Buy expensive cry once, buy cheap cry daily

Honestly, I was. However Someone had this one so I thought why not, 350 bucks.

that being said, i'm dubious of the plazaman ones. The one pictured on their site doesn't look like it'd fit on the mounts.

Probably cools the intake charge and doesn't leak... :P

I think the factory one does that as well.

So calling the phone number on their website and asking them if the GTR intercooler was a bolt up job never crossed your mind?

but isn't the factory FMIC limited to 300rwkw and looses efficiency after that?

I only started worrying about their fit after having issues with this one today. By the time i'd got back in and fnished packing everything up it was after 4, so i figured i'd give them a call in the morning... :yucky:

My Hybrid one does a better job...

Good for you and your car

If the car doesn't go to the track or drag strip when do you get the chance to use those 300+ killawasps?

Just out of curiosity, do drag strips allow intercooler sprays?

Straight from the andra manual

4.6.1 Intercoolers

Must be securely mounted with all hoses securely clamped. No restriction,
apart from location, on air-to-air units. Air-to-liquid are limited to water
and/or water ice ONLY and must be sealed to prevent fluid dropping
on to track surface. Dry ice permitted on its own but housing must be
vented to atmosphere to prevent pressurizing of system. Intercoolers
must be located outside of the driver’s compartment or contained in a
commercially manufactured ballistic containment device and fitted with
a relief valve / burst panel vented outside the driver’s compartment to the
atmosphere.

I try to use it every time I drive the GTR.

It's fairly easy to do especially those long M1 on-ramps we have here on the GC

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
