Hey guys, I'm in the process of shopping around for a new fmic and was wondering about which is the best 'cooler to get. I've been looking at ordering a Trust one from Japan which sounds pretty good but I also saw Xspeed had HKS Type S kits for a reasonable price (if they have them in stock). Which would be the better choice? I was also considering a Hybrid kit as I've heard they are pretty good. But the Hybrid kit is a bar & plate design where as the Trust and the HKS ones are tube & fin (pretty sure). Is there much difference between these designs? Any thoughts guys?

hehe, i know what your on about Loz :P

I think though that Kym (strechnine) has devised a plan after his DIY install.

I will be checking out his handy work and see if i should attempt the master feat :( and if i find it easy enough... Loz, for your birthday...whenever that is... and with Paulies permission... i will do your piping as a gesture of good will :D

God bless,

Nate

P.S - Bday is in May ...... how about chrissy present haha

I will be checking out Kym's install at the dyno shootout on sunday... trying to get all the help he can offer ;)

I will keep you informed though Loz.

im just worried about cutting the Bomex front bar to make the cooler fit behind :(

See you sunday,

God Bless,

I decided to go with the Trust/Greddy intercooler kit. Only gonna cost me $1264 for the kit itself, but that's not including the shipping from Japan which I reckon will be about 19500 Yen (roughly $247 maybe?) Good value!

"paaaaaaaaanch the caaaaaaaant!"

'Good value' as in excellent, not good value as in value for money. It's just one of my sayings, like mintox. Remember mintox? After I've put the 'cooler in I was going to look at tuning options. Would a S-afc be better, or should I go the whole hog and get a Power FC or similar setup as they would give me more tuning options. Any recommendations?

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
