I'm looking for a suitable intercooler for my R32.

I want around 200rwkws when all my mods are finished.

One shop recommended a 600wx250h tube and fin i/c to use with the std piping.

How effective are intercoolers with top and bottom tanks and inlet and outlet on the same side compared with the regular crossflow type of a similar size?

Does the inlet tank need a divider to take half the charge to the far side of the i/c?

What power can be made before the stock i/c piping becomes restrictive?

i bought one for mine that i don't need to use cause i need to sell it. it is 600x300x80mm thick, very good core with the tanks on the top and bottem. the buy i bought it off had it on a R32 and had just over 200 rwkw's. he said that the cooler is makes the car feel more responsive than stock so they can't be that back.. i'm getting a new end tank because one was cracked. so if you are interested pm me.

They flow well provided they are built using a good design of end tank. In fact can flow better as the distance the air needs to travel to get through the core is shorter, yet cooling capacity isn't harmed as it still cools across the whole length of the core. Really 6 of one, half a dozen of another tho.

      Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
