Shane,

You can not go wrong with an intercooler upgrade ( so long as you're getting something good ). Because the FMIC will cool your engine's intake charge better than a stock cooler, you will get better fuel economy and more power for the fuel you use.

The only possible down side I can think of is that the responsiveness of the turbo may deminish slightly.

Just my 2cents :D

I was hoping to hook this kit up myself, but just noticed my aftermarket BOV position & piping, and the piping required for this kit? I wouldn't know what to do with the BOV and hooking it back up again, would it be useable again? or back to stock?

hmm I want in, but when do you need the full money by?

im in brisbane, and have a r33 with stock everything, and whats he main reason from 70mm to 90mm?

I have a custom paint job also, so if I came to you on a weekend would I be able to get it done properly? and how long does it take to get to castle hill from brisbane?

Zoix: you do realise that Castle Hill is in Sydney right?

Hell if you want to drive 12 hours for a fitting job im sure UAS can help you out.

now sorry I'm from north west qld and only just moved to brisbane.

I thought it may be near tweed heads. Guess I'm wrong. but since i loose my license shortly fo speeding(didnt know I was) well I'll ahve to get delievers, but I have 65 months to install :rolleyes:

Damn website host playin around again. (Just changed our hosting companies and having dramas with them). Sorry.

Had a couple of airboxes arrive last week that were unfortunately already spoken for and sent out to hungry customers. John has spoken recently to the inefficient (but extremely good) supplier that makes these boxes up for us to let him know that there is urgent orders for them.

Unfortunately not kik-ass. We have already orderd a 1st batch of these coolers which are starting to come through. Offer still stands to end of this month though.

My order was placed a couple of weeks ago. My deposit hasn't been debited from my VISA yet so hopefully my order still stands. I'm still aiming to complete the payment on Friday 25th July....get paid on Thursday. Please PM me with any details needed.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
