Hey guys, just wondering whether it would be worth changing my stock intercooler for an R33 or 34 unit. Do they flow or cool any better? Would I be better off just saving for a front mount? (I know that would be heaps better, but I can't afford it for ages). Also do they bolt straight up? Any info or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

i dont think there would be a significant difference between them, the 34 probably flows better. you can get trust cores for the stock sized one (triple core). best bet would be to source a r33 gtr intecooler (front mount) and use that. good for upto 300rwkw

should be able to get it for around $600 without piping

The R33 -> R34 GTT intercooler swap is an excellent cheap mod.

It bolts straight on and the volume increase is definately worth it. The best part though is the better airflow you get through the GTT core since the end tanks are larger and better designed.

The R33 intercooler seems awkward in comparison.

The 32's i/c pipes route differently to the 33/34's. On one side of the cooler (inlet i think) the pipe goes straight up into the engine bay. On the other side (outlet) the piping heads towards the front of the car on a 32... on a 33/34 it heads towards the back. You've just gotta get someone to re-locate the outlet pipe to the other side of the end tank. Dunno how much a pro would charge to do it, should be about $50 I reckon. Then you gotta mount it... I made my own but you can probly modify the stock ones. Lastly you'll need a 20cm or so length of intercooler hosing. to re-attach the modified outlet to the stock piping. Hope this helps
