Whoops you said no holes... Plazmaman does them too, but super Exxy.

I suggest Blitz kit, the Cooling Pro kits don't fit too well. Everyone has end up making brackets. On my friend's car, we opted to fitting it higher up which needed the foglight to be shaven.

Pay the difference and go the Blitz kit new.

you need to cut holes with that one?

Also its eBay, some people have had no trouble and some people have. No eBay item seems to be the same even if you end up with using the same brand as someone else's that doesn't guarantee it will work the same as theirs.

Just get a cooling pro kit... done.

If you want no holes, no headache, great fitment, no fking about, no custom brackets, and shit that lines up get:

Bolts up, the cooling pro one requires you to swear at it, make some custom shit and guess where everything goes because there's no manual.

Don't worry about pipework length. It's a myth. Let's look at a 3m length of 75mm pipe. Has volume 0.0044m3. That contains 5.5 grams of air at sea level and 40°C.

When your turbo is coming on boost it will be flowing at least 5000 grams/minute, which is 83 grams/sec. I'm pretty sure that you can see a pressure rise in that length of pipe inside 100ms and probably have full pressure no later than 200ms after the turbo is capable of supporting it. That's not lag. You can barely measure that sort of delay compared to how long it takes the turbo itself to actually spool up.

If you were able to shorten the pipework by a metre (or worse, it had to be 1m longer), the change in the pneumatic delay would be barely detectable against the mechanical lag.

So for easy fitment and no head f**ks buy a blitz kit.

Has any one do a thread on best flow and shorest piping ?

not really, but if you want shortest piping, etc..

  • GReddy Plenum
  • Custom piping
  • GT-R Core

But not really worth it, if you're just chasing under 300kW or so... Look at Hypergear, he is getting ~340+kW with standard plenum, and with a ling long FMIC

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
