Hey guys, just needed some feedback. Currently got a Takashi 600x300x68, was thinking of going 100mm core to not restrict flow but it doesn't seem to clear. Thinking a 78mm core at the moment, nothing major just like a JustJap cooler. Was just wondering if the 10mm would make a difference and if it's worth it ? Have a R33 rb25det

Thanks in advance

Stao's results are interesting, for some reason the R34 GTT seems very sensitive to any sort of restriction. I know with the standard SMIC, mine was horrible. It doesn't quite make sense why the motor is so sensitive but it seems to be an R34 thing.

Plenty of people seem to have made around 300kW on 68/78mm coolers on the R33.. check dyno results and hypergear threads. Whether their results would have another 20kW with a bigger cooler, who knows.

This is the issue I have when people do back to back tests, they only ever relate to their setup, not any other car, and unless you are measuring temp pre and post cooler you have no idea how much the temps are actually dropping in these situations. I run a cut down 220 x 600 shitty old Jap cooler I ran through the band saw, no dramas here. Would I get a better result with a 100mm core, most likely, but with added lag, plus there is no room to fit it on my car.

If these chinese/Jap coolers actually restricted flow we would know about it, as no-one would get decent results with them. More likely the turbo is out of efficiency and heating the air too much, as that is what I would expect from taking a compressor to it's limits.

I have the 78mm cooler from just jap, and have return flow piping as well although that is a custom job, made 320rwkw at 22psi on my R34. My tuner said that was getting close to the limit for the cooler, temps were starting to climb but nothing outrageous.

Guess it depends what you wanna use it for. 350kw in a street car it would be fine, but if you're planning a lot of track days on 98 maybe it's worth it to go 100mm

Do the R34 Neo specific issues disappear if aftermarket or R33 inlet manifolds are used ? I keep wondering if the I think smaller Neo inlet plenum section is working against performance and needing higher boost pressures (and compressor outlet temps) to push beyond 300+ .

It would be interesting to hear from someone that say put a Neo 25T engine in an R33 with the 33 inlet manifold system .

Long shot but 33 inlets could be a cheap upgrade on Neo's pushing beyond 300RWKW .

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
