I got a Hybrid Monster intercooler, and I'd have to say it is an excellent cooler. The polished piping kit looks the goods as well. Installed in 5hrs and the improvement is sensational.

I got it for an awesome price as well, if your intersted PM me and I'll pass your details onto the seller.

It seems these days with out money been pretty good compare to the japanese yen, the price of intercooler kits seems to drop a fair bit.

Like considering a few hundreds buck difference, I would go for a branded intercooler like the Trust one. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Hybrid intercoolers.

I notice none of the responses so far have mentioned the size of intercooler you should use.

What sort of power level are you looking for?

The selection of the right sized flow of intercooler will make the difference to how much value for money the upgrade offers.

The hybrid intercoolers seem quite good from all acounts and they have a few different sized cores availible (don't just assume bigger is better here).

That's a fair call rev210.

I was actually told that a too big of an intercooler will make the turbo work harder and not necessary make more power. Not sure if this is true or not.

I guess it depends on how much power you are aiming for and if you are to decide further down the track to change to a bigger turbo.

Where do you think the HKS and Trust ones are made?

Where do you think they are made? There is a HUGE difference in quality between the HKS and Trust intercoolers compared to the Chinese coolers that a lot of people are selling. I'll tell you one thing for sure, you would have a very hard time trying to sell those Chinese things in Japan. The Japanese customers know quality when they see it.

The Trust coolers are exceptionally good quality. I definately wouldn't buy the V-SPL kit though. It uses an extruded core like PWR or ADRAD. You are better off to get one of them, as at least you can get them in 73mm compared to 65mm for the Trust. The R-SPL however, is an awesome core. Very high cooling efficiency, but of course you have to pay for it.

      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.
