rb20det stock intercooler does work. You just have to get one custom pipe made.

has anyone ever think of a TMIC like the Z31?

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

there's already hood clearance issue's with the rb so that not gonna work out too well

HOOD SCOOP WOULD SOLVE THAT OR A HOOD COWL.

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

Yeah but at that point it would be cheaper to get a front mount

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

A HOOD COWL/SCOOP AND FIBERGLASS (W/ RESIN) WOULD COST YOU MAYBE $200.

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

plus you have to paint it, and then you need to make pipes which would be really short and you'd need a IC unless your using the side mount as a top mount, plus you need to make a little heat sheild so it doesn't get heat soakedBecause its on top of the motor

JUST GET THE Z31 KIT OFF OF EBAY.... THERE WAS ONE ON THERE FOR $50. THE 200ZR CAME WITH TMIC STOCK AND ITS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SETUP AS THE SKYLINES.

We got the R33 RB25 SMIC kit on w/o any custom pieces, just a little negotiating and hose clamps. Something from ebay actually coming with every part needed!

this is where the intercooler piping is going into the sidemount

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

cool thats exactly what i needed thanks alot

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

hey up to what PSI is the stock side mount good up too??Cause im going to be boosting 12 psi

Website · Post by **frosted flakes** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

ive boosted 12psi on the stock IC and its OK but gets heatsoaked pretty quick. Even at stock boost that small IC gets heatsoaked quick. Really these RB20s need big FMICs and side intake manifolds to get that air nice and cold....

Post by **93RPS13** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

i was thinkin of the FC type of hood scoop

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

what about a 30x5x2 fmic its kinda wierd looking its long and from side to side but short in height

Post by **PROJECTRB240SX** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

I HAD THAT ONE ON MY CAR ORIGINALLY.

Post by **Sil240** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

oh yeah how'd it work??what do you think about if i bought one for 175?

starion front mount any good for RB ?

i have one and i will be running it

it looks big enough also the benefit is i dont wanna route the pipes infront the engine since i am using stock mounts and there is no place for pipes

Stairon intercoolers suck for flow. They are better than not having any intercooler. I'd much rather run a MKIV TT stock sidemount than the starion.

I've actually been considering running a MKIV sidemount or a Z32 sidemount... the MKIV one is really big... but it might work.

It's something I learned from RRE. I though they were pretty good intercoolers before too till I asked him. He said it won't flow more but it will cool a little better than the stock sidemount. I haven't heard anything bad about the Stock intercooler. Just that like all side mounts it will heat soak after a while. Just save a little longer and get a good FMIC core. You can get a 20X10X2.75 Griffen Core for around 300. http://www.roadraceengineering...s.htm I tried that intercooler on my DSM. I use to have a Sparco bar n Plate fmic. It wasn't as big as the griffen tho. After I bolted it on the car felt alot more responsive and pulled better vs my old FMIC. The one I have for my RB is Griffen I/C core. I got the bigger one I think it's 24"X11X3.. It's the same one XS uses for there GTR core. I think phase 2 motor trend sells them.

do you know if a supra side mount will fit in a S13??my boss has a supra he said he's gonna dig up his old IC for me

Post by **Yellow4g63** » Fri Jun 11, 2004 4:28 pm

I have never tried but I'm sure you can make it fit. Just goin to take some time and lots of beer. It's a pretty Thick intercooler.
