Changing Intercoolers For 260rs


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Just checking if any 260RS owners have upgraded the front mount intercooler. I'm looking at buying the HKS R Type though wanted to be sure the one I'm looking at isn't too big and would fit okay with the front bar etc. Any help would be appreciated.

HKS R Type intercooler: http://www.rhdjapan.com/hks-type-r-interco...dard-size-29465

Part Num: 13001-AN007

Type: R

Core size / mm: 600×300.5×103

Why? Is yours damaged?

Nothing wrong with the one I have, I only just had it flushed and cleaned a couple weeks ago when I was getting some other mods installed... that was when I was told I needed a bigger fuel pump and injectors due to the car leaning out after 8000 revs on the dyno.....the stock system is getting replaced with the parts below. I figured since I've paid for the additional fuel capacity I could go for a few more ponies with a larger front mount.

HKS 600cc Top Fed Injector

HKS - Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator

HKS - Fuel Rail Upgrade kits

HKS Intercooler Piping Kit

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

Pair of Z32 Air Flow Meters

The factory unit will not be a limiting factor.

Why do you need the fuel regulator and injector rail? . Bigger injectors will give you more flow and the factory reg and rail is up to the job.

What turbos are you using and what are you goals for the car?

I didn't know the factory reg was good enough, was just playing it safe seeing it wasn't that expensive. The fuel rail is just for cosmetics really...wanted to add some more colour to compliment the HKS adjustable cam gears and racing suction kit.

If you have a look at forced induction and particularly at the dyno section for GTR's you will see that the factory RB26 gear has a fair bit of headroom.

If cosmetics are important then that is an entirely different matter.

Thanks for the headsup, I tried searching for info but couldn't find much and figured for another $300 I'll know for sure it will work and the cosmetic aspect was an afterthought....... as it was it took me a while to find somewhere that said the stock fuel pump was only good for 155 lph, which when you do the sums with the injectors being 440cc and the pump at max 99% cycle it needs just under 157lph... hence the leaning at high revs on the dyno.

.44 * 6 * .99 = 2.61lpm / 156.816lph.

keep stock fuel rail and use nismo injectors. keep stock FPR, FMIC, dumps, airbox. look into nismo AFMS'

keep it looking stock. stock injectors/afms should do 280rwkw ish, what are you pushing? Base your mods off of an R33 GTR, and there are plenty of great threads of what to buy/not to buy, and how it can be done and keep it looking near standard. Forced induction is your best bet for non-stagea specific modding.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
