Hey Peoples just wondering what a Trust Greddy Front Mount Intercooler for Nissan Skyline BNR32 / BCNR33 GTR be worth?

Specs are 600X300X70 16 row core with 3 inch inlets and outlets

Excellent Condition.

Also what returns KW wise could I expect from upgrading from stock IC to this one?

Here is a link to a post with some pics?

You will get little to no power gain from upgrading to a FMIC.

All a FMIC does is let you a little run higher boost. The increased power comes from the increased boost, not the FMIC itself.

Not entirely true.

You get a slight increase in power from the cooler denser air at the same pressure and better flow design. Engines make their power from the difference in heat between in and out. Cooler air in and same higher temp out = more power.

I usually estimate 2% power gain for a intercooler upgrade at same pressure, but it can vary depending on how good the GTR one was to begin with, this one looks like it has good end tanks compared to GTR.

I guess you know most of this though. Definative answer = I don't know. Guestimate = 4kw atw

If your current setup is a flow restriction, you'll make a little more power.

If it manages to drop you inlet temps as well, you'll make a little more power; though a larger unit could suffer worse heat soak in summer, idling etc.

From what i hear a stock GTR IC is a damm good unit, so unless its a physical airflow restriction, leave it. Find this out by measuring any back pressure, by checking pressure before and after IC.

Prove the GTR one is restrictive then. Cause i, like many others, dont think its too shabby at all for a stock part.

Many many many cars are running into the mid 300rwkw range and still using the stock core.

The factory GTR item is exceptional, i would expect no power gain at all on a stock turbo'd car.

Even on one with GT-SS/2530's.

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
