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"

:cheers:

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

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.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
