The cooler kit cost me $1500 delivered. Although it's a bit more expensive than the equivelent HKS item in my eyes after seeing the quality of the ARC cooler it was money VERY well spent. The ARC cooler is not as big as the HKS Type S in size but it's power rating is more than enough for me. I'd be max 250kw.

Speak to dAVE in the Vic section for more details on them.

Abo Bob - I know this may sound strange but after I put the cooler in I took it for a quick spin and it seemed to come onto boost with a lot more of a punch. I mean it wasn't boosting harder but just seemed to come on with more of a surge and there was a little bit more noise.

It's hard to tell what difference it made as I had the Power FC, FrontDump pipe and Bleed valve installed at once so it's now running 10psi after a dyno tune.

The power is pretty good and the delivery is awesome but I still want more. I don't really know how much more I can do without looking at a turbo upgrade though.

Have a look how restictive the stock dump pipe is! -

You can see round the flange how small the pipe joining into it is. Around 2" would be my guess compared to the 3" I have on now.

Put some more boost into it. I repeatively done back to back runs from 10-13psi and we were gaining 10-15 up high, but midrange was like 20rwkw more, thats were you feel it. Just tell ICE you want some more boost. If you want more power, this is a fix until you get used to it.

Had the car checked on the Dyno on the weekend, turns out was running far to lean at high boostRPM. Looks like my fuel pump had had it :cheers: I need a Bosch 975. Best price so far is $280. With it running a little richer is now making 190kw but boost curve drops at high end. Need to fit a HKS EVC to fix that. With a new controller should be around 200kw. Will post a dyno sheet.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
