Hey guys i dont realy want to cut out the front of my bumper for a front mount so i was wondering if it was possible to set up 2 stock intercoolers for an R33 Gtst i dont know if this can be done but you never know unless you ask and i dont know jack about turbos or intercoolers and would this make much of a diffrence if i could do it?

Thanks for your help

I have an R33 sII 1996

If you do decide to do it, hook em up in parallel to reduce pressure drop and reduce restriction.

Or, buy one of the many readily avaiable front mount kits on the market.

They ain't too exy these days.

You could use this vertically with one end directly plumbed into the stock cooler pipe and the other plumbed back with a bit of custom pipe work. It would probably flow better than an r34 cooler due to the thicker tubes. You will also need to make a shroud to guide the air into it.

I'm on the same kind of path.. I don't want a front-mount (blocking my radiator, and i'm sure the IC would absorb some radiator heat too), I don't want to chop my bar, and I don't want to chop my engine bay or engine fan blades.

So, i'm running an R34 SMIC, and it's considerably larger and freer flowing. If you want to go up from there, the ARC SMIC's are more expensive, but are lighter and even better flowing. (all aluminium apparently).

Otherwise, the link above is one of the few kits around that reuse your existing pipe-work and holes... but that still means running a front-mount. Some kits may not require modding your front bar, but then it's all down to your requirements.

R34 swapout is dead easy. Allow for one hour stuffing around with undoing the hose-clamps and taking the front wheel off. $200 from the FS area, or ebay. =-]

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
