Hey guys,

Just wondering if this intercooler (off JustJap) would fit my R33. Its a series 2.

These are the specs: 600 x 300 x 76mm (3" Outlets)

I also need the right piping kit off JustJap too. But am unsure about sizes etc..

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers :D

Yeah it should fit, its looks simular to that of the over the block intercooler kits also for sale on just jap. I put the blitz return flow kit on mine, fit like a glove. Ur prob best off to buy a kit.

After having a look and doing a bit of research, it seems the Cooling Pro piping kits are not easily installed and most people are having issues. Need to know if theres any other piping kits that would fit that intercooler, or how to deal with a cooling pro one. Right now ive only ordered the intercooler itself and am waiting/shopping around for pipes etc. ANy help would be appreciated :)

Most coolers for R33's have the inlet and outlet on the bottom so most piping kits will be the same. The difference is usually in return flow or over the radiator (for lack of a better description) cooler kits. The return flow will utilise your standard piping on the passenger side of the car, where as the over the radiator type will require you to cut a hole under the washer bottle somewhere to run an intercooler pipe up there and over the radiator to the crossover pipe

Theres less work involved with return flow, but you will probably still require to cut the front bar and maybe even the reo bar a bit.

If you are likely to get pulled over and have the police go through your engine bay then I would go return flow, Unless you make the hole you cut for the other type look like its done properly, or get it engineered.

Theres plenty of piping kits on ebay for that intercooler u have, u will have to go with the over the block set up and drill a 3inch hole like cal said.

Have a look threw this Hybrid install guide, it will give u some idea of what ur up for with the over the block style fmic.

Not sure about the washer bottle, thats why i went the blitz return flow set up, easier install. no drill holes etc. I only had to trim the reo bar and take some of the front bar aswel.

you can keep your washer bottle with most intercooler kits (piping kits). Mine has a front facing plenum and the way my piping is I had to relocate my washer bottle but I do have 3" piping as well. With my old cooler kit I think I had to cut a mount for the washer bottle but the washer bottle wasnt really effected

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 馃槀 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 馃槳 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
