R33 Stock Intercooler

[pushead]

Hey All,

Got a stupid question. Anyone know the dimension size of a stock R33 intercooler?

Cheers

just "under" 600 x 300 x 70 for the core dimensions

woops.. I just assumed you meant R33 GTR intercooler.

if you mean r33 GTST intercooler my answer is "just under PISS SMALL"

[pushead]

hahaa apologise for any confusion was looking for dimension for a stock GTS-T R33 thanks anyway dude

[performance-wise]

Heres the measurements from my stock cooler which was removed last week from my R33 S1 GTST( gun metal grey )

225 x 185 x 59 - core size

350 - end tanks included

55 - inlet/outlet size

As GTST said "just under PISS SMALL"

whats kind of boost can stock intercooler handle?

whats kind of boost can stock intercooler handle?

imo, i wouldnt increase boost through the stock smic. due to the small dimensions of smic it gets "heat-soaked" pretty quickly on stock boost. i mean you can up the boost, but be aware that your smic will get heat soaked even quicker.

invest in a bigger fmic and your away.

hope that helps!

cheers

If you wanna throw more boost into it buy a FMIC or if your not looking for big power get a 34 SMIC (cheap upgrade). Then crank it up to 10-12.

Some real world info for you.

the stock intercooler handles efficiently more boost than the factory turbo can safely put out. It flows reasonably and an R34 variant upto around 230rwkw. Do a search under Sydneykid and stock intercooler, to find his test data.

It won't get even remotely 'heat soaked' if driven on a street / track senario at those power levels (ie: over 200rwkw).

You can fit a better design of intercooler having said that, but like someone has already said get something thats the correct size for the job. My advice is to swap coolers once you have a turbo upgrade/ power plan worked out.

Hope that helps.

I think a stock r33 would go well without an intercooler all together.
