Hey, I've already psoted this in the VIC section but thought I'd psot for the rest of the SAU'ers out there.

I'm just after some hi-res pics of people who have a R33 GTR or GTS-t with their intercooler piping running from the drivers side where the washer bottle used to be (like in the photo below).

If you could PM me that'd be awesome :worship::cheers:

Cheers.

That photo actually doesn't make sense. Well, it doesn't look like it shows exactly what you're asking for. The turbo outlet pipe is the one that passes over the AFM and bends down behind the headlight. The cold side from the intercooler comes up to the plenum chamber. So I can only imagine that the pipe that crosses over in front of the engine is the BOV return pipe. Someone has put the BOV on the cold side pipe (which makes sense) and had to put the return pipe across the engine to the turbo inlet.

I know what you mean but I'm actually after a picture of the cold side of the intercooler piping passing through the chassis where the washer bottle used to be. :thumbsup:

Have some photos I took for someone wanting to run the same intake manifold as me a while ago.

Do these help much?

EDIT: some of the photos are older, you can see in the first photo I relocated my washer bottle (which is from an S13 I think) to the rear passanger side of the engine bay.

Ah, sorry. I kind of read it that you wanted pictures of an intercooler pipe running where that BOV pipe runs. Not reading too well today, am I. /Yoda

89Cal, you're a legend!! The second photo is pretty much the exact type of photo I'm after :worship: Thanks heaps for that mate, you got PM :thumbsup:

If anyone else has some they can share, let me know :cheers:

Just a FYI - Cutting such a hole in a '97 GTS-t, could end up with you requiring an engineers/VASS cert & major defect. Given the '97 came with airbags etc. It'll be at $1000 adventure at least just to clear it (VASS - $600, repair $200, + swapping parts $$$)

Something quite a few Vic people have been caught out on over the years when cutting non-OEM holes. :thumbsup:

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
