it's being done already. i am getting Mazfix to build a custom intake for me to down the front of the car (with a filter of course).

the list of things that Mazfix are doing:

- general service and check over of everything
- Wolf 3D tuned to 1 bar of boost (hopefully around 230kw)
- Plumb-back BOV installed and new intake system
- installing the Water-to-Air intercooler (when Duj finally sends the parts up :evil: )
- guages connected up

probably a few other things that i have forgotten, but thats all the big things.......hopefully.




lil mike did you used to own a skyline at all?

Space Bar

Would be nice if everyone who posts on forums used the space bar.

Having to read posts that scroll off the page is a bit annoying.

lil_mike wrote:well, we have approached another dilemma. this time its the water pump for the intercooler. it seems that its a little too big. ok, well, thats an understatement, its as big as the intercooler itself, there is no way it will fit on.

looking at getting a smaller one for it, but its going to cost about $240 roughly. i think Dujon was a little greedy when he saw that pump. oh well, cant be helped now. might just use the big one for the normal radiator :mrgreen: that should help things out nicely i think.


I am actually looking into setting up a W2A intercooler now.... I am looking at using a Davies Craig Booster pump - about $150.... I am told it flows more than enough... and its quite small.
