[also what is the difference between bar plate and fin??

bar and plate are more common on drag cars personally there i think there isnt much diff but tube and fin is the way to go

size doesnt matter too much but depends on ya budget many of my mates have hybrid and work just as good as any jap made cooler but the jap ones are certainly better i use a trust cooler and will only buy jap made ones personal preference.

Thats almost a crazy notion, to get rid of an Apexi intercooler. 450 long is plenty big enough for street use.

The cash that goes into R&D for an Apexi, HKS or other Jap brand name intercoolers must mean that the consumer gets a better end result of more flow, when compared to a cheap chinese copy.

I recently got a 2nd hand Apexi cooler from Japan, and started the installation last night onto my Stagea. The quality of build & finish, the light weight, etc, tells me the brand name items are worth every penny.......

To my untrained eye, it looks like it'll flow a hell of a lot better than even a R34 GTT stock intercooler (which I took off my car last night). Apexi intercoolers are ace.

If you want to fill a gap, grab some big arse spotlights and install them either side of the cooler.

My Dayz edition Stagea came with front spotlights in the large airdam opening of the frontbar, and with the Apexi intercooler on, they fit Perfectly either side. Looks awesome!

Photos will go up in the Stagea thread "The Intercooler Thread" by say friday night. That'll give you some idea to how it might look with a nice Apexi + spotlights......

ahhh... but all i want to see from the front is a mass interclooler...

...all you guys have big front mounts... :P

ok ok, i get the point, well see how it all turns out.

thanks the imput.  :)

Have a quick gander at my photos on page 2 of the Stagea thread called "The Intercooler Thread". That shows how a 450mm wide Apexi intercooler looks in a reasonably open front-bar with spotlights either side......

If you want to know the difference between bar and plate or tube and fin designs check out:

If u r still hell bent on a bigger cooler the Trust coolers will fill the gap and also the Hybrids. I've got a Trust FMIC and construction and efficiency are great but others have rated the Hybrids fairly high too. Sell your cooler to make a little bit up for the loss of buying a new one.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
