I have a mate who's drift car (with RB30/26DET) puts out 450 rwkw through a HDi intercooler. So sure you can force the air through the china cores to make reasonable power... but it begs the question, how much extra power would it make with a decent cooler? At the same time the tune would probably be safer due to lower intake temps.

has any body tried water spray to increase core cooling? I've seen this make good power difference in the dyno.

I have a mate with a R33 GTS-t with water spray hooked to his IAT sensor.. smart, but you need to always refill it on the track and 1x 2L washer jet bottle doesn't last a full session on the track.

So better to get a more efficient core to start with.

Hopefully when funds permit next year, I will be going straight up to a 100mm Plazmaman core.

I built a system using the Autospeed intelligent water spray controller (which is actually a very clever piece of kit and worth the money) a largish water bottle from a Cordia and a good Bosch windscreen washer pump from a Commodore. Plus a very good atomiser from Spraying Systems. I installed that on my original R32 sidemount. Running the RB20 at 14 psi was enough to make the sidemount marginal - it would heat soak if you drove the car hard. The water spray did an excellent job of keeping the cooler's temp down, and the spray controller made very parsimonious use of the water, so the bottle lasted weeks of street driving. This was all pants-dyno stuff, so not particularly scientific.

When I upgraded to a front mount I could not tell the difference between having the spray working or not, so clearly the cooler was good enough on its own. So I took it all off the car.

if anyone wants my scotty_nm35 intake it's for sale with all silicone joiners/reducers to fit either stock airbox -> hypergear SS2/G3 turbos or pod..

No point

a small wmi jet works much better..

and i bet anything you would like ..using a china core with wi is better than a expensive core heatsoak wise aswell. Was cheap aswell when dollar was good

cheers

I'm on E85, so doesn't "really" make a difference in terms of knock.. but because it's not as cold means you make less power and also I have an IAT table that corrects the injection table so it doesn't run rich as crap.

I'm happy to spend my money where it's needed and happy to get rid of my China Racing products (sound racist, but I'm half chongers myself hahahaa)

Im using a plazmaman 76mm core on custom returnflow piping... not hitting any restrictions caused by it as of yet 324kw running 16psi on flex e70... maxed out injectors stopped me running more boost or 284kw 18psi on 98

Not anymore unfortunately. I want another kit to put on the diesel family wagon but not with today's prices.

Best work as a twin, can use two ATR43SS2s, similar to Chequrered tuning's 650rwkws setup. If it has to go Single ATR46 is fine working with two 45mm gates.

another quick question.

Can the ATR45 be supplied with braided lines to suit rather than attempting to make the standard lines fit?

+ pricing

I would also be interested to know - I guess it would be just as easy to get the earls kit though or get custom lines made.

Will wait for Stao's response.

ATR45SAT comes with braided oil feeding line and uses OEM oil drain. Including the manifold spacer this turbocharger is $1350 inc GST internally gated.

The water lines you can use Earles kits for around $130 from Pirtek. Or you can use push on hoses and fittings, which comes to around $40.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
