high flowed with bearings and seals 1200 the only reason i did it was coz my oil seals in my turbo went but yea i got a dual stage boost controller aswell r u sure its the cooler not the fuel pump thats not letteing ur boost go up coz its happened to a few friends of mine the pump goes.

nope fuel pump and injectors r running well! fuel pump cant effect how much boost u run, if the fuel pumps not running well then it will just run the engine lean!

its the cooler cause guy who got same power as me with same mods got a new FMIC put on and got his car dynoed right after me and he got 169kw@wheels at 9psi!!

in reality when u r running 12psi at intake the turbo will be running about 14psi atleast with the pressure drop being through the pissy small stock IC!

INASNT, where did you get your S-AFC tuned and how much? Have you thought about Water/methanol injection? Its half the cost of a FMIC, legal and unless you race around a track to get enough air flow through a big FMIC , works more efficiently on the street. Although a big FMIC does look cool!

Me and Grim were gonna put a water spray kit on the intercooler but in the end its not worth the stuffing around as the stock IC has such a small surface area where the air is cooled its pointless!

I got my s-afc tuned by the guys at ICE PERFORMANCE and it cost round $100.

I didn't mean a IC spray kit, but a true injection system via the intake plenum. No pinging, lower intake temp and more power at lower boost. For eg, A swisho system that Group A rally cars use only costs about $900 fitted against about $1600 for a DECENT fmic!. Less lag too over! as you don't have the big pressure drop of a huge cooler.

$100 sound good for a AFC tweak, will have to get down there!

oh ok, water spray for intake is a very good idea, and seem it work on cars running lots of boost, but no intercooler!

But u need sum sort of controller to control the system properly!

The 1'c i have seen incorporated it with an Autronic SMC ecu system.

Alcohol (isopropyl) injection is better than water(water is good though). The stock ic has plenty of pressure drop BTW, it has fairly poor flow. A modest sized front mount like the trust will increase air flow speed over the stock one (ie: less lag).

Look at it this way..

Summer is on the way.

AUS temps go pretty high in summer.

Just yesterday it was like 30 degrees and it's only going to get higher.

The standard cooler in winter is probably good to work efficiently at 12psi or less.

in summer, that standard cooler isn't going to do shit.

Get a good front mount and you will see an immediate improvement over the stock item.

If you have spent the money on getting a steel wheel on your turbo, then at the moment you won't be able to use that power until you change your standard pissy cooler.

You know the drill...

exhaust, filter, cooler, boost.

don't worry about water/metho injection or whatever...

do the basics first.

Keep an eye out on the forums for intercoolers that come up for sale.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
