is this 2 big 600x300x90?

[gloof]

is a custom 600x300x90 cooler 2 big for a stock r33 turbo?

some would say yes some no, id say no. In rev 210 post of doing a 13 from a stockish r33 he feels the stock cooler to be more effective because you lose less boost though it than a larger cooler. I think a cooler intake temp may be more beneficial as when you mod more you keep getting gains from it.

as for size most up grades are 600, 300, 75 i dont think 90mm is over kill

[sweetr33]

in all honesty i think most items will be better than the stock unit, unless its like some massive drag core or soemthing

What kind of power are you looking at achieving would be nice to know. If your just going to be dealing with the stock turbo im guessing close to 200rwkw? If this is the case then I would suggest IMHO going for something a little smaller (600 x 300 x 65 to 600 x 300 x 75 in size) as the larger core in question won’t really provide any extra benefits when dealing with the stock turbo, in fact it will have a greater adverse affect on overall engine response. The diameter and length of the intercooler piping will also play a major role in determining how much it will affect engine response.

If you only plan on keeping the stock turbo for a little while and will be looking to upgrade to a bigger item in the future then it may be worthwhile going for a 600 x 300 x 90 sized unit (depends in the end what power goal you are looking to achieve and any future upgrade you have in mind). Otherwise, if the stock turbo is all your going to have then I would go for something a bit smaller, as i have suggested above.

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps…

Hmmm, im not sure if that is why he kept the stock cooler for so long. I was under the impression that the stock intercooler would actually have a greater drop in pressure than a well designed larger item (but I guess the extent of this would differ at different boost levels). From memory he was boosting somewhere around 10-12psi, a sensible level for the stock intercooler. I thought it was Rev210’s intention to keep the stock intercooler to retain the greater engine response from a smaller cooler (shorter length of intercooler piping and smaller volume of core). Could be wrong though…

i'm aiming for 200rwkw no more. It's because my mechanic has a core that size and i'm getting it all custom made and then tuned for $1320. It's a great deal but i don't want to lose responsiveness

My Mate has a 600x300x100 on his 33

It has Stock Turbo, Cat Back and Boost Contoller and it makes 200rwkw @ 14psi......

He does have some idling problems tho but as soon as the car is going...... ITS A GUN!

Ive got a HKS GT 600x300x100mm and I havent lost any responsiveness with my stockie turbo, boost still starts to come on at around 2500k if I go a bit heavy of the right foot.

Going GTR soon though;)

[gloof]

how about if i he cuts the core down to 600x250x90

[gloof]

if he cuts the core to 600x250x90

Gloof, I had a similar question to what you were asking before I decided on what sized intercooler I was going to buy. Here is the link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=36533

The link Meshmesh pointed me to and SydneyKids response were both very helpful.

Hope they help you too.

i would htink at the end of the day you are removing the stock intercooler and replacing with one that flows better and has a smaller pressure drop. the amount of 'lag' that people generally refer to that comes with an aftermarket intercooler and piping is something so small that i would render it irrelevant.

get the cooler mate...

[Jaws]

While on the topic i also have a similar question.

This is my set up.

Rb30det.

*power fc.

*gt3040 (600hp)

*standard Rb25 inlet manifold.

*high mount exhaust manifold.

* water injection (maybe)

Looking for 300rwkw.(1200kg car)

Will :600x300x76 with 3 inch inlet and outlets. flows 381 cfu. be good enough.?

Or should I go: 600x300x100 with 3 inch inlet and outlets.?

[gloof]

then has anyone fitted a hybrid cooler using the stock inlet and outlet?

600x300x115 or bust!!!

My first FMIC was a 110mm thick unit to make up for lack of height.... It had major heating problems for the radiator.... My temp gadge would always be up around the high area....

New skyline got a 645x350x75 custom made and this worked a charm... Although it covered the entire radiator it was no where near as thick....

Current skyline..... Dont even have FMIC on road.... Have interchangabe piping for dyno.... But it runs too hot as well in summer.... its a 82mm thick....

I wish I wish i didnt kill that fish (had my last one stolen)

Point of my story... 3 skylines... 2 the same pretty much, and very different in performance...
