Please Help! Intercooler Selection For My Project Car And Induction Airbox.


Recommended Posts

Hi all sorry if I have posted this in the wrong area

I'm in the process of building a street/track. I have R32 GTS with an rb25det neo conversion. My aim is 300rwkw, I would just like some helpful information with a selection of mods which will help me get goal.

So far the list of mods I have aside ready to put in are

Apexi PFC

Splitfire coilpacks

Z32 afm

Greddy bootst controller prof 2

NKG .08 gap copper plugs

My next step is my exhaust system, do I go custom 3" stainless steel? Or after market eg apexi, hks, arc system? Which will have better flow? It does not matter to me about cost just what will work best!

Next step induction, okay do I keep my standard r32 airbox and change the filter? - upgrade to a r32 gtst ARC induction box? Or apexi pod filter with heat shield? What will be the best option for better flow and cooler air?

Next step front mount intercooler - there are so many fmic around these days it's hard to know what is the best option. I would just like to know if the stock GTR intercooler would be a good choice r32,r33 or r34 GTR? Is there a difference and what would be the best choice? Good flow? Will they support 300rwkw and will they all fit my car?

Not to sure about injectors and fuel pump. Brands & sizes? I was thinking sard 800cc and 040 or 044?

Last part will be the turbo I don't really want to go for a high mount turbo I'd rather stay with a low mount but then again I don't know a lot about turbos so is that possible. A low mount turbo making +300rwkw if so can you please let me know and what will be the best option

Thanks Johnny

exhaust, go a custom job or a premade one, as long as it's 3" madrell it should be aight

go a pod filter in a sealed box with a CAI

fmic, most cores will hold 300rwkw. i run a hybrid gt with 325rwkw. anything jap should work, as will a GTR item

injectors, go minimum 740cc, and fuel pump, go 044 or nismo intank

turbo, go a 3071 or 3076.... you'll have to search hard to see what you prefer.

unless you find an HKS 2835, then just use that

Hey hamish

Thanks heaps mate a lot of useful information here much appreciated champ,

Just one question I heard that the ARC induction box works a lot better than a pod is this true?

Cheers Johnny

For your exhasut, as mentiond above a decent brand 3" will suit you fine.

You can run the arc box or pods, if you run pods have a look at the following item im getting one as i may not have room for a arc box, plus from the look its 90% sealed of from the eng bay. http://jsai.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=264&category_id=18&keyword=r32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29

How do you wont your piping layed out. Thier is a thread in the turbo section on diffrent IC pipe lay outs. personly im getting a blits se FMIC from just jap as it uses the factory piping route and doest clog the eng bay IMO. http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=19401&cat=&page=1

Thier is also a forumula to work out what injector size you need v power (have a power goal in mind to work this is out) as for fuel pump bosh 040 are good and are widly used, plus are in pump.

From whats ive heard look at the garret GT-RS ( i think thats the one), also thier is a rb20 turbo up grade thrad in the turbo section with result from diffrent turbo and mod combernations.

and with your brakes, go for R33 GTST items over the 32 GTR items they are bigger (i think thicker as well). look at Racebrakes RB74 pads, DBA 4000 slotted or if you wont 5000 series sloted rotors (5000 are two pce), dot 5.1 brake fluid (motul) and braided brake lines, and brake master cyl brace (if you plan on tracking it)

There are on line calculators ( google) but 550 should make 300kw but if you have topfeed rail ID 1000s are very popular now and said to flow well at half capacity.

And according to the formula provided by our local Turbo builder you need an intercooler that will flow 700cfm for 300kw - although getting flow rates from intercooler manufacturers sems to be like pulling teeth!

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
