Hi All,

Apologies if this has been discussed inside and out in the past - I did do a search but couldnt find much ..

Im considering putting an aftermarket front-mount intercooler on my S1 R33 GTS-T .. however there are so any different sizes of coolers out there im unsire of which would be best. At the moment i just ave the stock front bar on the car (which I assume will need to be sut back a little?) but will have an aftermarket front bar installed a little later.

Any recommendations for the SIZE of the intercooler to use? Im using the stock turbo , will be running 10-11 PSI, 3in exhaust. Just want something ample .. not overly large, but something that will cool well and do the job.

Thanks all.

I have a s1 R33 & have a Blitz fmic - highly recommend it :)

They are prolly one of the cheapest Japanese bolt on kits around (can by from Autobarn etc.) & are a decent size too - 610 x 266 x 68. Also can handle up to 650hp.

when you switch to a fmic from the stocker and change nothing else you will have a big more lag in the system as there is more volume to pressurize when you open the throttle if you add a bit of power at the same time you do the fmic you wont notice the lag, i had my intercooler done, noticed a bit of lag and then had full exhaust with 3" front dump piipe and cat done and it even'd out again

if you just do fmic only youll get a bit of lag

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
