I'm swapping out my cooler kit for a larger unit. This setup would be perfect for a RB20 or RB25 with upto the 220-230kw mark.

The idea of this kit was to use the factory piping and stuff all cutting the car up. So it looks factory.

It conisists of:

500 x 200 x 90mm (core size) Return flow intercoler

custom pipe work to match stock piping in the guard
T bolt clamps

Silicone joiners from cooler to piping

The cooler cost me $220 last year, piping/clamps/silicone cost around $250.

I'm after $350 ono for the kit. It's near new, its black so its uber stealth and it you wouldn't even know its there. The reo will barely need to be mangled too (just a slight cut on the bottom section).

I'll try get some better pics this weekend of it all.


Located in Liverpool region, will ship at buyers expense.


Adam.

If you were using the Standard cross over piping I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

My kit bolts up to the piping that goes through the guard. Like other return flow kits on the market.

Not 100% sure, but if it has a similar layout to how the RB25 factory cooler piping, I don't see it being too much of an issue.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
