Hi! :rant:

Searched the forums but couldn't find any comments on this particular cooler....

Is a Greddy Spec-M Intercooler any good for an R33 with an RB25DET?

Here is a link to one....

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info....roducts_id=5101

Or do you have any other suggestions for FMIC kits around the same price?

Thanks!

Pete :)

you can buy the Greddy M-spec Kit for around $600-$700 brand new. the Intercooler itself is very similar if not the same as a china cooler (i believe the end tanks are different thou).

my personal opinion is if your looking for a cheaper opinion intercooler kit go for it as the piping is spot on and not like the crappy china kits!

the pricing at modyourcar is either really really expensive or they haven't updated it yet. i just went with hybrid kit(really happy with it) because i couldn't justify paying extra for greddy and most people say greddy is good as well but can't tell difference between the two in terms or performance,quality etc for price difference.

Thanks for the prompt advice :rant:

In between checking for replies I was searching the net for prices and come across these web site...

http://www.nengun.com

Alot of things, including the branded intercoolers appear to significantly cheaper than say modyourcar, as Onthehunt suggested ($880 compared to $430 for the M-Spec!)...Has anyone had any dealings with them before?

I'll check the sponsors too, thanks for the suggestion MMM

Cheers,

Pete

there is a thread on here somewhere about nengun and experiences with dealing with them(about 15pages long). general consensus is that they are good but be prepared to wait a little while for your products.

greenline.jp ftw!!! i got greddy kit good quality pipework is acurate everything in kit like new washer bottle etc etc great kit buy buy buy

i think they like 600-700 from like croydon racing and greenline and shit

prices are hell good now considering i paid 1100 for mine back in the day

Might be right on the pipework. The hybrid kit is not bad but i would have like to have seen the pipework done just a little neater, and the instruction as to where to drill the hole on the drivers side on an r33 is wrong. Drill about 20mm further forward. Just my experience.

Good luck with your intercooler!

remeber you got the vspl kit which has a tube and fine cooler, the m-spec uses a bar and plate and the core is very similar if not the same as the china spec core

Thanks for the advice everyone :domokun: ....based on what you said, I will have a bit more of a look at the coolers and different options available....I'll search for that thread on nengun and see what is says.....

Michael, you said "remeber you got the vspl kit which has a tube and fine cooler, the m-spec uses a bar and plate and the core is very similar if not the same as the china spec core"

Is a tube and fin cooler better than a bar and plate cooler?? :P The tube and fin coolers seem to be more expensive in general, but do they perform any better? :)

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
