Ok guys I have a couple of quick questions.....sorry if they have been posted before, I have searched for info but can't find what im looking for!

Firstly....I am looking for intercooler piping for a FM that uses the factory inlet/outlet. Ive read that blitz kits use those but am wondering where the best place to get a blitz kit is. (ive been quoted around $500 and was wondering if this seems right)

I should mention i already have a cooler and only want the piping.

Second is in regards to an electronic boost controller. I have been looking at a couple of blitz ones and the difference between the 2 is that the cheaper one uses a single solenoid design and the more expensive uses dual.... Just wondering what kind of performance differences there are...

Thanks for your help!!

:D

Theoretically the dual is supposed to control boost more accurately, when bleeding a decent amount over nominal gate pressure. Some people have switched from other EBCs to the dual saying it cured issues. I think its more to do with the SBC being easier to setup then the solinoid itself.

Or, it could be simply a marketing ploy devised by evil marketing teams to hock more product, like sunscreen to prevent these so called "UV rays" which supposedly originate from the "Sun" and spawn life shortening "cancers" Phhft, sif

500 was for the piping alone as I already have the intercooler...

Im only planning on running around 10psi so im thinking the single solenoid boost controller will do the job no probs.

Thanks for the help guys! ;)

if u have a return style cooler then it shouldnt be a problem, if u have a hybrid style, then forget factory cooler placing cuz it wont work

as for the boost controller, if ur only runnin 10psi the single will do the job

I dont have a return style cooler but is there no way or just modifying a 'donut' pipe so that the piping can be joined to the cooler?

BTW - If I run the boost controller at around 10psi before fitting the FMIC am i likely to run into any problems?

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
