Hey guys I am trying to find some info about installing an arc twin entry cooler with an arc airbox.

Not much out there on the web. Has anyone installed a twin entry cooler whilst maintaining the arc air box?

Cheers

adam

I have a bad feeling the arc airbox is bigger then stock airbox :(

What did u do about your return bov piping?

Sold the whole kit! I toyed with the idea of fabbing up a new pipe, but it would have been a shit fight and I wasn't going to take a hole saw to my car.

What's the setup of the car?

Built 26

272 hks cams

sard 800s

Dash 5s

d jethro

tomei dumps

arc prestige r rad

arc air box

top mount catch can into front washer catch can combo

hks hard pipe kit

hks afm delete pipes

Hks front pipe

hks super turbo exhaust system

nismo fuel pump

greddy boost controller

orc triple plate clutch

Tein super streets with edfc

ap racing front and rear kits

whiteline front and rear sways

Should have researched bit more before buying the intercooler kit. But I guess I was thinking a specialised kit would fit without too many mods.

Might have bite the bullet if it fits with pods. The weigh up of the intercooler and airbox is an easy enough answer.

Cant see much on the interwebs so I think ill give it a go to make it work

Adam,

I'm interested to see what you come up with. I'm interested in the same IC for my BNR32.

Problem is that the GTR is setup for a single entry charge pipe so I'm curious to see how two entry pipes will work for the GTR.

    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
