r34 gt-t cooler on a r32 gts-t

[yogi000]

As the title suggests, what is needed, anyone here done it before, i know the elbow on the r34 is angled more than the r32 one, what did you guys use to get around this??

Thanks

have you tried searching for this.

it's explained before I'm pretty sure

There is a previous post with pictures on what you need to do to fit an R34 intercooler into an R32/33. Search is your friend.

If it's the same as a 33 then there are no fitting issues - remove stock IC and replace with gtt one.

thanks guys, sorry for being lazy............ sometimes

R34 standard intercooler has different pipework layout to R32 and R33. Some mods required.

Are you sure SK? I had one installed in my 33 and no modification was required..maybe the 32 is different though.

Yeah it's just the 32 that's different..I'm using R33 pipework with a 34 cooler in my car.

it cost me $650 for a second hand FMIC and custom mandrel-bent piping all fitted and works a treat!

is the costs of an R34GTT cooler that much cheaper to justify its small size over a FMIC?

waz - i paid $175 off a a guy on here.....its not too bad....i think. They have an 80mm thick core compared to the r32 which is about 15-20mm thinner.

I'm only really gonna be running 12pound, so going for a huge FMIC isnt really needed in my opinion.....also this abit off topic.....going for a fmic (eg. HYBRID) do they block off air flow to the radiator?? does this make any difference???

mine is a tube-and-fin intercooler and i have no issues with the cooling system of the car at all

as for if it were a bar-and-plate design... not sure if its airflow blocking is significantly more (have read on the forums that it blocks more air than a tube-and-fin design)

thats the previous post which sydneykid and ed where talking about.

Also attached are the 3 pics of the r34gtt cooler and 1 pic of the r32 cooler which shows how the elbow is on the opposite sides which needs pipes to be modified to allow the fitment of the r34 cooler on a r32.

Hope that helps guys
