Blitz Se Intercooler Fitment

hello, I recently purchased a new blitz se intercooler with return flow from just jap, it is a very trick kit.

all instructions are in Japanese with guiding pictures.

I had a previous no brand intercooler fitted with similar style piping which retained the stock engine bay piping, but much less diameter.

the reo had already been trimmed for previous install so I had a rough guide and knew previously that I needed to trim the reo bar.

upon installing I found out that the reo needed to be trimmed another inch roundabouts on both sides as the cooler itself was a little longer, this was no worries but once done and lifted into position it seems its hitting on another bracket that sort of sits near the side of the headlight both sides and is just touching the bolt where the new bracket has been installed my question is do I need to do some more trimming or is my bracket up to high?

it looks like if I trim this section the bar will just fail to hold.

p.s this is on the r34.

can someone that has been through this give me some answers and help?

can I see some pictures of someones install and what problems they had and how you overcome that.

thanks.

Just fit one on a few weeks ago myself. Was way easier than the Kkr install

I made sure everything including piping and brackets were loose. Started from left to right and made sure someone was pushing the cooler back towards engine as I tightened.

I bent the the bar slightly to fit.

Was very straight forward imo

yeah it's the shorter one of the 2 for the install.

i eneded up using the r33 piece and mounting the bracket to a different hole on the chassie gaurd part in the photo as there are 3 to choose from.

it was a perfect fit and the reason i got a new kit was to prevent bumper trimming as it was an aftermarket gtr look alike bumper. it fits perfect.

i replaced a similar size intercooler with the blitz kit and didn't notice much difference but why i changed it, it deffiantly did and that was to make more room for the bumper and a cleaner look.

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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?
