Honestly guys what is wrong with people!! Is it people are jelous of what others have or is it simply they are d**kheads??

Ive had this current GTR a few months now and its already been badged once, and now i come out and it looks like some one has put the boot into my standard intercooler!!

Yes i was going to change it anyway but its not the point!! Now i have to find some cash straight away etc!!!

And what makes more more pissed off is if i was to catch them and punched one in the mouth id be the one in trouble!

Anyway, i havent the cash right now to splerge on a $1000 dollar intercooler...

And my car will be running between 350 and 400 kws after the next tune...

Would this item be ok for what im after?

Or could i run a smaller core?

Or is there any other better options??

Yes ive searched the many topics and i dont want a standard one again. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Can't have searched too hard, that cooler and others have been covered in many, many topics. Why not look in the RB26 dyno results thread and pick a cooler that people making similar power to what you want are using?

Also, cheap/reliable/fast - pick two, you will seldom find all three.

Well either spend the money to have a nice looking good intercooler or buy a second hand standard one for cheaper. Or get a just jap one for cheap

These are your options. Don't go getting angry when people offer you advice

The cheap cool looking aftermarket option that might run into problems

Or the proven one, that still remains cost effective to get polished (or just get a R34 one, they come silver...)

Seen CoolingPro items max out at just over 300rwkw, so be careful what you decide. You only have 2 options really, and 400rwkw and budget do not ever go well together.

I don't really see the point in probably paying more for a new china cooler that you dont know if it will be up to the task rather than picking up another standard one for cheaper but you know will handle the task no problems just for some extra shine. In my opinion unless you want to pay a decent price and go with a decent aftermarket cooler then stick with proven stock.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
