Hey all,

I need help with deciding which intercooler i should go for.

I currently have the Greddy LS/type M kit on my ER34

I was thinking of purchasing a R34 GTR intercooler and have custom piping made.

Will have either a HKS GT-rs or 2835 hanging of the side soon

Power output i'm expecting would be 250-280 rwkws

Which of the two do you think would be better?

Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated

Basically, i'm more interested in knowing if the GTR intercooler will flow better? It will have custom pipe work that will return to factory pipes, unlike the sistuation at the moment.

what you have now is far more suited to your setup.

Your intercooler is superior to the GTR in flow. Have a look inside the GTR cooler and see how small the tubes are, for the life of me I don't know how they make the power. Mind you I'm not talking about cooling ability here as those same small tubes allow the cooler to scrub more heat out of the air. I just think for a street car that only uses small bursts of power that flow is more important since your chasing throttle response and power. I noticed a crisper throttle response from the Hybrid cooler when I changed it over from the Just Jap cooler. Seemed to have more torque and ran smoother in general and it wasn't just me as Luis from Drift Garage noticed the same thing.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
