Intercoolers or FMIC (frount mount intercooler) work by cooling the air that is heated by your turbo as it spins close to 100,000 rpm. Cooler air is more dense thus creates more power. The advantage in replacing the stock (piss small) intercooler is the reduction in intake temperatures allows for you to increase the boost using a bleed valve or electronic boost controller. This increases power however a FMIC is generally considered to be best left until a decent cat back exaust system and pod/panel filter has been added. Well thats my understanding on it all anyway. :)

No way this will be a waste of money.. the device is actually intended for cooling.. Any device, no matter where the application is, if something is gettin cooled, it benfits!!!

From where are you gettin that info from???

Do buy the front mount for sure!!!

hmm the front mount wont create lag at all.. If im wrong, someone correct me..

yeah definetly get the front mount.

My intercooler added a little bit of lag if i remember correctly.. im guessing they should because theres alot more piping for the air to go through ?? mighta just been me though ?

Misunderstanding there. Just saying if he did have exaust and Pod (which it turns out he has) a FMIC would be the next logical step. At no point did i say this is waste of money infact far from it. Espessially when coolers are getting so much cheaper.

Please recommend place where to get a good intercooler for a good price. I am also looking to do the same mods. (POD, Intercooler, 2 Stage Boost Controller & dump pipe)

wools - you found a place yet!! maybe we can get a discount if we get both our cars done from the same place.

I found a place but the guy wants to charge me 5Gs for all the above. 2G for intercooler, which I think is TOO MUCH??

An intercooler makes a decent upgrade but if you are afraid of increasing lag and spending loads of money you could go for a second hand R34 GT-t intercooler. It is a straight bolt on upgrade to the R33 gtst but flows about twice as much. You can pick them up on the forums very cheap too.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
