Mega Bump!!!!

Don't try and do this mod if you don't have the lower lip on your front skirt

The extra depth and width of the R35 GTT intercooler means it doesn't fit behind the chinless bar.

*sob*

does any one want to buy a shmick R34 GTT intercooler?

PM me.

Got a quick question to SK and to all those who have cleaned the 34 cores.

Did you just put 50/50 mixtures of metho and kero into a bucket and just poured it into the core?

Whats the process of cleaning it?

Also how would you clean the fins?

The one im about to buy seems a little dirty.

Heres a pic? what you reckon?

my 33 doesnt have any dents lol.. but yea all good.. dont think its gonna affect anything!!!

how about cleaning it?

I spoke to two of my friends n both mention not to bother cleaning the inside, as it will flush itself out.. and the oil will still come back.. ???

but i might just use water and flush something out?

or metho??

Metho and kero in a 50/50 mix is the go. Make up about half a litre, then pour in a bit at a time, give it a good shake so it can get to all areas inside the core, and then pour it out. Keep repeating the process until the mixture comes out as clean as it went in, then you'll know that most of the oil will have been washed out from inside the core.

There's no need to rinse it out with water - the metho/kero mix will dry itself out, being alcohol.

This has been a great read!

I was lucky enough to pick up an R34 GTT Intercooler for $70NZD :P Picked it up tonight.

Some of this R&R (WTF?) and timing stuff gives me a headache tho ;) Im so new to the turbo scene that i really dont know alot about it.

Currently i have a 98 R33, with 49,000km, HKS Silent Power cat-back exhaust, A'PEXi intake and earthed stock solenoid. So essentially still running stock boost. I have a de-cat pipe on its way (yay for no cat regs (YET!) in NZ ;) ))

seeing as i know squat, am i going to have any pinging issues or anything i should be doing to aid with these mods? Will be getting a split dump/front pipe very soon too.

Noticed the bumper and rear end in general is getting rather fuel-dirty, and i know that the 33's tend to run rich when you free them up (is this what R&R is?) So i guess after the R34 Intercooler, some sort of fuel management might be needed.

Has new stock gapped copper plugs too.

Slightly more responsive, not seeing a rise in boost at the plenum tho

Confirm x2.

Just make sure the inner guard bolt/clips are tight. Its lower than the R33 so its tight.

they fit up no probs.

one prob, I suppose, may be the bracket... I feel I bent mine a little to get to fit? cant remember

and they sit low seeing they are 20% larger as such, dayz kit covers that but stock front bar may not

I still use the stock holes for the air feed, just a return feed fmic off ebay now (apexi, for 180sx; I did have the r34 cooler for half a year tho), fits in the stock front airdam perfectly

having trouble tracing the final progress of Sydneykid's 200awkw endeavours; does anybody know where this finished up? And is 180awkw possible with the standard series 2/R34 sidemount cooler? Did SK go a fmic?

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
