Roots, can i ask why you are proposing an intercooler which is 180mm thick?

Alot of aftermarket setups use 76 - 100mm thick intercoolers. Having an intercooler this offers no advantage over a thinner one as the atmospheric air does not sufficiently cool the rear of the intercooler.

Also are you running a factory turbo? This seems oversized for use with a standard T28.

I know this doesnt answer your question but this is another element which you need to consider. Dont just buy a second hand intercooler setup which is wrong for your car to save $200

180mm thick? :)

I dare say the core dimensions you posted are incorrect.

There are several off the shelf kits available from traders on this forum, the majority of which use a core size around 600 x 300 x 76mm, with 2.5 inch piping, which is the standard piping size used on an RB20 or RB25.

roots-james - please ensure you do PROPER investigation before buying parts

Also before starting threads, a quick search and so on.

Logic never hurts either - an 18 centimeter cooler is a little ridiculous when you get a ruler out

Hahaha 180cm!

Why don't you get yourself a mini bar fridge and pop a hose in either end of it. Perfect front mount, may have issue with closing the bonnet though...

Me thinks the measurements are incorrect.

Ahhh mate, i tried mounting 1 on top of my bonnet. Only issue was that it drew too much currect from my Flux Capacitor. :D

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
