Intercooler

[Shaunc]

As I mentioned before I dont no much about cars, and people keep telling me I must put an intercooler in the skyline cause it will improve the power heaps it makes it go alot quicker they say is this exactly true.

will lower intake temps. can increase lag

what other mods do you have?

Basically the way it works is...

The intercooler cools the air that your turbo is sucking in before it goes into your engine. This means that, due to the lower temperature, the air is more compressed. There is therefore more air per unit volume. This means that more air is able to go into your engine and create a bigger bang making more power.

With a front mount, esspecially on RB's, you can get more lag due to the piping going all over the top of the engine. This means that the air needs to stay at that particular pressure for longer to get into the engine creating longer lag. If you shorten the piping with a different intake plenum. eg GReddy, lag will be reduced again as the air has less distance to travel.

Hope this helps.

P.S If I just confused you, or if anyone thinks I'm talking crap... feel free to explain further

Any decent intercooler upgrade will make the car better than the teensy ones that 33's come standard with.

Im guessing they would be alright, i dont know anyone with one but still would be ok i guess, unless someone has had problems with them and wants to correct me.

Im currently using a monza 300 x 600 x 75 cooler and for a cheaper brand its very good and the quality isnt too bad either, im happy with it.

just buy a greddy m-spec kit, cost is around $600-$700 depending where you get it from.

they may be a about $200 more pricey than the china kits, but the quality of the pipe work is excellent and you know it will bolt in no problems. also the greddy endtanks are better than the china coolers endtanks

just my 2cents

Trust M spec Ones are really good

No cutting of the fan.... really good quality

my mate has a cooling pro kit and trust just seems to fit better.....

I always find it funny when places sell intercooler kits advertised as "Easy DIY installation" and then charge basically the same price as the kit to install it... obviously isn't that easy lol.

[MMM]

if your keeping car relativly stock i wouldnt worry about putting one on.. you wont notice any power increases if thats the only mod your planing to do..

but i would chuck one on if you wanna chuck some more boost into etc etc

also Fmic look awsome

ps pay someone to do it.. its not as easy as everyone says it is to put on

if you buy a jap kit that is made for your car (not a generic china one) it is pretty easy
