My mate has a Cordia Turbo apparently running "20psi" on a 2L engine...he doesnt have any other real mods that he knows of (he got it off a mate for free) and the car isnt well taken care of.

So do u reckon it would beat a R33 GTS-T cause I dont reckon it would but he reckons it would smash a 'line.

Another thing...this guy reckon skylines dont come out stock with intercoolers....

dunno if you've seen the cordia turbo but compared to a skyline the exhaust wheel is about the same size, but the compressor wheel is tiny, it must be at least 10mm smaller!

Good luck to your mate we were blowing holes in pistons at 18psi

They go ok but won't beat a halfway modded liner.

I use to own one, theres no way it could handle 20psi if its stock, and if it weren't stock why'd the guy be giving it away!

The 1.8L ones don't have factory intercoolers, been a 2L i'd say it would have a intercooler as im sure the 2L Jap Dash engine has them stock like the VR4 motor, could be either of them, or a Starion Sirus motor which doesnt have an intercooler stock either...

But any of those engines handling 20psi is just wrong without alot of work/rebuild etc, the age of the cars and the fact it "isnt well taken care of' is just proof.

it's BS if you ask me!

Cordia's are quick, for there time and technology i'll give them that, good bang for your bucks cars..

and tourque steer can be fun :D

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
