Guys,

I have now finished off the R34 GTT with the East Bear Masterpiece Collection GTT to GTR bodykit.

All other work is completed except for the FMIC.

I want to use the return flow type, to retain the "over the engine" style intake.

http://www.kudosmoto...-neo-p-944.html

I am going to use the intercooler linked above.

I'd like to get some feedback from the members who have installed this unit in the past.

Has it bettered your response or not?

My car is running factory intake and airbox with an HKS panel filter.

The turbo has been hi flowed and is running a modest 10 psi, making 335HP at the fly wheel.

My aim is to better the response, and cool the air better, not more power.

Has anyone found that installing one of these units, actually increases lag?

Many thanks.

Jim

Hey mate, cant say i noticed a difference with lag or response, it pretty much didnt change, although i'd def recommend one if you do chose to increase your power down the track, especially with a hiflow turbo.

Cooling the air better is how they make more power.

What are you comparing it with? Do you have a fmic now or the standard GTT smic?

I had a Trust smic (bit bigger than the GTT one) on my Stagea making about 220awkw and changed to a Just Jap return flow making 240awkw with a GCG highflowed GTST turbo on about one bar. I didn't notice any increase in lag but then there was a power increase as well.

I have now changed to an HDi Hybrid fmic with a Greddy copy FF plenum on an RB30 so can't notice any increase in lag or response.

If you have the GTT smic now there will be no improvement in lag but it should be easier to make power.

If you have a fmic now I doubt that you will notice any improvements.

It's presently the OEM SMIC.

I'll wait for a few more replies before deciding.

Thanks for your comments so far guys.

(I'm being overly cautious, for good reason. Money!)

That's a pretty good power figure for the stock smic. :)

I've always said they were underrated. People used to go on about heatsoak but that was only ever a problem for me on the dyno - not on the street or track.

Having said that I think the Blitz return flow is a good unit and you could wind your highflow up a few psi and you will notice a good power gain with no noticeable downside.

You could save a few bucks by getting this one instead (the one I had) http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17355&cat=0&page=1

But if money is really tight you could carry on as you are until you are ready to upgrade.

You will see a slight pressure drop it's way bigger the stock cooler your also adding piping but would be hardly noticeable but thats my 2c it is a deffinent improvement over stock the gains will out weigh the cons

I have the Blitz LM on mine. Didnt notice any decrease in throttle response or any increase in lag with the stock turbo.

Putting 300rwkw through it now with no dramas. Keeps the intake temps very low. And removes temps very quick if it heats up in traffic etc. It will drop 20+ degrees in a matter of seconds. Even just giving the throttle a stab and holding the revs a bit higher at a standstill the temps plummet.

On the track on a warm day the temps range from 25-35'C giving it full beans. On the road it, 18-25'C.

im using a big ARC return flow dont know to much about them but have heard after a car was tuned by trent after 15 runs the intake temps didnt change at all

and have seen a few results make over 300rwkw with no problems

havent looked into the other brands much so cant really comment on them and i cant say if i noticed a difference as my car came from japan with it fitted

but when my car was stock with full 3 inch stainless dump pipe and exhaust,metal intake pipe 9psi i raced my friends r33 with excatly the same mods except the intercooler he was using a just jap one

head to head i was 2, 2.5 car lengths in front

not sure if that was the coolers doin or not

hope this helps

Lol companies always give redicolous power increases that will never happen. A cooler isnt a power increasing mod like rurbo its a mod like fuel pump it removes a restriction and allows you to get more power out of the pther mods like a turbo.

At what power level though? up to around 300kw they will both be the same its only once the jjr starts to reach its limits and be a restriction is when that could happen. For instance if its just a relatively standard car and you put one on you wont expect a power increase of 80hp,

main difference ive seen with the arc coolers compared to the rest is after 15-20 dyno runs the intake temps havent moved and the arc cooler is cold on both sides i know as i have one and tested it

but dont get me wrong im sure all the other return flows will be good just saying if this guy can find one i wouldnt think twice snapping it up i was lucky my car came from japan with it fitted i wouldnt like to pay 2-3k for a return flow cooler hahah

Yeah I agree the ARC and other jap brand coolers are better than the china ones and will keep temps down better if I have to buy one again it will be a jap brand, I was more trying to point out the fact that some people think a intercooler is a instant power mod.

Yep, an intercooler is a supporting mod only, for the intended power level that is targetted. All good guys. I am going with the Blitz unit, as part of the final mods. Thank you all.:thumbsup:

Good to hear the blitz turnflows are good for up to 300kw? but how would it compare to the cooling pro option from justjap?

I was set on getting a black cooling pro but im just worried that its not going to be up to the job.

I should also mention I'm planing on getting a HG turbo later in the year and i want to make the right choice now so there are no hassles(i.e. struggling to make the most out of it) later on when tuning the thing.

Thoughts on either cooler for 250 ~ 300 kw applications? - as you can see i havn't yet chosen my ideal setup.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
