hay guys im looking into buying a front mount intercooler for my r34 gtt.

i want to make close to 300kw at the wheels with using the factory plenum.

so im looking for the best cooling option eg shortest piping and not cutting holes.

any advice will be great

cheers

Whoops you said no holes... Plazmaman does them too, but super Exxy.

I suggest Blitz kit, the Cooling Pro kits don't fit too well. Everyone has end up making brackets. On my friend's car, we opted to fitting it higher up which needed the foglight to be shaven.

Pay the difference and go the Blitz kit new.

you need to cut holes with that one?

Also its eBay, some people have had no trouble and some people have. No eBay item seems to be the same even if you end up with using the same brand as someone else's that doesn't guarantee it will work the same as theirs.

Just get a cooling pro kit... done.

If you want no holes, no headache, great fitment, no fking about, no custom brackets, and shit that lines up get:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLITZ-SE-INTERCOOLER-KIT-SKYLINE-R32-R33-R34-HCR32-ECR33-ER34-RB20DET-RB25DET-/320842554529?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab3b4dca1

Bolts up, the cooling pro one requires you to swear at it, make some custom shit and guess where everything goes because there's no manual.

Don't worry about pipework length. It's a myth. Let's look at a 3m length of 75mm pipe. Has volume 0.0044m3. That contains 5.5 grams of air at sea level and 40°C.

When your turbo is coming on boost it will be flowing at least 5000 grams/minute, which is 83 grams/sec. I'm pretty sure that you can see a pressure rise in that length of pipe inside 100ms and probably have full pressure no later than 200ms after the turbo is capable of supporting it. That's not lag. You can barely measure that sort of delay compared to how long it takes the turbo itself to actually spool up.

If you were able to shorten the pipework by a metre (or worse, it had to be 1m longer), the change in the pneumatic delay would be barely detectable against the mechanical lag.

So for easy fitment and no head f**ks buy a blitz kit.

Has any one do a thread on best flow and shorest piping ?

not really, but if you want shortest piping, etc..

  • GReddy Plenum
  • Custom piping
  • GT-R Core

But not really worth it, if you're just chasing under 300kW or so... Look at Hypergear, he is getting ~340+kW with standard plenum, and with a ling long FMIC

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
