hey, i have no point to upgrade my cooler as it flows nicely enough to hold my current power. But i wish to have the silver look. has anyone stripped one before and found the best ways in doing so and did they polish the end tanks up ?? and where should i go if i dont have much luck in my attempts to strip it..

Thanks for your time. Appreciate it.

Chris.

hate to argue strutto, but painted aluminium is far worse at heat exchange than the raw alloy.... just think to early 80's F1 cars and CART cars... no paint there! GTR man 1992 got it in one.... it is insulation, and is not good at all, the only reason cars had it was asthetics... i.e. to blend in... same deal for competion radiators etc...

so if you can strip it safely ( i.e. not harming the metal, do it....)

No problems williamsf1... Healthy discussion is - well healthy :)

I'm really only going off what I've read about the traps... I understand the principles but I'm not sure I could explain it...

What you've said makes sense though... I'm happy to leave it at that...

The factory GTR coolers are painted though? As opposed to anodized or something?

FWIW my cooler is raw alloy :rofl:

If you are after the best possible result, take it to a plating business, by which i mean chroming/anodizing etc. just get them to dip it in one of their stripping/cleaning vats. the result will be far better than anything youll be able to achieve, and it would have cleaned it inside and out. ive done this before with various parts and have never been disappointed.

its cheap, and saves you the time and trouble.

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
