Fitting This Into An R33

[taiphan]

Hi guys..

can someone please advise me if this can be adapted to fit an r33?

thanks heaps

nearly anything can be adapted to fit something different.

yes it can be adapted, but may be a pain of a job due to the angle that the top pipe is coming out at. it would just depend on the dimansions of the cooler.

easy with some custom piping

that's a great way of getting a FMIC with the stock piping i think personally

Ooops sorry to post dimensions..

Core Size - 520mm x 250mm x 80mm

Overall Size - 600mm x 380mm x 90mm

Pipework Size - 2.5 inch inlet/outlet

Tube and fin design

i m afraid that it may sit too low.. will it?

[mad082]

no. i have seen a cooler with similar dimensions to this in a 33. you have to make it sit higher at the top, not lower at the bottom.

go to an exhaust place and get them to make you some custom pipes to suit as well as fabricate a mount for it. no dramas.

my exhaust place sux.. doesnt have pipe that big

I have a Trust cooler that looks identical to this mounted on my 33, got it second hand so it came with pipes. I got it cos it just plumbed up to the standart pipework. And fits perfectly in the M-spec bar, after trimming the back a little(as with all intercoolers).

how big pipng do you want? you only need 2.5" piping. and thats what they put on falcons/commodores so they should have plenty of that.

the time u spend mucking around with it, it might just be cheaper to buy an off the shelf kit. go for it and good luck, but it might not be as cheap as you think, and the core could suck. is it a top mount core ?

alot of coppers wont write it off as a defect because it plumbs back to the stock piping. its not that much mucking around either... nothing to have a whinge about.

paulr33 - this is a gen Trust. so it wouldn't be too bad in quality i hope..

i am thinking of adapting it to sit where the original sits to hide it a little..

so hopefully it wil fit sidemounted..

don't think it would be too much trouble just the dimension that i am worry about..worse i'll front mount it..

[ctjet]

yes that will fit...

it looks extermely similar to a trust system i used to use... its designed to plumb straight into the standard SMIC piping

[taiphan]

Hi me again..

got the intercooler.. it's freaking massive so gota front mount it..

just wondering.. has anyone eva attempted cleaning the interior of the intercooler?

any tips?

and where is a good place in melbourne for me to get the piping done?

my local exhaust dude is abit usless...

thanks

DIY is the answer, just use silcon bends so no bending of pipes is required, then buy a number of lengths of 2 1/2" steel piping and pvc piping, use pvc as trial then when its right cut the steel piping to the same lenghts.
