lol im cheap cos im unemplyed lol. and my dad doesnt believe in mods :laugh:

at the time when i bought my cooler kit there were no china kits around and still the hybrid kits were like 800 or so.... so i was like mmm ill pay extra and get quality

plus at that price with the hybrids some touched bonnets and fans

but yer over the last 1.3-4 years coolers have been hell popluar and hell cheap but yer...

also mikey made me by my kit as when i looked as his his cooler pipe was touching the bonnet and was close to the fan

also the cooler wasnt straight

mine also sat flush with my front bar which was a bonus :laugh:

the only prob I found with the china kits is that they may not always go infornt of the radiator and the fan (may rub on fan) I prefer full custom IMO .... but thats cause I do my own anyway. Best price is always gonna be the china ... remeber you get what you pay for.

  • 2 weeks later...

time for a bump

I wanna know who can make me a pipe to go either under or behind the cooler then up the factory side.

I have a kit with full piping and clamps etc.. and the only thing bothering me is i do not want to lose the R34 engine cover..

so who are you recommending?

private people who do exhaust and pipework is fine.. just dont want to pay excessively for it.

don't care if the bend costs me 2.5hp in flow at the end of the day

$600 or so from CRC for a Greddy M-spec cooler its worth the extra $$$.... as i have found with most custom/chinacopy piping kit will fit or touch the bonnet and come close to if not hit the fan...

i have yet to see this problem with the greddy piping

ps there is nothing wrong the china cooler itself as im running one with over 300hp its the piping and endtanks i dont like

yep. I totally agreed

got my car back on Friday last week.

Ali piping,; the pipe touch the bonnet & I got about 5mm clearest form the fan, but then I wrap the top pipe so now it just touch the fan. So there is a bit of burr fur.

Doesn’t look so good, but I believe it help keeping the heat away form the pipe.

i just receieved a chine kit i ordered, the welding on the end tanks leaves a lot to be desired, the pipes are about as shiny as my left nut and they have small pin dents all over them, but i got it delivered for less than $400 and im not gunna go past 250rwkw so im happy at that price :/

can be done, I will have a complete piping kit with silicone hose and clamps for sale for $100 in about 3wks if your interested. No doubt you will find a china cooler for less than $200, making it under $300 all up. Let me know if your keen on my piping. Its to suit a RB25 R33 GTSt

oh no i already have everything i need to do piping.. crossover style..

i did the piping when i turboed the satria.. that worked out fine..

but .. i want to go down the factory side instead of crossover the radiator...was thinking might be neater to get a bend fabricated.. but it not.. i don't care.. i do know what i am doing... so will just do it the best way i can... or i will cop out and do the piping the most popular way..

oh and 8OOSTED...i think i have a mate who will be keen on the kit.. fo shizzle

I spoke with a few of the guys from Top Racing and they said that the china coolers are alot better than most people think they are...

Dont fool yourself by buying an intercooler thats $1500 becuase it has apexi writtin on the front.

I'm getting a china cooler next year and I doubt I will have a single problem.

    • Cheapest option, find a NEO head. Put in good springs, decent cams, and send it to the moon. I rev mine to 8600RPM, gets me about 232km/h down the main straight at SMSP bouncing off the limiter in 4th. I've never dared to grab 5th 🥲
    • Gday mate, Personally in my car i run 450kw in an s2 rb25 so also hydraulic lifters and have always run it to 7500 RPM and using some baby 256 poncams with new but stock springs and retainers. While i cant speak on any experience with solid lifters i personally have had no issues with my hydraulic lifters which were just cleaned and set in an oil bath before assembly over 7 years ago. Over 8k RPM is cool IMO and if you are using the stock gearbox or just a box with longer ratios the higher rpm certainly could aid to maintain boost into the next gear as that was always something i struggled with as i have a 3582r also but a hypergear equivalent could aid that issue. In summary i would make a choice on the cam you want to use first then decide which springs and retainers work best with it and then you can toss up if you really need the solid lifters, if the car is mainly street i would learn towards keeping the hydraulic lifters as when installed properly and nothing too hektik going on around them they do the trick.  
    • Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.
    • All of the ECU grounds are to the chassis, the IGN grounds are to the cylinder head and i believe all the OEM body harness are left in original locations, im trying to work out if i can tell if the sensor voltage itself is losing any power to it from the very low ECU voltage. But yeah a manual pressure gauge will help in picking which path to actually chase. Also please dont bully my wiring plan i never designed it to be universally understood hopefully it still can make sense to you, im a wiring virgin.  1 thing i have just noticed the pressure sensor in question relays both pressure and temperature, the temperature reading holds nice and steady despite the low ecu voltage but the pressure reading is the one that jumps around alot so maybe it is really a pressure issue? wiring plan.xlsx
