Front Mount

[32_PWR]

Just put a 600x300x100 front mount on my RB20 and the car doesnt feel as fast as it did with the stock cooler anyone help me out

Go get a tune?

You've changed the car setup, intake temps etc. You need a tune.

[Mitcho_7]

You would expect this to be the case because you have more pipe length for the air to travel through compared to the stock side mount. Probably would be worth getting a tune to tidy it up.

100mm drag cooler for a 20?

[32_PWR]

It was goin cheap so I got it cheers guys I'll go get a tune

[R31Nismoid]

Overall though don't be surprised if it's still a bit lazy'laggy even after a tune.

As scotty said a 100m cooler, is not really a smart choice regardless of price.

Probably would've been better to sell and buy something more appropriate.

If you haven't made any other changes you won't even be able to "get a tune" so you will really need to revert to stock set up. Installation of FMIC is well over-rated.

[Super Drager]

still on standard boost? turn it up and tune it and it'll feel faster.

[32_PWR]

Yeah just got the car so goin to get a boost controller nxt week wat u reckon it's safe to turn up to with stock turbo

[JustinP]

I would just put the stock intercooler back on. If everything else is standard that was not a good first choice of modifications.

Take that 100 mm cooler off and buy a gtr cooler or something better. 100 mm cooler will make no improvement to a stock 20 or wouldn't even suite a highly modified 20

[32_PWR]

The car is almost stock. Splitfire coil packs full kakimoto exhaust everything else is stock do u guys reckon a 600x300x76 fmic is to big

[Bsa]

That will be better I was running one on my 32 rb20 and had good results but I still suggest a gtr cooler they are 600x300x65 I'm fairly sure plus they are cheap

[GTScotT]

I always liked the stock cooler with the stock or R33 turbo on the RB20.

If you dont plan to do many mods Id just put the stock cooler back on and sell this one like the guys are telling you.

An R34 sidemount will be a good upgrade for it and will be a good match to the stock turbo on say 12psi. You will probably get away without a tune too, just put it on a dyno to check AFR's and keep rocking.

Well you may as well leave the 100mm in now that it's installed , wind up the boost to 12 psi and see what it feels like.

Intercooler upgrade is a supporting modiication, not a power one. It's a modification you perform when you are planning big power upgrades (bigger turbo, aftermarket ECU etc.). If this is not what you're aiming for, then it will probably hinder you more with lag than it will benefit you in keeping the intake charge cool. The standard intercooler has been matched perfectly to the standard engine and will be doing a fine job of the latter - bigger intercoolers with more piping generally result in a laggier feeling engine, but are great when you start pumping more and hotter air through the intake system.

That said, many (myself included) report better performance (or more correctly, a lack of "lost" performance) operating in hot environments and under heavy load after installing an FMIC without tune or power upgrades.

Don't listen to these homos, you have the cooler now go get yourself a t67 turbo, a highmount manifold and plazmaman intake..maybe an 80mm throttle body too..chuck in a motec engine management system and 2 big bottles of Nos.

Wind boost up to 2 bar and enjoy

Or you could weld the actuator shut?

Cheaper and more efficient

1... Cash 2... I don't wanna kill the engine I'm looking at gettin a nistune ecu with a Garret 3540 GTR injectors so should make a bit more use of the massive cooler

lol at the thought of a GT35R on an RB20
