This is the one I bought.

TRTT9 Intercooler Twin Turbo Intercooler- TREADSTONE PERFORMANCE

But after fitting I found that I can afford an additional 2" taller core size.

Cheers

You said you made your own sc pulleys, roughly how many mm, 90? Cuz 85mm would max it out also, we figured that to be roughly 18lbs of boost, how many lbs will you be on the dyno?

Hi, The new C38R has a different ratio (6:1) as compared to C38-91 (7.5:1). Hence C38R will require a smaller pulley to achieve the same impeller speed. Im currently on 82mm pulley. This will give my 80k SC rpm at 7500 engine rpm. For it to achieve 90k SC rpm, the pulley will have to be 73mm, which is a bit smaller than what rotrex recommend as the smallest allowable pulley size.

I have yet to dyno the car yet. will keep you guys updated.

Thanks

Hi Guys.

Latest updates. I maxed out my fuel injectors (550cc) at 400whp mainline at 5200rpm. Because of the increase in boost (7psi to 12 psi at 5200rpm) and my fuel pressure dropping to 40psi, injectors are max out. I'm going to get DW 1000cc in.

Also I'm thinking of getting a fuel return system on the car. What do you guys think. It's troublesome but I'm not sure if I can get away without one.

Thanks.

For sure your gona need a fuel return system at 12lbs, I’d recommend cj motor sports, thats what I installed on my z, plus the aluminum fuel hat from cj also. Your gona need a fuel pump relay kit (spal kit)also if you don’t already have one.
You might even want to upgrade your fuel pump while your in there, walbro 450maybe, especially if your gona be going higher then 12lbs of boost, not sure what your using right now for a pump? Or fuel?

I used Bosch ev650cc injectors at 12lbs but iam switching to e85 this year so Id1050s now.

If you go with the return system you could prolly still use the 550 injectors and tune with increased fuel pressure to cover the extra 2500 rpms... you should be around 15-16 lbs of boost at 7500 rpm

We made the first returns for the 370z and make frequent improvements any time we can. The kits are very comprehensive, please take a look at our website. As mentioned, the billet top hat is a very desirable upgrade as well. If you have any questions about it please email me at sales@cj-motorsports.com

That isn't even a question. I've got the top hat and the S1.SE return system, you will not be disappointed.
