hay guys im looking into buying a front mount intercooler for my r34 gtt.

i want to make close to 300kw at the wheels with using the factory plenum.

so im looking for the best cooling option eg shortest piping and not cutting holes.

any advice will be great

cheers

Whoops you said no holes... Plazmaman does them too, but super Exxy.

I suggest Blitz kit, the Cooling Pro kits don't fit too well. Everyone has end up making brackets. On my friend's car, we opted to fitting it higher up which needed the foglight to be shaven.

Pay the difference and go the Blitz kit new.

you need to cut holes with that one?

Also its eBay, some people have had no trouble and some people have. No eBay item seems to be the same even if you end up with using the same brand as someone else's that doesn't guarantee it will work the same as theirs.

Just get a cooling pro kit... done.

If you want no holes, no headache, great fitment, no fking about, no custom brackets, and shit that lines up get:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLITZ-SE-INTERCOOLER-KIT-SKYLINE-R32-R33-R34-HCR32-ECR33-ER34-RB20DET-RB25DET-/320842554529?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab3b4dca1

Bolts up, the cooling pro one requires you to swear at it, make some custom shit and guess where everything goes because there's no manual.

Don't worry about pipework length. It's a myth. Let's look at a 3m length of 75mm pipe. Has volume 0.0044m3. That contains 5.5 grams of air at sea level and 40°C.

When your turbo is coming on boost it will be flowing at least 5000 grams/minute, which is 83 grams/sec. I'm pretty sure that you can see a pressure rise in that length of pipe inside 100ms and probably have full pressure no later than 200ms after the turbo is capable of supporting it. That's not lag. You can barely measure that sort of delay compared to how long it takes the turbo itself to actually spool up.

If you were able to shorten the pipework by a metre (or worse, it had to be 1m longer), the change in the pneumatic delay would be barely detectable against the mechanical lag.

So for easy fitment and no head f**ks buy a blitz kit.

Has any one do a thread on best flow and shorest piping ?

not really, but if you want shortest piping, etc..

  • GReddy Plenum
  • Custom piping
  • GT-R Core

But not really worth it, if you're just chasing under 300kW or so... Look at Hypergear, he is getting ~340+kW with standard plenum, and with a ling long FMIC

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
