Hi guys.. i've got an r32 gtst, and will be looking at getting a cooler in the coming months. I want to keep to a SMIC if possible... so i was wondering, what are my options.. are there any decent bolt on coolers i can use? I looked at a PWR direct fit one, but i cant really justify spending $1k+ on a sidemount.

Cheers, Phil.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeh no track time, and probably looking at about 170-180ish kw max... but that wont be for a while. Still, i'd like to plan ahead.

So the r34 cooler is a straight bolt in? or requires modding?

As far as i know the piping is different... there are plenty of threads on it, try searching.

I think just needs different return pipe welded on. dont take my word for it.

Also for that power the 34 SMIC will be fine.

You gotta look at cost of cooler and the fabrication to make it suitable to fit and work out if its worth getting or just gettin a FMIC...

34 cooler is not a direct bolt on for R32. R32 piping is opposite to R34.

HKS and ARC make R32 SMIC bolt ons.

Your after 170-180 and it wil do that fine...

It WILL be good up to 200rwkw

I have heard 230rkwk but dunno how correct that is.

Those are the specs of the 34 cooler right?

Sorry.. may fault.. i didnt write my question propperly lol..

I was wondering on what kind of power the stock 32 cooler can handle.. until i can save up and get a new one fitted.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
