i noticed all you guys are talking about a cooler with piping that enters and returns thru the same side so no holes have to be cut in the chassis.i wanted to do the same thing on my 33 so i went and got some pipe bent up at an xhaust shop and fitted it in 4hrs. only did it cos i was in a hurry to get it on, have now changed my mind and wana get it repiped properly cos the lowness of the bottom pipe is pissing me off hardcore.

i have a new PWR core here but thinking of going an r34gtt cooler and duct, summer has made my car so unresponsive, will a GTT cooler help much for responsiveness over summer on a stock car, or just go FMIC straight away(dont really wanna fork out for piping), also the FMIC takes air away from the radiator, hence the appeal of the GTT cooler.

heya all

i just won a typhoon intercooler from ebay for $80 so cant wait to get it and clean it out etc. then the hunt will be on for some pipework and joiners so ican fit it up.

then i spose it will be a trip back to the dyno to see if it makes any difference in the tune and boost levels etc.

Anyone?

no it didn't need cutting.

confirming it is this kit?

Cooling-Pro Intercooler Piping Kit - Skyline R34 GTT Price: $299

Includes Piping - Hoses & Fittings

Suit 600 x 300 x 76 Sized Intercoolers

would that mean a trust r34gtt kit wouldnt require the cutting of the battery tray where an r33 gtst kit does? interesting

thats the one, however we bought the whole intercooler kit, but i'm sure the piping is the same.

i used a r34 gtt kit and needed to cut under battery,trim the bar where the piping joined cooler,also my fan had to lose a little bin of it fin,

you have to cut under the battery for all the intercooler kits that dont use the stock piping, but you dont actually cut the tray (unless thats what ryan is refering to as the tray...?)

i wouldnt recommend cutting the fan though, becuase a) you shouldnt need to, kylies doesnt touch the fan, there is a bracket that attaches to the front engine removal bracket, and b) it can unbalance it, and cause it to shit itself. i replaced the clutched fan on my 33 with a pair of 12" thermo's.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • 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:
