Overall though don't be surprised if it's still a bit lazy'laggy even after a tune.

As scotty said a 100m cooler, is not really a smart choice regardless of price.

Probably would've been better to sell and buy something more appropriate.

I would just put the stock intercooler back on. If everything else is standard that was not a good first choice of modifications.

Yeah just got the car so goin to get a boost controller nxt week wat u reckon it's safe to turn up to with stock turbo

I always liked the stock cooler with the stock or R33 turbo on the RB20.

If you dont plan to do many mods Id just put the stock cooler back on and sell this one like the guys are telling you.

An R34 sidemount will be a good upgrade for it and will be a good match to the stock turbo on say 12psi. You will probably get away without a tune too, just put it on a dyno to check AFR's and keep rocking.

The car is almost stock. Splitfire coil packs full kakimoto exhaust everything else is stock do u guys reckon a 600x300x76 fmic is to big

Well you may as well leave the 100mm in now that it's installed , wind up the boost to 12 psi and see what it feels like.

Intercooler upgrade is a supporting modiication, not a power one. It's a modification you perform when you are planning big power upgrades (bigger turbo, aftermarket ECU etc.). If this is not what you're aiming for, then it will probably hinder you more with lag than it will benefit you in keeping the intake charge cool. The standard intercooler has been matched perfectly to the standard engine and will be doing a fine job of the latter - bigger intercoolers with more piping generally result in a laggier feeling engine, but are great when you start pumping more and hotter air through the intake system.

That said, many (myself included) report better performance (or more correctly, a lack of "lost" performance) operating in hot environments and under heavy load after installing an FMIC without tune or power upgrades.

Don't listen to these homos, you have the cooler now go get yourself a t67 turbo, a highmount manifold and plazmaman intake..maybe an 80mm throttle body too..chuck in a motec engine management system and 2 big bottles of Nos.

Wind boost up to 2 bar and enjoy :D

Or you could weld the actuator shut?

Cheaper and more efficient

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
