SK where did you get your intercooler from. Do you or does anyone know where to get them from, or how I could get one?

I bought mine from the SAU for sale section for reasonable price. They come up pretty regularly, have your money ready and move swiftly.:cheers:

if anyone is interested in going this route with their Stagea, i have a Trust sidemount for sale. they are larger than the R34IC's but bolt up just as easily.

i will be shipping it after next week to the highest bidder.

Trust IC

Damn it, I thoguht that sydneykid had put up the results?

Sydneykid, any news mate? we're all dieing here waiting.

Thanks Mate

Sorry, but it is racing season, Philip Island last weekend, Oran Park this weekend, Darwin in 2 weeks, Sandown 2 weeks after that and back to Oran Park the next week. That's 5 race meetings in 7 weeks in 3 states.

The Stagea stuff just has to wait in line. Plus I have to test the Magic Cat (for emmisions) and to do that I need to put the 3.25" exhaust on. I am aiming for emmisions testing this week and dyno tuning next week before we go to Darwin. But it is tight and we have no room for issues.

SK as you are coming to Dwn and me living here let me know if ya want to catch up. I will be pit crewing for one of the local HQ drivers (my boss). so if you need a hand for running about let me know as I am on hoildays with my son who is up from Brissy.

Cheers ICE

Thanks for the invite, I may not be going up though. We have a new ECU package and I think I will have to send the engine tuner up instead. There are no spare seats on the plane, so it's him or me. Will know for sure later this week.:rofl:

OK I have just installed my GTT intercooler and was wondering what PSI people are running with this bigger one?

Before with my stock IC my boost was maxing at 8 PSI, now with the R34 GTT IC I am maxing out at 10 PSI. only mods are exhuast and air intake no boost controller of any sort.

So when I put my manual boost controller in is it safe to run 12PSI or stay at 10 or what do people recomend with a stock turbo?

I wouldnt think the intercooler alone would change your boost level by that much. I noticed a boost increase of just above 0.5psi. The only reason it will increase boost if your car is stock is because of the solenoid that bleeds air above 4500rpm. The amount it bleeds allows boost to go from 5psi to about 8psi above 4500rpm. As you are removing a restriction you will most likely have more air supply and it would need to bleed off a bit more ar to keep the pressure at 8psi which it doesn't so you get a little more. I still would think that you would be lucky to get more than 1psi if the setup is stock!

I think the consensus is 10psi is a lot safer. I have problems at around 10psi with Rich and retard so on stock ECU I think going above 9/10psi is pointless unless you use something like a Fuel Adjuster or powerFC. I have yet to determined if my problem is coil packs or just the ECU protecting things.

Mostly when I floor it the psi hits 6 and still does but when the car dropes down a gear or 2 and really gets reving it sorta leaks up to the 8psi and now 10psi, more so around and coming out of corners. I was very suprised to see it hit 10 as well.

I run 0.7 bar (10.3 psi) with the DFA tuned, but it wouldn't run more than 8 psi before the ECU R&R kicked in. That's with zero mechanical upgrades, std exhaust, inlet, timing etc. :rofl:

Hey SK. Interested to read you only got 8psi before R&R.

I am having some trouble with the car hesitating a bit above about 8psi. Especially on cold nights. The car sort of runs a little rough as you rev it out and feels like it isn't going as hard at 10psi compared to say 7psi. Only when you come on boost. If you use part throttle to moderate the boost it feels like it is accelerating harder

I don't think it is the coils, I've now swapped them for others.

Just suprised as a lot of other people are running up to 12psi and not getting this kind of thing...

So I need PFC or DFA??

Thanks

As I previously posted the Stagea ECU is a bit smarter than the average. It seems to be halfway between the R34GTT and R33GTST ECU's, with its protection strategy anyway. Plus ours has a standard exhaust (and everything else at the time), which complicates the tuning.

I have seen R33's with slight R&R at 7 psi, it depends on the mods and the tune. Strange things like smaller plug gaps and slightly advanced ignition timing help. So I always try them before I get into the more serious stuff.

For a manual I would ALWAYS go for the Power FC, far too many compromises with the piggy backs. But the DFA for ~$80 is a great low cost alternative if the budget is tight.

:mad:

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
