The Intercooler Thread

how's the ride ? is it back jarring ?

Not even mate, extremely pleasant. You do feel feel everything, but only very slightly. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being ouch, 10 being butter, I'd say these coilovers are about a 7.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

put me down for a set of those !

[SABBAi]

How low can yo uget it??? Is your Stag 4wd??

[D3RV]

Well I'm sure I could get it a fair bit lower, but that could cause an uncomfortable ride. And of course, 4WD =)

And TJ they're going for 1800 brand new on ebay!

Just bought a HDI r33 FMIC kit, from MTQ in Brisbane for $500. Was a little suss on the monsta kits and wanted to get something half decent.

Will be installing it tommorow with my mate, never done one before. Hopefully with the aid of this thread it won't be too much trouble.

Will also be installing Greddy profec B at the same time, looking forward to the outcome.

Will post pics hopefully tommorow or the next day (depending on how long it takes us ;-)

Cheers,

howdy . notice your car has a hose coming out of the intake plumbing (the pipe before the j pipe) does your one go to the power steering pump like mine does? what did you connect it to after you put the fmic piping kit on?

Just wondering if most of you guys just blocked of this hose, like mike40sydney did in the pick below?

Or if you plumbed it back in somewhere else?

I'm guess thats the Actuator Hose.. on my setup it goes to my boost controller then another hose goes to my intercooler pipeing...

[kidafa]

Would hunt for you but I made a thread about install profec b spec II's a while ago...

Have a look but if i rember correctly yes you to block of the pipe from actuator, use one line from the cold side of ur cooler piping and then the other from? have a search i would mate but am on mobile broadband and have f all credit left

It's the hose that was on the original intercooler piping, on a nipple from the top piece coming out of the plenum. But my FMIC piping doesn't have that nipple. Should I be thinking about drilling a hole in the piping to attacth it??

Or just block it off?

FMIC install went well, I'm about to start the EBC install now so I will check the other threads on that.

CHeers, guys.

Pics will be up shortly

Ahh yes I see now, cheers. However your intercooler piping has a nipple drilled into it, and the pipe goes to the actuator. Where as the pipe that was atatched to my original cooler piping goes down to the powersteering pump or something down the front?

IMPORTD has a pic up of a feed from somwhere else further up the plenum, without a nipple from the cooler piping. Think I might try that.

Still not sure about this other line though?

Well here's the pics, took the masa front bar off, was too low for the road trip to melbourne. and my gf was not too far off destroying it.

HDI cooler kit

had to cut about 25mm of the reo, and mounted on an angle it clears the oil cooler by about 4-5mm

blocked off the vac hose that was from the nipple to the pwsteering pump, stilll not sure where to plumb it back in?

had to cut the standard front bar on both sides where the pipes entered the cooler, but nowhere else.

made a dodgy cold box out of the stock intercooler shroud, should work alright tho. (sorry to anyone that might have wanted it)

Job done! Haven't yet decided wether I should cut the number plate section out to get more airflow or not?

[chef_stagea]

do itttttt

my old rig... was sick.

[bayslideblue]

Oh yeah, sweet. That's looks alright aye, hmmmm.....

[DAYZ]

Has anyone had any luck fitting a front mount to a S2 Stagea with a Dayz front bar, without cutting the reo bar??

Any help would be appreciated,

Model, Size, etc, would be great.

Thankyou in advance

I picked up an intercooler off a member from here in SA. I'm going to be buying a justjap piping kit and i was wondering if anyone knows what one it is that i use for a series 2 stag. Is it the 33 or the 34 kit.

Cheers

Speak to the guys there they're pretty good with Stagea's these days, when i bought my cooler kit

we ended up going with R32 GTR piping and it fitted up great, alot better than my mate who bought

the same kit for his 34 with 34 piping...
