Alan, thats a difficult question when we know nothing about your car or its modifications. These intercoolers are a bar and plate design 600 x 300 x 76mm

hey  

 nice price... i want to buy a kit for my r33 series 1

No problem, please email [email protected] or call us on (02) 9545 0532 to place your order.

Thanks

Steve

Anyone that can help....

Just deciding between Type 1 and Type 2.. I dont care at all about the looks, just after the performance and installation ease.. I have a r33 series 2 front bar, will they both fit in snug? with out too much cutting. Also, it looks like the type 2 has bigger end tanks, does this equal a better performing intercooler?

Cheers...

Hi,

I was considering buying one of these kits however I've noticed that on my R33 (S2 Sedan) I've got a washer bottle located where you would normally cut the 3"hole (on the drivers side). So the question is, will this kit fit?

Hi Bunky - We havent fitted one of these kits to a 31 so I cant give you a definate answer.

We have an SAU forum special for the coolers themselves at $175 delivered otherwise.

Steve

thats awesome... how long will this be going for? ie. my car probably wont get here for 2 months.

and will u have the blue piping for the R32 kit??

Hi Steve

Q1 Do these kits bolt straigt up or do you need extra brackets and holes?

Q2 Has anyone got a pick of one of these fitted before the front spoiler is fitted back on.

Can you PM me the details of total cost for Type 2 R33 Kit

delivered to Bunbury WA.

Instructions on how to pay would be good thanks

  • 1 month later...

More stock just arrived.

Note: The Type 1 kits now include chrome piping rather than blue piping.

Regards,

Steve

Plenty of stock available, first post has been updated.

Has this question been answered yet? Some pics or copy of fitting instructions would be great, if possible.

Hi Peter, the cooler pipe runs through the inner guard underneath the washer bottle.

A 3 inch hole will need to be cut to accomodate this in the inner gaurd under where the washer bottle is sitting.

The image below shows what I am referring to, though in an R34 the battery sits where the washer bottle would in an R33.

Please let me know if you have any further questions

Hey Steve, the type 1 and type 2 kits one looks like it has larger end tanks? Any reason why? Whats better?

Also the ones you have for $175 are they the smaller end tanks or larger ones?

Hi Doodz, the type 2 are simply a trust style intercooler with a slightly different shaped end tank and polished piping whereas he type 1 kits use the same cooler as the $175 universal units and chrome plated piping.

I hope this clarifies.

Cheers,

Steve

Is there any chance of getting the type 2 cool just by itself?

This shouldnt be a problem. Give us a call to discuss - (02) 9545 0532

Cheers,

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
