Got My Cooler

[sproosy]

Morning all

I picked up a cooler yesterday off a mate who reckons its a GTR cooler, its BIG to be a GTR cooler. Anyone have an idea on where it could have come from, and finally do you guys reckon its too big? Sorry about the quality of the pic, took it with my phone.

Thanks!

Definetely not a GTR Cooler.

Dam right! How much does a recore usually cost? around 200 - 300?

looks like a VR4 cooler - too narrow and too tall, end tanks wrong shape

[TTT]

not vr4 that's for sure.

and it's ain't a GTR one..

Looks like a truck cooler of some sort.

no cars come with those as standard.

acutally, I can't think of ANY car apart from a GTR, EVO's, and JAP vr4's that comes with a FMIC with end tanks on either side.. and that cooler is from none of them.

What makes me think it's a truck cooler is the fact that the inlet and outlet are facing in towards the rest of the engine.. most that I've seen on trucks are like that.

i believe RX7 coolers have end tanks facing back

Either way its pretty PHAT if ya ask me. Will the standard turbo be ok with this? i.e. is the cooler too big? ill prob up the boost to 12psi.

[silver gts-t]

well, i think you need to provide us with some sorts of measurements

[sproosy]

measurements. Hmmmmm.......

Well id say its about the same width as a GTR cooler, i dont know the width off the top of my head, but its prob another 100 - 150mm longer and twice as deep.

Hope this helps, im at work so i cant get the measurements right now. ill go home tonight and measure it up properly if need be.

I hate to ruin your party, but I personally think it's off some kind of low boost application like maybe some kind of diesel or a truck. The reason I say that is that the tubes are very thin and restrictive and as such won't be much good for a performance car. If I was you I would give it back or chuck it out. These days you can get a chinese hybrid copy for under $300 so I'd just get one of those if you are on a budget.

BTW, definately not from a GTR/VR4/Evo/skyline/anything good.

DAM! Well ill let you guys know how it holds up, my mate had it on his silvia and said it ran fine@18psi he had it for almost a year, so that sounded promising. Ill keep you guys posted either way!

[sproosy]

DAMIT! The cooler was way too big, took off hte bumper bar and sat the cooler in there, it was up as far as it would go and it hung down that low it wasnt funny! Speedhumps and driveways would have been a no go. Still i cant complain, i got the cooler for free off a mate, so i guess its save the cash and get a GTR cooler for me. Ill put the cooler upfor sale in the for sale section if anyone wants it. $200
