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.

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.

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.

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

Cheers

Josh

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?

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 :wave:

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE

      I actually have an aftermarket hanger, the detschwerks x1 hanger, but my dw420 has never really sat in it correctly, good to know I can just modify it a bit to suit. Yeah cheers man will definitely have a play with it and hope it solves my dramas.
