GTR Intercooler

Don't mind the bones next to it... My dog leaves them all over the place...It's a calsonic stamp, was told that's the manufacture for Nissans intercooler?

I just love that it's black straight from the factory

I love black intercoolers, sleeper style.

Good deal. What's kind of project is it going in?

Oh, check your radiator, it prolly has "Calsonic" stamped on it, too.

Yikes! I thought my camera was bad! We expect pics when it's in

calsonic makes all kinds of stuff for nissan like oil coolers, radiators, IC's, some AFM's, etc.

I forgot it's either 32 or 33 it's not 34 because they're bigger

34's are bigger, and I don't think they are black.

where are the pics of the turbo and everything else that go with the intercooler?

i haven't seen an R34 oem intercooler but it would be tight if it were black as well.

Neat looking intercooler but why did you take pics though several layers of Saran Wrap?

Or did you rub Vaseline all over the lens?

:-)

hey guys, how much should custom piping cost?

Post by **nametakennow** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:15 am

I got a piping kit for $160, but I had to cut and put it together myself. I'd expect it to run you at least double that if they're cutting/fitting/installing it.

from your experiance doing the install yourself, was it worth doing it yourself?

Post by **GripR** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 8:48 pm

i got quoted $250 for materials and labor so i think i rather do that.

Post by **silvia_ca18det** » Fri Nov 25, 2005 10:26 pm

best way to make fmic piping is to buy some mnadrel bends and cut it all up mark it and if u dont have a welder take it to a shop and ge tthem to weld it, it is right cheap!

You should have used the money to buy a camera

Considering your sig. picture, you're one to talk...

Post by **nametakennow** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 10:06 am

Haha, I hadn't even realized he'd asked me a question at the end.

Putting the piping together was pie on my car, but then again, the routing was rather simple.

We got some extra silicon couplers because it took more than came with my kit. Other than that, it was hacksaw+file+patience. It came out really well. Now if only my fuel issues had been so simple . At some point I may have a few pieces welded for simplicity's sake, but meh.

$250 for materials and labor is nice... I did my whole turbo project on quite a tight budget, and I almost made it, then the oil pan took a dump. Oh well. Debt HOORAY!

Not as if he needs that info now probably, but oh well, it's there.

calsonic does a lot for Nissan...they make everything exhaust related for them too.

looks like a pretty decent IC too.
