R34gtt Intercooler Into Stagea

[AlexCim]

As of yet still to decide the fate of my stagea. If it takes the RB26 journey, no point to put a cooler on just yet, if it just gets taken off later.

[FLYSLY]

how do you mean by fate as i thought you had made up your mind that you werent going to get rid of it?

Do you get it back this week?

[qikstagea]

Seems like all our cars chop and change fates on a weekly basis. Mine has lately...

Just ordered a GKTech fmic for both mine and my neighbours cars, same as andys (ega14t)

[FLYSLY]

So true Rob i never know what im doing lol

[Stinky Rooster]

Mega Bump!!!!

Don't try and do this mod if you don't have the lower lip on your front skirt

The extra depth and width of the R35 GTT intercooler means it doesn't fit behind the chinless bar.

*sob*

does any one want to buy a shmick R34 GTT intercooler?

PM me.

Got a quick question to SK and to all those who have cleaned the 34 cores.

Did you just put 50/50 mixtures of metho and kero into a bucket and just poured it into the core?

Whats the process of cleaning it?

Also how would you clean the fins?

The one im about to buy seems a little dirty.

Heres a pic? what you reckon?

The little dent wil be ok right??

[wolverine]

the dents are not an issue. almost every standard SMIC has dents in those places.

[siddr20]

my 33 doesnt have any dents lol.. but yea all good.. dont think its gonna affect anything!!!

how about cleaning it?

I spoke to two of my friends n both mention not to bother cleaning the inside, as it will flush itself out.. and the oil will still come back.. ???

but i might just use water and flush something out?

or metho??

[GoldZilla]

Metho and kero in a 50/50 mix is the go. Make up about half a litre, then pour in a bit at a time, give it a good shake so it can get to all areas inside the core, and then pour it out. Keep repeating the process until the mixture comes out as clean as it went in, then you'll know that most of the oil will have been washed out from inside the core.

There's no need to rinse it out with water - the metho/kero mix will dry itself out, being alcohol.

This has been a great read!

I was lucky enough to pick up an R34 GTT Intercooler for $70NZD Picked it up tonight.

Some of this R&R (WTF?) and timing stuff gives me a headache tho Im so new to the turbo scene that i really dont know alot about it.

Currently i have a 98 R33, with 49,000km, HKS Silent Power cat-back exhaust, A'PEXi intake and earthed stock solenoid. So essentially still running stock boost. I have a de-cat pipe on its way (yay for no cat regs (YET!) in NZ ))

seeing as i know squat, am i going to have any pinging issues or anything i should be doing to aid with these mods? Will be getting a split dump/front pipe very soon too.

Noticed the bumper and rear end in general is getting rather fuel-dirty, and i know that the 33's tend to run rich when you free them up (is this what R&R is?) So i guess after the R34 Intercooler, some sort of fuel management might be needed.

Has new stock gapped copper plugs too.

i found it was easier to fit the air guide once the cooler was mounted, i cut through the plastic under the bumper to give me clearance.

[WOG BOY]

so can someone plz confirm for me....(honestly i didnt read the whole 5 pages of thread)

Sk can ya help me or anyone who knows the answer below.....

a R34GTT Side mount will fit direct onto a S2 r33 to replace the stocko side mount with no modification?

(only 'mod' is the 'air guide shield')

Slightly more responsive, not seeing a rise in boost at the plenum tho

Confirm x2.

Just make sure the inner guard bolt/clips are tight. Its lower than the R33 so its tight.

[WOG BOY]

ok, thanx heaps peeps.....my next upgrade is confirmed!

[Tangles]

they fit up no probs.

one prob, I suppose, may be the bracket... I feel I bent mine a little to get to fit? cant remember

and they sit low seeing they are 20% larger as such, dayz kit covers that but stock front bar may not

I still use the stock holes for the air feed, just a return feed fmic off ebay now (apexi, for 180sx; I did have the r34 cooler for half a year tho), fits in the stock front airdam perfectly

[DaveB]

having trouble tracing the final progress of Sydneykid's 200awkw endeavours; does anybody know where this finished up? And is 180awkw possible with the standard series 2/R34 sidemount cooler? Did SK go a fmic?
