Kym - I was quoted $300-400 from Quickfit in Morley to do intercooler plumbing. The difference in price was depending on whether the cooler was mounted or not... I'm pretty sure that was in mild steel.

RB20LagWagon - 2.5" or 3" for cooler piping really doesn't make much of a difference. It's been discussed in length before with a lot of tech figures and numbers to back it up. The only thing I can suggest is from turbo to cooler, use the diameter of the turbo outlet. From cooler to manifold, use the diameter of throttle body.

Two more things:

1) I have emailed the d2power guy in the attempt in negotiating a group discount but he has said that given the low price of the coolers/kits as they stand (which I admit is pretty good) he would need a lot of people in a group buy to offer any decent discount. So basically that's a no to group buy discounts.

2) I have got email responses from 5 people so far who have received intercoolers &/or kits from d2power and a few of them have mentioned that they are actually a Hybrid intercooler. All of them have said it has very good quality construction and some mentioned good pipe fitment for those who got a kit over just a cooler.

I bit the bullet today and purchased a intercooler and plumbing (red anodized aluminium) kit for the R33. I will pay for that this week sometime and hopefully receive it within a fortnight. If anyone wants to have a look at the kit once I have it, PM or email me.

Modyourcar.com.au has coolers for $550 (on special for another week though or $419) and you can get the mild steel plumbing done for about $400 with fitting at Quickfit Morley. Under $1K :P

Any "performance" or "tuning" shops will always charge you a premium for their services

Sorry I haven't replied until now - I couldn't find the thread again.

It arrived last Friday after getting posted from NSW on Monday arvo. For the price, it's of pretty good quailty but for some reason, they've painted in in a dull silver which makes it look like it's faded and bit dirty. From the emails I've got back from other people who've got an cooler from the same guy, a couple have said the paint come soff easy and polishes up well. The same guy actually sells a polished cooler but just not in the kit. I'll get some paint thinners and polish to it maybe this weekend and see how it goes. Oh and it's heavy (as they all are) - good representation of the thermal mass of air heat that can be transferred to it.

The plumbing is simply fantastic. Three single mandrel bent pieces, aluminium, 2.5" in diameter - good size and should keep a decent throttle response. The cheapest I've seen just the plumbing kit for a 600x300 cooler is $600.

I haven't got a digital camera but if anyone wants to have a look at it, PM me. I'm NOR, Yokine.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
