Hey guys, just needed some feedback. Currently got a Takashi 600x300x68, was thinking of going 100mm core to not restrict flow but it doesn't seem to clear. Thinking a 78mm core at the moment, nothing major just like a JustJap cooler. Was just wondering if the 10mm would make a difference and if it's worth it ? Have a R33 rb25det

Thanks in advance

Stao's results are interesting, for some reason the R34 GTT seems very sensitive to any sort of restriction. I know with the standard SMIC, mine was horrible. It doesn't quite make sense why the motor is so sensitive but it seems to be an R34 thing.

Plenty of people seem to have made around 300kW on 68/78mm coolers on the R33.. check dyno results and hypergear threads. Whether their results would have another 20kW with a bigger cooler, who knows.

This is the issue I have when people do back to back tests, they only ever relate to their setup, not any other car, and unless you are measuring temp pre and post cooler you have no idea how much the temps are actually dropping in these situations. I run a cut down 220 x 600 shitty old Jap cooler I ran through the band saw, no dramas here. Would I get a better result with a 100mm core, most likely, but with added lag, plus there is no room to fit it on my car.

If these chinese/Jap coolers actually restricted flow we would know about it, as no-one would get decent results with them. More likely the turbo is out of efficiency and heating the air too much, as that is what I would expect from taking a compressor to it's limits.

I have the 78mm cooler from just jap, and have return flow piping as well although that is a custom job, made 320rwkw at 22psi on my R34. My tuner said that was getting close to the limit for the cooler, temps were starting to climb but nothing outrageous.

Guess it depends what you wanna use it for. 350kw in a street car it would be fine, but if you're planning a lot of track days on 98 maybe it's worth it to go 100mm

Do the R34 Neo specific issues disappear if aftermarket or R33 inlet manifolds are used ? I keep wondering if the I think smaller Neo inlet plenum section is working against performance and needing higher boost pressures (and compressor outlet temps) to push beyond 300+ .

It would be interesting to hear from someone that say put a Neo 25T engine in an R33 with the 33 inlet manifold system .

Long shot but 33 inlets could be a cheap upgrade on Neo's pushing beyond 300RWKW .

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
