Hey guys,

just wondering if ne1 had one of the new (or old) hybrid intercoolers on there car and what they think of it ...

if not what else is a decent cooler to run say 10-14psi???

:rofl:

Hyperflow do the best cooler core on the market. They now do a kit to suit R33.

Pricing is around $1990. This includes all pipework (polished) Clamps, Silicone hose, B.O.V. Mounts Etc.

I have a Hybrid cooler new type limited edition one it more than what I need im running 10psi made a big differents to power and I had no extra lag I would highly recommend one of these for the price they are great.

I have very similar mods to you and have just bought one of the new Hybrid cooler kits off someone on the forums and was initially worried that it was too big... but you don't have any extra lag? has it hurt the response at all?

hey chris keep your eye on the for sale section, you can't go wrong with the brand name jap kits, they mostly bolt straight up... just be sure the size of the cooler and piping matches your level of modification :P

2k is hefty in anyones terms these days for a cooler + bits

GTR items are good, a little more but then a few guys are using hybrids now i think...

wonder if there is a boost drop test or something that someone might have done

i have trouble believing there is absolutely no extra lag..

i have a greddy (smaller model) and there is quite noticable lag compared to stock.

this is what I would have thought, the pipework is awfully big in the Hybrid kit...  how much lag did you notice with the greddy unit siksII?  are we talking like 500rpm later than stock or ??

hey, no not 500rpm,

in terms of rpm there there is not too much difference, i.e say in first gear it will still hit full boost by 3 grand, the difference is in how boost builds..

with a stock cooler car once the turbo starts spooling full boost comes up very quickly, with a big cooler/piping the time between a bit of boost and full boost is longer, so basically is it more throttle response rather than a lot of lag.

my car wouldnt be a perfect example to compare before and after though, as i have adj cam gears, bleed valve and pfc as well which all make the boost come on differently to a stock car.

ah okay... sort of like when I have my ebc turned on and boost starts later but builds quicker... (I believe this is referred to as seting the 'gain'... ?)

I have a rebuilt motor with forgies and tomei cams so I have better than average response... I just don't want to dull it by slapping on a cooler that is too big...

I guess I'll have to try it and see;)

If there is extra lag it mus'nt be much because I did'nt notice any more at all. It would be nice to see a before and after dyno graph the boost curves.

guys, do a search and find sydneykids calculations on lag and heat 'caused' by the bigger cooler and pipework remember at 3000 rpm your engine is consuming 3750L of air every minute.....thats assuming zero pressure difference, adding a few litres of volume is going to make stuff all difference to lag......

i've noticed hardly any difference though i did FMIC, cam gears, PFC, fuel pump and reg, clutch and full fluid and oils change (some top redline stuff) all at once so the car felt beter then new, but yeah, u got a dyno figure or are we all talking seat of the pants here ???

Have you got a pic of the setup, dimensions of the cooler. For the life of me when i installed my Type S cooler there was no difference in lag, the car was actually punchier and with no form of aftermarket boost control my thing picked up 2psi in boost pressure:confused:

Also the R33 GTST which i installed a GTR core on, the thing drove way better then std. Not sure about boost as the car didnt have a boost gauge but to drive the car afterwards to me havingonly driven the car around the block before and after the thing drove excactly the same..the cars owners says it actually boosted quicker...(his words)

So i understand the theory why ppl think they may be laggier with a big fromt mount, but id go as far as to say that somehting is fundamentally wrong with the installation if you can notice a seat of th epants change in response for the worse:(

Unless we are talking about a 600 x 300 x 115mm Trust IC or somehting, even then it woudl be interestign to see if there is a real difference when still punting around with the std turbo!?!?!?!?!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
