Good morning all,

I've been doing some maintenance on my r33 and reckon I can make a convention cross flow intercooler fit custom return piping, utilising half my existing return flow piping.

Has anyone used Mishimoto intercoolers before there particularly the m-line or s-line and how this compares to say a Hdi.

Worth noting used in P98 setup hi teens boost 250-300kw range.

I've used an Mishimoto 600x300x65 mm years ago on my R33 GTR it wasn't any better then the stock cooler. That was later upgraded to a 600x300x100mm which worked ok, car made 410awkws. Pretty much as what you would expect from an cheap ebay cooler, and it was only half the price back then.

Plan was to use something like this feeding the hotside to the top left.

I know 180deg bends aren't ideal but surely one bending over 300mm (my current return flow intercooler is 300mm high and hotside runs underneath without clearance issues)

Is better flowing than the sharp turn standard returns flows run.

If you're after a cheap intercooler that is somewhat decent for the price point, those HDi GT2 cores aren't bad, just that link you sent is of a CT2? 

Haha I was like "what's a CT2 as well"

I think he meant to write GT2 as the stamp on the intercooler on top in one of the pics.

I’m running a cheap cooler and it’s doing it’s job for over 400kw. Think it set me back $200. 

On e85? Cooler matters a bit more for 98

Coolers matter much more than a bit on 98.

Old setup I was making 372kW at the rear treads on a Mainline dyno w/ 1.7bar of boost going through a dim sum bokchoy eBay special FMIC with intake temps of 65+ degrees Celsius however that was on E85.

Would be knock city on 98RON with those intake temperatures.

Intake temps on a hot summers day get up around 50 and that’s on 98 going for a retune in the next couple weeks going to push for 500kw on pump. 
intake temps are always low with mine has great flow and even the water doesn’t go much passed 95 on the track

...and you live in New Zealand don't you ? Define a hot summers day. Ambient temps are quite a lot lower there on average.

? Very lucky, you have quite ideal forced induction weather over there. I consider 30deg C quite a cool, moderate day where I am. Even places like Melbourne and Adelaide go well past 40 C these days in summer.

So by the way where are you located Pattey21 ?

In the ACT. Pretty unfriendly with imports with regards to inspections

    • 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!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
