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.

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
