New Intercooler is IN.. Woooohoooo

[Jay95R33]

G'day guys,

Well, it's finally in and it fits... JUST.

Big thanks to PRANK and Doctor (Doctor for buying it the first time, Prank for buying it the second time and then selling it to me..)

It measures 300x700x76 core size, and god know what it is with the end tanks, but it fills the front bar very nicly.

Pipe work mets up with the factory ones in the lefthand inner gaurd.

Driving it today with about 37 degrees temps, it felt like I was driving on a cold crisp night.

One thing is though, I think I've got a leak in the pipework somewhere, on boost there is a slight high pitched squeeling that sounds the same as when a mate had a leak in his pipework - and no, it wasn't there before the cooler when it so it's not my tubo (already checked that out !!! ).

Next is the ECU then onto the dyno to wind the boost up and see what she'll do

And another one

[Jay95R33]

OH, on another note.

Yesterday when I got it plumbed up, I took my CAI partition out to make it easier for them.

Drove it around for a while without it in, and my god what a difference !!!

For those guys running a POD without a CAI partition your mad..... Make one up as soon as you can.

The difference on a hot day is amazing, it was so sluggish off the lights it was increadible..

OK, I'll stop crapping on now.

looks extremly fat jay glad to see you getting there with your car. so how many gearb boots and nhand brake boots for a bigger turbo

Thanks Steve,

LOL - I don't think I'll go as far as a new turbo, got heaps of stuff to do around the house now, so sadly the Skyline will have to take 2nd place.

But I'm still on the look out for a new ECU, I'm going to go a R32 GTS-t ECU re-tuned (and a chip added for the VCT) for a R33.

Good luck with the drag's tomorrow. I saw the tyres you've got :eek1: :eek1: Those things are sure to bring your 60' time down.

I reackon you'll break the 13's with a good launch.

Yepp, it's a GTR copy of some sort. I think it's a V Spec copy actually - I think......

The car already had it on when I bought it which was a bonus. I think it really set's the car off.

I agree, that front bar and the cooler looked wicked - job well done.

I dyno'd my car yesterday

Specs:

'95 GTS-T

Cat Back 3" Exhaust

HKS Air Filter

FMIC

2 Stage boost controller

First time i've ever had it done (only had the car 9wks)

7psi = 169 rwkw

12psi = 192 rwkw

Not bad for a first run , I was extremely impressed.

All i need now is a CAI, Side windors Tinted and my driver side window fixed and i think i'll just throw fuel in her for the next 3-4mths.

[soopamarcus]

aww crud....

any idea where i can get my hands on that bar?

What's a CAI???

Thanks

Cold Air Induction box i believe

Its like a partition just for your air filter to get cooler air instead of the heat from the engine.

Not sure on performance increases but im sure it makes the engine breathe alittle easier.

[GiJOr33]

ahhh... well i don't have one!

and my car feels sluggish at low revs...

here's a pic of my engine bay... i need something to pipe some cool air to that fat filter/intake pipe!

[Doctor]

Great work man, good to see some one use it becuae there was no way I was fitting that bloody huge cooler in the nose of my car.

My cooler has been in the nose of mine for about 2 months and I still havent hooked it up. Almost finished though thank god.

Yeah thanks Doc.

I swear this cooler was made for my car. The fit is just amazing. If we ever meet up I'll have to show you

Make sure you check out my thread in the ACT section about Dodgy workshops though !!! I wasn't really happy about the piping that they did for it.

LOL - yeah, the cooler was in for about a week or two before it was plumbed up. My mates called me 'The Rice Master' for having the cooler mounted but not plumbed up.... LMAO.....

Now it's all good - It's not rice anymore..

Yepp, that's it.

It won't give you more HP, but it takes away that sluggish feel after you've been sitting at the lights for a while.

If you make one, make sure it's sealed from the hot air from the engine bay, it's no good if it's not sealed - it's all about stopping the pod from sucking in hot air from the engine bay.
