Hi,

I have searched the Tutorial and DIY section but cant find anything on FMIC installations for series 2 r33's. Who has done this and do you have a writen up guide to do it properly. I will end up trying to install it anyway but a bit of guidence would be great.

Cheers

do you know the basics of how cooler pipes work? and where they are suppose to go?

or do you want the DIY to get to the pipes and learning how to take them off/on?

lastly is it a return style or hybrid style cooler?

if you were to install it yourself and have no prior mechanical experience like I did

I'd suggest you start 1st thing on Saturday morning as it took me the whole weekend

to put it on without a circular drill to make the hole for the driver side piping. It's hammer time

i'm sure there's a tutorial in the diy section, with pics. S1 and S2 are the same as far as the install. the reo may be slightly different but that has little effect.

here's an install manual for the hybrid style coolers. it shows you the basic steps. its really not that hard.

Hybrid, I will have no issues taking the stock cooler off i will need help though with where the new piping is meant to go from the plenium down past the radiator on the drivers side. Is there fabrication required, such as metal cutting that will require electrical tools? or is it fairly straight forward just need a little persistance when shaping where the piping goes?

    • 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.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
