I'm looking for a suitable intercooler for my R32.

I want around 200rwkws when all my mods are finished.

One shop recommended a 600wx250h tube and fin i/c to use with the std piping.

How effective are intercoolers with top and bottom tanks and inlet and outlet on the same side compared with the regular crossflow type of a similar size?

Does the inlet tank need a divider to take half the charge to the far side of the i/c?

What power can be made before the stock i/c piping becomes restrictive?

i bought one for mine that i don't need to use cause i need to sell it. it is 600x300x80mm thick, very good core with the tanks on the top and bottem. the buy i bought it off had it on a R32 and had just over 200 rwkw's. he said that the cooler is makes the car feel more responsive than stock so they can't be that back.. i'm getting a new end tank because one was cracked. so if you are interested pm me.

They flow well provided they are built using a good design of end tank. In fact can flow better as the distance the air needs to travel to get through the core is shorter, yet cooling capacity isn't harmed as it still cools across the whole length of the core. Really 6 of one, half a dozen of another tho.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
