biggest fkin motor you can fit +biggest fkin turbo you can fit = bigest fkin intercooler you can fit ???

sound fair enough ?

there is one rule that says the core volume should be 1.5 times times the engine capacity

or i can find you the formula that will work out exactly what the size the core should be for your HP but you need to know your airflow , how efficient your turbo is , what the ambient air temp is , and so on .

depends on what the car is going to be used for more than the turbo type. but judging by the size of the turbo I would guess it will be used for drag mostly. in that case a pretty big cooler will be the go. something around 150mm thick, trust, HKS, ARC, they're all good.

i know its not a t51r, but alot of ppl told me i would definatley need to upgrade my cooler, although it is doing a perfect job... i have a t04z making 600rwhp and its a hybrid 600x300x76 LOL... Kev @ Hyperflow was actually amazed when he saw how good it was working.

but yeh 100mm i reckon is plenty, ppl go stupidly big

Depends on how good the cooler is to... U can get a cheap china cooler like mine for $150 measuring 300*600*76 and it might be/most probably be shithouse for any turbo and boost level over 12psi lol but it looks hektik up front.

If you get a well designed cooler measuring the same it will do a better job at cooling the charged air.

I was reading HPI... Don't burn me, but it said a really good cooler that does a really good job at cooling the charged air kills the air flow to ur radiator which in turn takes ur intake temp down, but ur engine runs hotter so it all depends on how serious u r at how much power/life u want to be getting out of ur engine.

I have also heard thicker is better lol... Especially when it comes to intercoolers.

If u have gone to the effort and cost of building a tough RB30E or even more expensive RB30DET don't skimp on parts now. U may aswell get the best out of it.

Call somewhere who makes intercoolers.. Its their business to know and get the best out of their product. Call workshops with import drag cars.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
