intercooler install help

[Nozila]

im got my old man to weld some lip/dimples onto the piping which seems to work well.

ive had numerous pm's of people wanting pics of the cooler with the piping on so instead of emailing everyone that asked i though i might as well post it up here so everyone could see.

[bless_you]

nice work noz

i am doint the same thing with the same setup this weekend.

did you use 2 x 45's and 2 x 90's?

thats all i have, but it changes from person to person

but i like yours and has piping blown off since the lips went on?

[Nozila]

cheers mate,

no piping has blown since the lip was welded on. There is in fact 1 x 45 and 3 x 90 piping is correct which once fitted makes it very tight - something that i suggest you would want. I also used the stock piping as you can see from the engine back pics.

NiiiiCE work there fella. What happened with the thermo-fan? Did you ditch it? is it still sitting in the factory position, sandwiched between the aircon core and the intercooler?

I've already got my parts list for my R33 series II GTS-T, and I've had it one day!

[Nozila]

yeah mate its still there, its just that you cant see it due to the size and thickness of the cooler

Good stuff Nozilla.

Have you noticed much of a difference in lag, spool-up time or power?

I'm thinking of running hot air into passenger side of fmic, and cool air up through the plastic splash pan beneath the Alternator etc. on the driver's side. This neatly avoids having to cut steel, and gets that piping close to minimum length. Has anyone heard of it being done this way before?

Oh yeah - I couldn't find how much you had to cut from the back of the front bumper - looks like a fair bit got the chop though . . . . : (

i recently was able to purchase a relatively cheap cooler and decided that the set up that have on my r33 would also work well on a r32. The car is my brothers and here are some pics of what we have done so far.
