Hello everyone i hopefully purchasing a Hybrid frount mount for ma R33 GTS-T soon so i would like to know how much piping would cost and maybe installation ?

Also if anyone could give me any places in melbourne that (would not try to rip me off) make the piping for me

Also how much power do u think a 800mm x 90mm frount mount would add ? kws ?

1.) buy the hybrid cooler piping with the cooler in a KIT from www.theintercoolerguy.com

it works out cheaper and you get a free oil catch can..

2.) if you are running stock boost, you will get NO extra kw from a new cooler. if you have boosted your car up a couple of psi already, and the cooler is a restriction at the moment, then with the new cooler and pipes, you might gain a handful of rwkw.

thats cool i knew that i have to up the boost...but i dont need the kit cause i can get the actuallu intercooloer at cost price..so its much cheaper (secrect) all i need is the piping just wanting to know how much is the piping going to cost.

I know I am digging up an old thread here but I am interesteed to know how you went with the hybrid FM.

I am looking into getting one and I wanna find some competitive prices and some feedback on the FM and piping.

Thnx.

There are indeed gains to be had running an after market IC., regardless of std boost!!

without something to tune it like a safc you wont get much from a fmic but a huge flat spot and a spike at the top end :P

saves your turbo tho....because i heard stock ic restricts about 7psi compared to 2-3psi from an aftermarket one....

so your turbo doesnt have to spin as fast or as hot to get the same pressure....which the advantages from that are obvious....hence being about to up the boost a couple of psi....

my suggestion is to get a safc with your fmic to get the real advantages....

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
