GOT a few qeustions about FRONT MOUNT?

[TiNTiN]

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 got piping 3 inch polished s/steel fitted with them fitting bov and gearbox oil change for $550

[TiNTiN]

oh thats cool piping and BOV for $550. does that include BOV or did u supply your own BOV

anyone else got any input ?

but i really dont need BOV i got one

[vendetta]

i had my own bov they just welded it up to the pipe

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!!

Definate gains, i picked up between 15/20 rwkw with the Hybrid kit. Certainly one of the best mods i have made.

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

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....

[lwells]

The change in piping will affect the way the car comes on to boost too.

(fane: you definately need a PFC ).

With the SAFC tuned to the stock intercooler, i installed the FMIC and noticed immediate improvements. Then i had to add a little extra fuel thru the SAFC at the next dyno session as it was making more power everywhere
