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 .

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
