Hi, I've just bought a Greddy V-Spl cooler (yet to fit it), and was just wondering a few things...

1. Is a pod filter needed (i.e. cannot use the stock airbox) for one of these on a 32 Gts-t?

2. Do u need to cut a hole in the arch (wheel) to accomodate the piping?

3. Is it a simple bolt on, or is a bit of stuffing around need to bolt these things up.?

4. Is a different Battery needed for this cooler (to make way for the piping)?

5. How do these things go as far as radiator flow?

6. How do these rate against the stock cooler?

7. What boost is anyone running with one of these on an RB20DET?

Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers David

1. No standard airbox is fine.

2. Hole in the wheel arch???

3. It's a straight bolt on and only very minor modifications are needed to fit it.

4. All depends on the size of your current battery as they come from Jap land with heaps of different styles and sizes.

5. Your radiator will still get ample air flow.

6. Flow much better than the standard cooler.

7. If the only mod you have/will have is a cooler and say exhaust, about 12 psi would be ample. If you would like to run more boost, it is recommended that you upgrade your fuel system and either remap your standard ECU or get some form of aftermarket ECU.

make sure u have all of the support mods like said above..

get exhaust- prefferably turbo back, i.e dump pipe, front pipe and cat back..

get a panel or pod filter... a fuel pump is not needed if ur running abt 12 psi..

however, a tune is defenite... Get a piggy back ecu if u can afford it like an SAFC or emanage, or even get ur stock ECU remapped...

its all in the tune.. it does not mean the more psi u run, the more power u will achieve..

hope that helps..

Hi, Does anyone know if the R34 VSPL Intercooler kit its going to interfere with the standard snorkel and after looking at the pics of what comes in the kit, do I need any additional piping made up or does it just use the existing piping?

Thanks heaps. Pics if possible of what comes in the kit would be good (if it isnt what is shown on www.nengun.com). I have a cold airbox that uses the factory snorkel at the moment and wouldnt want make it a waste when i get the cooler.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
