Blitz Turn Flow Adequate ?

[discopotato03]

Tune due soon and really need something better than an R34 SMIC . I never could track down the Trust vertical flow IC so it looks like having to be a Blitz return flow SE .

I don't want any non std ducting in the bay and keeping the std crossover pipe recirc valve and airbox means it all looks std . I'm using a GTRS which you virtually cannot see and the biggest I'd ever go is an IW GT3076R .

My power interests are not at higher revs and if airflow wise this system can support 270-280 then thats enough for me .

I like the idea of RB30s but can only justify that if my 25 bottom end dies . 270-280 was always going to be plenty with either size motor and I just need to be sure the Blitz IC will cope .

Thanks in advance cheers Adrian .

They are good enough for your level and i am sure they could flow more, look at post number 885 (page 43) in the RB25 upgrade thread or just type blitz into the search. He was using a blitz turn flow, 3076R and made 281.

Another further down made 270 with a SS2, with a "home made" turn flow.

I would choose my original cut down truck core (circa 1999) homemade turnflow over the Trust vertical flow unit any day of the week, and have no doubt that it would be perfectly adequate for up to 300 rwkW. Now that I've had to replace the core with a PWR one, I'd back it even more. The Blitz turnflow is about the same size as mine. Has to be good enough.

After searching for ages I found this install job on I think an S1 GTS25T .

If anyone has pics of an S2 with this kit installed can I see them please .

Mine is a 96 S2 , do they have more room behind the bar than an S1 ?

My only concern is how low that tube is under the core and how likely is is to get crunched/crushed .

Thanks again , cheers Adrian .

That's why I have one I built to my own design. The return pipe is behind the bumper reo, the core is the lowest part, completely in view of the (GTR) intercooler grille.

This is mine.

It's a older Trust R SPL from memory.

Does anyone have pics of the Blitz Turnflow from underneath ?

Woolverine mentioned a Plazmaman turnflow but I haven't sen one of those .

Cheers Adrian .

Hey Adrian, there's a couple of threads with the Blitz on R34s here:

I think clearance is always going to be an issue with turnflows on lowered cars. I've got the Trust vertical flow that you've been chasing and I manage to scrape it a bit every now and then even though it's a different orientation.

I've heard of several people running the Trust in the near 300rwkw range so it'll flow just fine. But then again, some manage that power level with the cheapo Cooling Pro units too.

I can send you pics of the Plazmaman turnflow on the Stagea if you want but the Blitz will be cheaper and will do everything you need it to do.

[discopotato03]

I've only seen the one install in an S1 R33 , maybe the S2 people don't like them ?

I gather these intercoolers can't sit any higher because of the bonnet latch system .

Hi Andrew , didn't look at the Stag one on the Plazma site but I will now .

Pics would be great , cheers A .

The pics on the Plazmaman site should be of the yellow pig.

Well the $6400 dollar question is does the Plazma Stag job sit any higher (long duct wise) than the Blitz R33 one . I know there is a considerable price difference between the two and I'm curious to know if yours is further up out of harms way .

My cars not on its floor pan by any means but it does have 245/45/17s on it now and near full lock the tyres scrub a little and thats just with my little over 100 Kg in it . I Must measure ground to arch height and see if the SK kit has settled any over the years , I do have to be carefull in driveways and over speed humps and having a low cross pipe would be a bit of a worry .

Didn't think to look under mellow yellow , cheers A .

If you need more room you can ditch the bonnet catch. I got rid of mine to make room for the oil cooler and replaced with locking aerocatch pins.

I originally made 260rwkw with the auto on a cooler with sizes 600 long, 130 high and 65 thick. You'll have no problems the return flows are near triple the size... I was getting intake temps up to 70 degrees though.
