R33 Series 2 - Intercooler Question.

[R33Keaton]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if this intercooler (off JustJap) would fit my R33. Its a series 2.

These are the specs: 600 x 300 x 76mm (3" Outlets)

I also need the right piping kit off JustJap too. But am unsure about sizes etc..

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Yeah it should fit, its looks simular to that of the over the block intercooler kits also for sale on just jap. I put the blitz return flow kit on mine, fit like a glove. Ur prob best off to buy a kit.

ohh sweet thanks was just wondering because this one by itself is a larger one im pretty sure. but ill keep having a look on the site.

After having a look and doing a bit of research, it seems the Cooling Pro piping kits are not easily installed and most people are having issues. Need to know if theres any other piping kits that would fit that intercooler, or how to deal with a cooling pro one. Right now ive only ordered the intercooler itself and am waiting/shopping around for pipes etc. ANy help would be appreciated

Most coolers for R33's have the inlet and outlet on the bottom so most piping kits will be the same. The difference is usually in return flow or over the radiator (for lack of a better description) cooler kits. The return flow will utilise your standard piping on the passenger side of the car, where as the over the radiator type will require you to cut a hole under the washer bottle somewhere to run an intercooler pipe up there and over the radiator to the crossover pipe

Theres less work involved with return flow, but you will probably still require to cut the front bar and maybe even the reo bar a bit.

If you are likely to get pulled over and have the police go through your engine bay then I would go return flow, Unless you make the hole you cut for the other type look like its done properly, or get it engineered.

Theres plenty of piping kits on ebay for that intercooler u have, u will have to go with the over the block set up and drill a 3inch hole like cal said.

Thanks guys. Does that mean you.can't have a washer bottle if you have a front mount like my one??

Have a look threw this Hybrid install guide, it will give u some idea of what ur up for with the over the block style fmic.

Not sure about the washer bottle, thats why i went the blitz return flow set up, easier install. no drill holes etc. I only had to trim the reo bar and take some of the front bar aswel.

you can keep your washer bottle with most intercooler kits (piping kits). Mine has a front facing plenum and the way my piping is I had to relocate my washer bottle but I do have 3" piping as well. With my old cooler kit I think I had to cut a mount for the washer bottle but the washer bottle wasnt really effected
