Just fitted the intercooler piping from Raf yesterday. Took me two days cos i didn't have the correct tools and had to source for them. Overall, the piping quality is good but u have to cut away a fair bit of the fan in order for the top pipe to go across the engine without touching the blades. Kind of worried now cos i have consulted a few mechanics and they have all discouraged cutting of fan blades.

Also, the clamps given are useless. No way u could fit them in.....Spend lots of time trying to get them fitted but ended up using the old clamps for my original piping.

Also, i couldn't bolt the piece of metal sticking out to the engine to hold the front pipe in place because i would have to cut even more of the fan blades. so i ended up using cable ties in the meantime before maybe getting someone to make a bracket for me.

By the way i fitted them on a S1 R33 with some help from a guy on the forum.

That sounds like a nightmare!!!

I have personally installed 3 of these kits on R33's and apart from the clamps all were perfect fits.

With the right tools I am capable of installing them in 2-3 hours depending on how lazy i am.

It is very easy to install these kits.

Cutting the fan blades is a must on even the origional Hybrid Kits which i have also installed and purchased.

Minimal effect and heat difference is noticed.

Consider that the intake temperature is 20 degree's less.

silver kits have arrived finally!!!! Just going through customs now... I will sort out what kits and coolers I will have left and post it up

[arm85]

So when will they be posted raf?

this might be a stupid question but what did u use to cut the fan blades? can u do it while they are still on the car? anything else you have to cut?

[rmahnovetsky]

I will ring up tomorrow to try an get a precise date. But I have given customs the documents, the money etc I'm just waiting on th warfies to move there arse.

how to cut: try a coping saw

I always used a grinder to cut the fan blades.

As the blade cuts the plastic the heat leaves the blades nice and smooth and even by melting the plastic off.

ive heard some people use a spacer instead of cutting the blades

Its really not worth the extra effort or cost considering the outcome.

[=premo=]

do you have to cut or remove the plastic bit around the fan?

[Slide]

no
