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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
