I'm almost done with my 2.75L stroker single-tubo build. I am planning on breaking in and tuning the initial setup with 3" mandrel exhaust (I had a lot of the stuff already and NONE for 3.5"), and the factory FMIC. I'm pretty sure I'll be past the 500 whp mark on pump gas and will be running before and after IAT sensors in the intercooler just to check to see how it handles the boost / temps of the EFR 8374 turbo. My setup is based around response and for now will be limited to pumpgas and only 21 psi boost. I am thinking that the stock FMIC will keep up with this demand with such an efficient turbo especially plumbed in single (ie - less radiant and conductive heat on piping, etc).

That being said, I will need an upgrade because this turbo is capable of 750-800 HP later at higher boost. What is available to BOLT IN and fit up in the factory location for piping and which is the best for the money? I'm in the USA.

I have this one http://www.arc-brazing.co.jp/intercooler.html (M079) runs at Suzuka 2 hours nonstop (well once to refuel) and it keeps IAT perfect.

The 100mm ones may take away from response a tiny bit, probably overkill. I removed a Trust 100mm drag IC and response improved and temps were the same. HKS make good ones too.

I am in the middle of fitting a 8374IWG like you from 5s on a 2.8 stroker and it should be easily adequate.

:cheers:

It baffles me why ARC don't make the M109 anymore for the 32-34 GTR's.

Thought they had gone bust...

OK I see they have been resurrected:

as much as I like PWR radiators and oil coolers (I use their radiator).. I'm not a fan of their Intercoolers.. just look at those end tanks.... basic bro science says it doesn't flow that well in terms of efficiently/equally

My untrained and non qualified eye agrees with you. I'm interested what GTSboy has to say.

The GTR coolers they do are probably not terrible. At least the tanks are relatively large and have some shape. They probably look a lot worse than they really are.

The top and bottom tank cooler for R32-3 GTSt is just yucky. Those are a bad idea at any time, let alone when not executed well. Will not bang.

The return flow thingo for R34 GTT is possibly worse. Whilst the return flow idea is better than the top-bottom idea of the R32-3.....the execution is just ridiculously amateurish. Just horrible. The driver's side tank is an abomination of epic proportions

Having said that....I had to build (get built) a new intercooler for my car after the original truck cored one (built last century) was destroyed by an elderly Greek f**ker in an EB Falcon. I got a PWR core. The cores are good. I just got the (return flow) tanks made locally to the same basic pattern as my original.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
