Hey guys,

just wondering if ne1 had one of the new (or old) hybrid intercoolers on there car and what they think of it ...

if not what else is a decent cooler to run say 10-14psi???

:rofl:

Hyperflow do the best cooler core on the market. They now do a kit to suit R33.

Pricing is around $1990. This includes all pipework (polished) Clamps, Silicone hose, B.O.V. Mounts Etc.

I have a Hybrid cooler new type limited edition one it more than what I need im running 10psi made a big differents to power and I had no extra lag I would highly recommend one of these for the price they are great.

I have very similar mods to you and have just bought one of the new Hybrid cooler kits off someone on the forums and was initially worried that it was too big... but you don't have any extra lag? has it hurt the response at all?

hey chris keep your eye on the for sale section, you can't go wrong with the brand name jap kits, they mostly bolt straight up... just be sure the size of the cooler and piping matches your level of modification :P

2k is hefty in anyones terms these days for a cooler + bits

GTR items are good, a little more but then a few guys are using hybrids now i think...

wonder if there is a boost drop test or something that someone might have done

i have trouble believing there is absolutely no extra lag..

i have a greddy (smaller model) and there is quite noticable lag compared to stock.

this is what I would have thought, the pipework is awfully big in the Hybrid kit...  how much lag did you notice with the greddy unit siksII?  are we talking like 500rpm later than stock or ??

hey, no not 500rpm,

in terms of rpm there there is not too much difference, i.e say in first gear it will still hit full boost by 3 grand, the difference is in how boost builds..

with a stock cooler car once the turbo starts spooling full boost comes up very quickly, with a big cooler/piping the time between a bit of boost and full boost is longer, so basically is it more throttle response rather than a lot of lag.

my car wouldnt be a perfect example to compare before and after though, as i have adj cam gears, bleed valve and pfc as well which all make the boost come on differently to a stock car.

ah okay... sort of like when I have my ebc turned on and boost starts later but builds quicker... (I believe this is referred to as seting the 'gain'... ?)

I have a rebuilt motor with forgies and tomei cams so I have better than average response... I just don't want to dull it by slapping on a cooler that is too big...

I guess I'll have to try it and see;)

If there is extra lag it mus'nt be much because I did'nt notice any more at all. It would be nice to see a before and after dyno graph the boost curves.

guys, do a search and find sydneykids calculations on lag and heat 'caused' by the bigger cooler and pipework remember at 3000 rpm your engine is consuming 3750L of air every minute.....thats assuming zero pressure difference, adding a few litres of volume is going to make stuff all difference to lag......

i've noticed hardly any difference though i did FMIC, cam gears, PFC, fuel pump and reg, clutch and full fluid and oils change (some top redline stuff) all at once so the car felt beter then new, but yeah, u got a dyno figure or are we all talking seat of the pants here ???

Have you got a pic of the setup, dimensions of the cooler. For the life of me when i installed my Type S cooler there was no difference in lag, the car was actually punchier and with no form of aftermarket boost control my thing picked up 2psi in boost pressure:confused:

Also the R33 GTST which i installed a GTR core on, the thing drove way better then std. Not sure about boost as the car didnt have a boost gauge but to drive the car afterwards to me havingonly driven the car around the block before and after the thing drove excactly the same..the cars owners says it actually boosted quicker...(his words)

So i understand the theory why ppl think they may be laggier with a big fromt mount, but id go as far as to say that somehting is fundamentally wrong with the installation if you can notice a seat of th epants change in response for the worse:(

Unless we are talking about a 600 x 300 x 115mm Trust IC or somehting, even then it woudl be interestign to see if there is a real difference when still punting around with the std turbo!?!?!?!?!

    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.
