Ok guys i'm organising a group buy for the GKTech front mount kits.

Starting 30/5 and ending in 2 weeks on the 13th/5 (or when we have 10 buyers, another GB will be started if this 1 fills)

Kits available to suit

S13/S14/S15

R32/R33/R34

A31

RNN14 GTi-R AND GC8 WRX!!

Details on the kits :

The front mount bar and plate intercooler kits are constructed entirely of high quality 6061 aluminum and the intercooler core is 100% vacuum brazed. The polished aluminum end tanks are hand TIG welded for a perfect fit. The ambient fin pitch has been adjusted to provide an optimal fin density of 15 fins/inch. This gives the intercooler excellent flow properties as well as a large cooling surface area, and the efficient Bar & Plate core takes advantage of these properties. The piping is all mandrel bent and contains only 1 weld mark throughout the whole kit. The kit includes 1x 600x 300x 76mm intercooler, polished aluminimum piping, all brackets, nuts, bolts, tripple layer silicon hoses, clamps etc.

The kits are designed to be installed DIY and are very easy to install.

Features & Specs:

-All TIG Welded 6061 Aluminum, polished end tanks

-100% Vacuum Brazed Core

-High Efficiency Bar & Plate Construction

-3 popular Sizes available

-Inlet/Outlet: 3inch

-Low pressure drop w/ only 0.2psi at 15psi of boost

-Tested CFM: 1020 CFM

Which pic(s) actually relate to R33 S2 kit?

Can we get some pics of the unit installed and comments from people of the last group buy/who have it installed?

When they get their kits and get them fitted im sure someone can post pics..

The pics in the post are the GTS-T kits :D

The kits actually left the post office this morning and not yesterday afternoon. They were dropped off yesterday afternoon but unfortunately due to the 34 boxes that I needed to send out at the same time they couldn't have them all ready before the close of trade :)

Please post up when your kit arrives (should take anywhere from 1-5 working days depending on you location within Australia).

cheers,

Greg

I am pretty sure the Hybrid kits won't fit an SF5 Forester. Oh well :dry:

It really depends on how far the kits off from fitting on your car. If it is only a little bit of mucking around to fit on a different car than intended then it will still be a very cheap option over custom. If it's nothing like the WRX kit then it's best to go custom.

Only you can decide if it's worth it or not.

Problem is I am not 100% sure why it doesn't fit just know it doesn't. If I was in Melbourne I would just pop in for you guys to have a look but being based in Adelaide makes it a bit more difficult for me to do that. If I could russle up someone in Melbourne do you think you could take a look and let me know?

Hi Micheal, unfortunately it makes it very hard as the kit is designed specifically for the GC8 WRX.

As far as modifying it we don't know and wouldn't know until it is fitted to a car which would take a fwe hours to even determine.

If you're in a Subaru club or something like that, possibly someone on there can help? Maybe someone on there has attempted to fit a WRX kit to a Forester, as we just really don't know if it will fit, and can't guarantee if it will fit to a car other than specified.

Sorry for not being able to help you too much :(

OK apparently the kit will fit an SF5 Forester with slight mods, but it maystick out the bottom of the bumper, ideally for a Forester the core needs to be 600x260x76. I have posted a link to this thread on the gtrydaz forum as well now.

Michael

ok, so would you like a kit or?

Common guys, this is a once in a life time opportunity! When are you ever going to find an excellent quality FMIC kit with EVERYTHING needed to install for $400?? Even if after 12 months it stuffs up just replace the core for a name brand and use the same piping!!! you will save $$$ either way...

Regards,

Sarkis

      You guys are amazingly knowledgeable and I appreciate it all so much. I’m currently at the local RB tuning shop, getting her inspected and diagnosed, for the t-case debacle and everything else. I’ll keep you guys posted!

      Like @Dose Pipe Sutututu mentioned, 10W30 on a built motor would not be a great idea. As for the steel wool, we think alike as I went ahead and put SS wool into my catch can as per my above posts.

      I am going to chime in here and say that is very bad advice for a built motor, making decent power of 400kW+ Especially if the rings have been gapped on the looser side. The more power you make the heavier you need your oil to be to be able to maintain that suspension between the moving parts, if not you'll have journals and bearings making love and grenade a motor. Remember that all moving parts inside the motor aren't ball bearing and are journal bearings and require oil to separate the surfaces from contacting.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases are 33100-23U00 which is shared with all of the R32/R33 GT-Rs and GTS-4s. And the C34 Stagea. Do not bother with automatics, that is a huge effort to swap and the car will be worse for it. And an automatic transfer case does not have the right housing for the shifter which comes out the back of the transmission and goes through the transfer case. I already posted my response on reddit but if you didn't see it there here it is: You have almost certainly damaged the transfer case, the only question is how badly. Nobody can tell you how bad without more information. If you have a giant hole in the transfer case pissing out all the transfer case fluid then you need a new one. If it's not that bad then the only question is whether you burned up the clutches. Drain the transfer case oil and inspect for metal on the drain plug magnet. Small black filings are normal. Big chunks of metal or a ton of black fuzzies not so much. Fluid should be nice and red. Any other color isn't great. If the color is reasonably red and there's not a bunch of clutch material discoloring it or anything like that you probably got away with insubstantial excess wear not worth trying to fix. If you have to rebuild or replace the transfer case keep in mind you have to pull the transmission to get it off.
