Hey guys,

Anyone know the size of the original intercooler piping on an RB25DET? Coz i want to get a cooler that has its inlet and outlet on the left side of the cooler so i do not need to get a lot of piping, as in use the original piping in the engine bay. is this possible and how big should the diameter be?

thanks in advance

G0DF4Th3R,

I think the original piping is 2.5". It is possible to have a cooler made this way, but certainly it is not the prefferable design. I'd save my money a bit more and go for a GTR style cooler with 3" piping all the way, you'd be surprised what a difference it will make.

3" is bigger than:

- the outlet from the factory turbo

- factory L pipe to the throttle body

- the throttle body itself

Isn't it a bit of overkill if G0DF4Th3R isn't looking for 600-odd-hp? All that extra volume to fill isn't going to help response very much.

Well seeing as I have done it and it only improved both my response and power then I would have to say hah to that. I agree that too big can be a bit of overkill, but replacing the factory pipes is a must, they are shit.

I always assume that people are after big power, like me, if your not then 2.5" will be more than enough, just piss off the stock pipes.

See'ya:burnout:

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
