I'm looking to buy a black FMIC, however I'm not too sure what a good brand/quality to look for. The only one I could find from my short search is from just jap Cooling pro stealth series (black edition).

Can anyone verify if this is a good FMIC for my r34 GTT, or can recommend a better one? Looking for one price range between $400-700.

Cheers!

Define "good kit". The problem there is everyone's needs/wants are different. The kit you linked is a return flow one. That means you can keep the intercooler pipework running through the original holes in/out the engine bay, but the downside is that the core is smaller than you can fit in with a conventional design. If you're looking to make lots of power then the smaller core might be a bit limiting. If you're looking to put a front facing plenum on (although I can't imagine why you would) then a return flow cooler would definitely be the wrong choice.

Well i don't plan on jumping into crazy engine mods anytime soon, so something small like the return flow one will be good for now, just wondering if the one from just jap is actually a decent intercooler, or should i not waste my money on it? I want to get at least 200kw within the next year, so will the smaller one be too small, or a good size?

cheers for the info

Any yumcha kit will fine, I made 246kW with a full eBay ling long cooler and ling long piping... there are guys making over 300kW with bing bong spec kits from eBay.

FYI, you can make 200kW on a stock R34 GT-t SMIC no wokkas :)

Yea obviously i brought a plain silver one, either black or silver ones are fine, there both the same as far as cooling wise id imagine. As far as i knew thought they only sold the one type of fmic

man I think the whole "you need a rediculously expensive cooler to make big power" arguement is a load of bs...

Just have a look at the RB30's coming out of Maatouks with chinese intercoolers making redicuolus power and running low 6 sec passes.

Pretty much shuts up all the non believers.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
