How much power are you chasing? I definately don't know Intercooler size to power requierments, it all depends on the position, type and size.

The standard cooler is about half the size and can cope with about 180rwkw at the wheels so I would say that a 400 by 260 by 65 could cope with 250rwkw+.

Well i was told by con @ c&v performance...Well first i told him that i was chaseing arround 390hp @ the engine and he said ''the bigger the better''.And i said ''how big'' n he said 300 by 600 by 90.U c the bigger the drop in inlet temps the easier its gonna be to make safe power.He also said that its better when playing with the timing to have cooler inlet temps and there is less chance of detonation when running high ammounts o booosto.

So thats it the bigger the better. :alien:

what psi will you be running when the bigger fmic is fitted, as a mate put a larger core in and lost 6psi from 22psi so there may be a small drop to expect too. oh yeah he used a supra core so it was semi quality!!

Theres no big turbo yet im just thinkin about it my car is gettin a respray a kit and maybe a front mount if there is any money left.A bigger turbo is still a future mod.I think i agree with u mcboost that coola is more than ample for a 390hp @ motor in the future.

just bougth a 300 x 600 x 76 from the intercoolguy and they have pressure drop of only .2 psi (yes that is POINT 2) and the whole thing end to end is 800 x 600 x 76

he makes good stuff

:rofl::rofl: :elaugh: :spcartman

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
