Buy expensive cry once, buy cheap cry daily

Honestly, I was. However Someone had this one so I thought why not, 350 bucks.

that being said, i'm dubious of the plazaman ones. The one pictured on their site doesn't look like it'd fit on the mounts.

Probably cools the intake charge and doesn't leak... :P

I think the factory one does that as well.

So calling the phone number on their website and asking them if the GTR intercooler was a bolt up job never crossed your mind?

but isn't the factory FMIC limited to 300rwkw and looses efficiency after that?

I only started worrying about their fit after having issues with this one today. By the time i'd got back in and fnished packing everything up it was after 4, so i figured i'd give them a call in the morning... :yucky:

My Hybrid one does a better job...

Good for you and your car

If the car doesn't go to the track or drag strip when do you get the chance to use those 300+ killawasps?

Just out of curiosity, do drag strips allow intercooler sprays?

Straight from the andra manual

4.6.1 Intercoolers

Must be securely mounted with all hoses securely clamped. No restriction,
apart from location, on air-to-air units. Air-to-liquid are limited to water
and/or water ice ONLY and must be sealed to prevent fluid dropping
on to track surface. Dry ice permitted on its own but housing must be
vented to atmosphere to prevent pressurizing of system. Intercoolers
must be located outside of the driver’s compartment or contained in a
commercially manufactured ballistic containment device and fitted with
a relief valve / burst panel vented outside the driver’s compartment to the
atmosphere.

I try to use it every time I drive the GTR.

It's fairly easy to do especially those long M1 on-ramps we have here on the GC

    • Yes. It's not aesthetically pleasing. And most turbos sold these days are sold for aesthetic purposes (Insta likes/fame, etc). Also its cheaper to not machine it. The hot side is the pipe with hot air in it from the turbo to the intercooler. The cold side is the pipe with cooled air in it from the IC to the engine. Anywhere after the turbo will do. Certainly before the IC is better than the IC. But there is no massive imperative to get it from the turbo scroll itself, or from no more than an inch downstream. Those are nonsense thoughts. The only thing we want is a pretty honest measurement of the pressure at the turbo outlet, and anywhere from the compressor housing itself to the inlet of the IC will read approximately the same thing. Yeah, I disagree with Tao on that one. It's fine for an engine that only runs on the dyno at full throttle (or, equivalently, a drag car that only really runs at full throttle also). But some turbos that are particularly sensitive to overspeed (ie EFRs) would quite possibly get into a lot of trouble if run that way.
    • The sarcasm should have been easily visible. It was dripping off it.
    • Whether the brakes will clear the back of the spokes comes down to the specific wheel, as well as its dimensions (ie 18x8 or whatever else size). You can have 2 different wheels of the same size and one will clear and on the other the spoke design will not clear. So your question "Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"?" cannot be answered in a meaningful way. You need that person to be using the same wheel you want to use.
    • I didn't even bother watching the video.
