Blitz Turn Flow Adequate ?

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 .

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 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.

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'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 .

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 .

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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
