how about HPC coating the cooler pipes?

I don't think it would be suitable for the IC but surely wouldn't hurt on the cooler piping and may also aid in reducing inlet temps as well as achieving your stealth look in the process :D

HPC coating isnt a bad idea, but im going to call a couple radiator repair places in my area and see how much to spray the FMIC and pipping all in their thermo black paint...

cheers

would like to know how you go with this as im heading in the same direction. also bumped into a sales thread where you got urself a stagea/r34 cooler. how did that perform? are you looking for more power now hence the ic upgrade?

cheers?

yea on the stock turbo the R34 SMIC was the best investment... read my thread on the R34 SMIC upgrade...

Yes, now that im chasing more power ie. highflow turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU... a FMIC will be required for the 18 - 20psi boost level... im aiming for 250+rw/kw

If 200rw/kw is your aim, then the R34 SMIC upgrade is the best option!

yeh please do, if it all goes well for you, i will plan to do it, being a P driver witha 33 gtst and a stealth cooler will get LESS cop attention.

Great Thread. Good Luck

Yea for sure, cops will pick at ANYTHING they can just to issue a fine or defect... especially with us "chocko" looking guys lol

Besides it would put a huge smile on my face when i smash a supra, sti, clubsport etc off the lights and my car looks stock as :(

Cheers

Hahaha always the odd one out ay Paul? :laughing-smiley-014:

By painting it black, it will make it LESS obvious to spot and not to mention when driving at night will be virtually invisable...

Cheers

i have an r32 gtr cooler stealth mounted on my r33 and u cant see it unless you go looking for it

just how a good intercoolers should be

does an awesome job cool.ing also

Yea i was considering a GTR cooler.. but for the total cost of cooler + custom piping + fitting, might as well get a TRUST FMIC kit ($795) and get it sprayed black...

Cheers

Thanks for the advise Ronin ill keep it in mind, although for $50 or so, a Radiator repair shop will spray it with their thermal paint and will also aid in cooling...

Cheers

Hey Guys, just got a quote for $10 from a radiator shop to spray an FMIC kit with black thermal paint...

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
