Hi, I've just bought a Greddy V-Spl cooler (yet to fit it), and was just wondering a few things...

1. Is a pod filter needed (i.e. cannot use the stock airbox) for one of these on a 32 Gts-t?

2. Do u need to cut a hole in the arch (wheel) to accomodate the piping?

3. Is it a simple bolt on, or is a bit of stuffing around need to bolt these things up.?

4. Is a different Battery needed for this cooler (to make way for the piping)?

5. How do these things go as far as radiator flow?

6. How do these rate against the stock cooler?

7. What boost is anyone running with one of these on an RB20DET?

Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers David

1. No standard airbox is fine.

2. Hole in the wheel arch???

3. It's a straight bolt on and only very minor modifications are needed to fit it.

4. All depends on the size of your current battery as they come from Jap land with heaps of different styles and sizes.

5. Your radiator will still get ample air flow.

6. Flow much better than the standard cooler.

7. If the only mod you have/will have is a cooler and say exhaust, about 12 psi would be ample. If you would like to run more boost, it is recommended that you upgrade your fuel system and either remap your standard ECU or get some form of aftermarket ECU.

make sure u have all of the support mods like said above..

get exhaust- prefferably turbo back, i.e dump pipe, front pipe and cat back..

get a panel or pod filter... a fuel pump is not needed if ur running abt 12 psi..

however, a tune is defenite... Get a piggy back ecu if u can afford it like an SAFC or emanage, or even get ur stock ECU remapped...

its all in the tune.. it does not mean the more psi u run, the more power u will achieve..

hope that helps..

Hi, Does anyone know if the R34 VSPL Intercooler kit its going to interfere with the standard snorkel and after looking at the pics of what comes in the kit, do I need any additional piping made up or does it just use the existing piping?

Thanks heaps. Pics if possible of what comes in the kit would be good (if it isnt what is shown on www.nengun.com). I have a cold airbox that uses the factory snorkel at the moment and wouldnt want make it a waste when i get the cooler.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
