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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
