Coolers

[Sub_woolfer]

Wanting to put in an intercooler on a RB25DET. Does anyone have any advice?

1) are the r33 gtr and gts-t intercoolers directly interchangable without changing the mounts or piping?

2) is it posible for the RB25DET to make that crazy noise the RB20s in the VLs make? If so, what needs to be done to the engine for it to do this?

Any other general comments are appreciated.

not sure about your first question.

but your second is knowen as "wastegate Flutter" with is bad for your turbo.

...as far as getting a GTR cooler, im sure they are interchangable. From what i understand the GTR cooler is bigger than the GTST one....

the GTR cooler u will need the piping and the cooler (front mount) also the impact bar infront of it if u want to get it to fit with out chopping.

this means u can get engineers cert

the flutter si due to the vl's not having a BOV. so remove your bov (and just put a plate over the hole) and you will have the same flutter. then welcome yourself to the world of lag on gear changes.

The factory GTR intercooler is a great peice of gear, with proven flow ability but for the money, you would be better served buying a complete off the shelf kit from the likes of Just Jap as the GTR cooler will require custom piping and brackets etc.

A cheaper option is putting an R34 GT-T cooler in. It's a side-mount like the R33 is, but the R34 cooler is thicker and flows a bit better.

If you're only chasing modest power gains I'd do this, otherwise go a front mount kit.

why would you bother putting a gtr cooler on when you can get new coolers for $150 and cooler and piping kit for $400. and i think you should do a bit of a search first there are many many topics on coolers. also dont block off your bov for that "sik flutter noise" makes you look like a wanker, and isnt healthy for the turbo.

I just bought a GReddy INTERCOOLER KIT SPEC-R HG for my stock R34 GT-T

that's soooo shiny

how muchie dorra?

[gt-t_r34]

i say get one of those new greddy m-spec ones there cheap and good quality i think there around the 700 mark too or theres always hybrid for around 600 and there pretty good too.

[R34-GTT]

Not much man only $1200 delivered plus its going to cost me around $400 to install it

that's soooo shiny

Is that the kit that requires to chop the battery tray or does it run the pipes through the existing pipes?

this would be pretty much a waste of time and money especialy if you live in a hot part of aus.

the reason you would buy a GTR cooler and get custom pipeing is because of flow and cooling efeciancy. cheap kits are cheap kits. they dont flow, boost will drop and cooling is average.

also the cheap kits fit pretty average and most of the time the front bar has to be hacked to fit it where as GTR ones are made to fit.

GTR coolers are mass produced and have pretty poor flow capabilitys, the fins are very close together. also the $600 for a gtr cooler and then bout $400-$500 to get piping made up is goin to be better than say $350 kit from CRD in sponsors section. For most people unless your chasing like 1000hp or something stupid the cheap kits are fine, also the cheap kits have been tested compared to expensive ones and there is like 2% difference. For me $350 compared to over $1000 to not cut the front bar and have like maybe 2% flow difference just isnt worth it and most people will agree with that.

Wastegate flutter?

lol.

I personally dont know what to do to mine at the moment as I have I think to take the battery and get a smaller one but maybe ill run the pipes to the exsisting one... anyone have better ideas?

[AlexCim]

actually,the r34 gtt sidemount is good for 200 odd rwkw/awkw and wont heatsoak too badly if you are using a stock/factory option front bar which is designed to flow in that direction. using the factory shroud will also help.

i think for ~$200 and DIY install (easy as piss), the r34 gtt cooler upgrade on an r33 is a great idea. this is what i have done second time around on my stagea, first time being a GT-AH cooler/custom piping

[R34-GTT]

Hmmm I seriously dont know what to do
