The guys that fitted this kit, did you get an increase in performance?

i would also like to know what performance gains people have gotten with this kit..

Is it much more laggy?

wouldnt the GTR cooler be better than this as its already that size if not bigger and flow better due to the bigger end tanks??

jet thank mate!!!! i just install the intercooler look mad feel mad....very nice looking thank...dude

so you just installed it?

Can you feel the difference... much lag?

I would imagin there would be a bit more lag from an rb20?

Ming come out for few runs this weekend.

We got DC5, 200sx, and Supra TT and maybe few others.

druzilla32, whether there is lag or not really depends on what sort of turbo you have and how your ECU is tuned. Its got nothign to do with the intercooler. I dont have any lag problem at all because my car is tuned.

The intercooler makes your pod sounds louder and nicer. It does not change the sound of your BOV.

I can show you mine if you live in sydney.

the only mods i have are catback (get my dump/front and highflow cat in a day or 2) pod filter and boost at 14psi. I dont mind if the turbo slowly shits itself as i plan to go bigger. I am aiming for about 180rwkw.

If i get a reading of 14psi without the fmic.. Will i get a higher reading after its hooked up, say 16psi? Should i turn the boost down then or is it ok cuz the turbo is still only pushing about 14psi..

I want it at about .9bar as i dont often hit boost during the day and at night rarely go over .6bar

If your using a bleed valve you will have to turn it down because the standard cooler drops a few psi where as the hybrid wont (i assume) So if you are running 14psi you turbo is proberby pushing 16/17psi just to make 14psi at the engine. If you have a controller you wont nedd to worry about it.

Jet,

Would you be able to summarise the DIY installation please, including info on cutting the fan blades/ front bumper bar if applicable.

I need to factor in the installation cost in case I can't do it myself.

Thanks mate.

oops forgot to ask you this, Jet.

I have the factory electric fan for the A/C unit, would this need to be moved/ modified for the intercooler fitment ?

eek.. i hope not... I havent realy thought about the stuff i may need to remove.. All i knew is that i wanted a fmic.. so i got one...

I havent seen it yet.. Its getting delivered today :) Im so excited.

So yer, what has to be removed for the cooler?

Any other hints for installation you may want to share? Im gona give it a chop on the weekend.

I fitted my hybrid to my r32 last weekend the only things i needed to modify were:

1. The fanblades and shroud need to be trimmed for the top pipe to fit.

2. Both top pipe and the cooler bottom brackets were way off so i had to make my own.

3.Had to give my gtr front bar a haircut for that to fit properly too.

Other than that it was all good. Took about 8 hours and 10 beers :) It was the first one i'd done.

Well done Ronin. It took me the same time for my r33.

You car will breath much healthier now. Did you notice much power difference?

Pls go to the link below to get some picture. Although its for R33 but it will fit a r34.

i put mine on last saturday.. started at 12 finished at 6.. That included playing a few card games and some pizza :)

I can realy notice the difference when i am by myself at night time... it seems to hold boost a lot better now.. from 4500rmp onwards its way better, + i seem to get better fuel consumption, ALSO i cant hear my car missfire anymore.

I didnt have to trim the front bar or anything. I just moved the horns up a bit.

I will post some pics of it later.. looks awesome. Thanks Jet!

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
