Na, Jez just told me I can't run high boost like I wanted to.

Just fitted 570's and E-manage , he reckons the stock intercooler is holding it back.

I want to run over 20 psi but it's tuned at 16 as there's high risk of detonation.

219 rwkw though,on a safe tune , that was actually my goal.

It appears there's a fair bit more there if I want it, ... hmmm tempting :yes:

re: slim a/c fan.

Can I get any universal slim fan ?

Supercheap auto...

Any tricks I need to know about this install ?

cheers

Yes, any universal fan is fine.

No tricks; just make sure it's turning the right way.

219 at 16psi? that's good. your mod list? i will meet Jez again later on this month

So looking at stock front bumper, only has 100mm slot for air to reach the intercooler.

Looking at the height of them they are around 300mm.

I'm thinking the front bumper restricts airflow .

Will the HDI GT2 pro really make a difference with the small air duct ?

Can't seem to find any front spoilers anywhere for M35.

Thinking of cutting a huge area to expose the HDI completely.

Anyone else done this ?

I will soon have a m35 full aero kit for sale. [emoji6]

i don't think there is much difference if you can DIY with stock bumper for the lower grill. but i'd say aero bumper is much beautiful.

what i am worry about is the big FMIC will block air flow to the poor radiator. i saw the highest temp on stock intercool is 101-102C when hot day then it will go down after the small fan working.

after fit HDI FMIC with 2 thin fan running, i saw 104C degree on hot day and i don't know when will it go down if keep stuck in traffic.

also i will put a big square custom number plate on front bumper to block the lower grill more :rofl2::rofl2:

My engine temps did not change from running the stock tiny intercooler to running an HDi kit.

Scotty's cooling mod, and a larger capacity radiator will improve the cooling system's ability to shed heat.

IMO; the OEM (quite noisy I agree) is far superior to thermo fans for heat management.

I've run a number of different setups using high capacity fans, and custom made shrouds to ensure efficiency, and nothing works better than the stock Clutch fan.

Dolphin front bar for NM35 is unmatched for airflow.

I did notice an improvement in cooling system performance when I changed from the stock "smiley face" front bar to the Aero Kit front bar.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
