Just bought one of these bad boys:

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".

completely apologize in advance for my immaturity...

I must have missed it???  Anyway, we were all 16 once

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....

Cornering? I thought it was for drags.

[sneakey pete]

Oh right i forgot GTR's are actually drag cars

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)

But make exceptions for the -5s?

[r32-25t]

My car runs, everyone I know with an efr just has excuses

Evos, Pulsars, Skylines, internal combustion engines, rack and peanut steering...

How many blokes do you know with EFR's?Paul? His car runs ?

 

[r32-25t]

Yet excuses on why he can’t bring it out, you, benji, half of that thread 

[Mick_o]

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?

[TXSquirrel]

Where is the said IAT data for Plazmaman shared?  I don't think it's in this post...
