For those that don't know, to use a ARC twin entry intercooler, the stock BOV return piping needs to be removed.

The previous owner of my car removed the entire stock setup and installed some HKS atmo's. Since that isn't really my thing, i want to go back to the stock setp, but retain the ARC cooler.

What i want to do is create some custom piping back to the intake. I plan to use seperate both BOV using say 10mm ID piping and running past the ARC intake piping (where the red dots are) and joining them up with a Y joint before returning to the stock collection point.

Anyone see any problems with doing this? Will there be problems as the new return piping will have a smaller cross-sectional area then the orginal piping?

I'm pretty sure it will be alright, but just want to make sure :D

I have all the stock piping and the car will be runnning around the 380-400awkw once finished

Cool - i will make the return lines as big as possible, i just said 10mm as an example.

I will be using the stock return inlet. :-)

Good stuff mate, my single return line goes from near the cooler and up into the intake pipe so your idea should be OK, will be awesome to see this on the road :yes:

It's going to be a weapon lol.

Yeah use whatever diameter the outlet is from the BOV.

Just use some rubber hose, run it along the bottom of the cooler (cable ties are fine). Connect to the stock recirc point - job done!

Exactly how i planned to do it - Thanks

As long as you're not expecting any serious amount of air to flow through 2x 10mm pipes. You're going to need the same sort of pipe/duct area as the original setup, and you're not going to get it to pass through the little gaps left in the original guard hole. You'lll have to pass them up into the engine bay next to the chassis rail or something similar.

    • 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.
