it may not be factory, but i have seen one before on an R32 m spec. it was making 210rwkw. also came with the electric spoiler.

I thought it was factory.

the one i saw was exactly like the one listed but also had a shroud. it is not a backyard job. look at the end tanks and mounting hole.

Still looks the goods to me

overall heat transfer coefficient for a wall can be calculated as:

1 / U A = 1 / h1 A1 + dxw / k A + 1 / h2 A2 (1)

U = the overall heat transfer coefficient (W/m2K)

A = the contact area for each fluid side (m2)

k = the thermal conductivity of the material (W/mK)

h = the individual convection heat transfer coefficient for each fluid (W/m2K)

dxw = the wall thickness (m)

Aluminium Coefficiant: - 221 W/mK

When aluminium is used as a heat exchanger in ambient air medium

U = 1 / (1 / hA + dxw / k + 1 / hB) (1b)

Taking the total medium transfer to: U = 25.0 W/m2K

even if the air temp in the cores is 70deg C the total increase of air temp traveling thru the second core from the first will be nothing compared to the temp coefficant.

in other words....

it will perform very well.

Well the ARC type are 110mm thick. This is 130mm (2 x 65mm) . The air flows through the fins from frotn to back - shouldn't be a real issue.

It won't be quite as good in cooling as a taller skinnier cooler but it should flow ok.

Might connect up a water spray for hot days...

Way I see it if it can handle 220rwkw I'm laughing.

Benfits:

1. easier to fit

2. looks stock

3. wont lose response like with a FMIC

3. good for insurance etc.

downside:

1.not as good cooling

hmm well i had a r34smic, then upgraded to a fmic (r34 is exactly 61% bigger in core size btw) but maybe i'm not seeing things correctly but that piping (entry and exit points) doesn't really look like it will bolt up correctly to the stock 33 piping?

Maybe its a r32 one? as i recall they have a different piping setup to the 33/34

I put a 34 SMIC in my car, and it pushes right up against the front bar. This thing looks like it would want to sit much further forward?

The distance from the inlet/outlet to the back of the core looks the same as my 33 and 34 cooler, so the extra thickness APPEARS to take more space at the front?

Definitely keep us updated on the flow results! I'm keen to know how much better this 34 cooler is over the 33 one, regardless of the dual-core setup.

cant comment on the stock bar as i've always had a aftermarket one (as pictured in my av) but i did measure back to back the cores (stock 33 vs 34) and from memory the 34 core is a couple of cm taller (so sits lower) and 2cm thicker, but no wider,so would sit a tad forward yes

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 馃槢
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 馃檪 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
