Just bought one of these bad boys:

https://plazmaman.com/product/gtr-r32-r34-pro-series-intercooler/

Should work well with the -9s and forthcoming e85 / flex conversion.

Thanks to @r32-25t

I am very interested to know how it turns out.  I'm also running -9s, but I think this intercooler may be too big for -9s.

No - not by a long shot mate. (600x300x76mm). These are made as a factory replacement.

You could even go the 103mm. Not really about size but efficiency. Some one with more smarts than me can explain about the drop and cooling..

I think the easiest way to think about it is......you cannot fit a big enough intercooler into the front of a car to reach the point where you would say it is "too big".

Perhaps, But you can also have a lot of extra mass, that's right at the front, making your weight distribution worse and increasing your inertia for cornering, for very very little gain...

 

In other words its not how big it is... its how you use it....

Best Gtr intercoolers I'm looking at upgrading my intercooler and want to get one of the best I can
what is the best flowing/cooling Gtr intercooler available in 100mm thickness
hypertune have a 680mm x 320mm x 100mm core 
plazmaman 600 x 300 x 100mm comp race series
greddy 710 x 300 x 100mm core
which would be best out of those 3 ? Any others that I have missed or that people have great results with ?
 




HPI-jap made
100mm and holding 1000horse

i considered your options but like jap stuff for my jap car

BTW it’s hybrid style fin configuration
(google a pic and you’ll see what i mean by hybrid)

Lol your car is on stands with its ass hanging out? "But it's running" ?  My car was pulled off the road to do a turbo swap. I'm doing the Fab work just like what's happening with Benjis car. WTF has the turbo got to do with it lol? 

Paul's box hasn't finished being setup just like yours so what's the deal?

No doubt when he takes it out you'll get plenty of time in his rear vision mirror waiting for boost to come on ?

That's if the 5s live long enough at 26psi. 

Then you will have to convert your car into a GTS4?

Back on topic, have you got any IAT data for the HPI?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
