler will be more expensive as more pipe is needed you also run a risk of crushing pipe on a speed bump. Unless you wanted it to look totally stock. I have a return flow cooler here it's yours for $50 I don't need it anymore. Otherwise I have a gtr cooler in good condition then I'll run the piping over your cam covers will look smick. Let me know what you want to do

I was thinking of something like this guy did http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/331717-r32-return-flow-intercooler-kit/ Looks nice and doesnt seem any lower than a normal Intercooler would be!

The whole point of getting the return flow is i don't want to cut a hole in anything. Want it to connect to the stock piping for the side mount intercooler. Everything will be sprayed black aas to attract less attention.

No I didnt trim the reo bar, but I had to use smallish pipe to clear everything, and used stainless as it was rubbing.

It was one hell of a 180 degree lobster. >_<

I don't have any pic of the pipe that Scott made(absolute piece of metal art) but have a pic of what he had to deal with..it had been more easy if the FMIC was 60mm but i'm a bit slow at the brain and went over the top with 75(actually 82mm on a hybrid intercooler)and it's rubbing against the angle frame you can see in the pic...you can hear it when i start the car but while driving is ok(maybe need a bracket to hold it in place, but it's something for the future)

Feel free to give me a call, pm or sms if you would like some work done. Quality fabrication work and welding.

I can tow the car down here and you can drive it back ;)

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
