yea in Canberra just now, I was entering an intersection beside a white VE SS ute dumped on 20`s with no exhaust, the light went green and he just stomped on it sideways around the corner and fish tailing all over the place

Typical douche I'm talking about.

Seriously what is it with average falcon and commodore drivers going 'oh he has a skyline, he MUST be a drifter!! This'll impress him!!' And kicking the arse out? And if it's wet the problem is 100x worse.

I used to just laugh when I'd encounter above mentioned twats

They'd speed up to site beside me and either free rev it next to me or quickly on and of stab the throttle to do a rolling bunny hop I guess you'd call it to try and show me who's boss lol

The fact my car was as loud if not louder than most worked 5.7 or 6 litre's I'd be a) worried about just my audible noise stabbing it in the city and b) when it rails 23 psi through a 2 inch stainless screamer pipe on top of that isn't to inconspicuous lol

End of the day they would be staring trying to sus out what was "wrong" with the car at the lights once we stopped with the twin plate rattling away and the external fuel system whirring away lol never got sick of the puzzled looks

I love it when a 20 year old nissan gets down the main straight at eastern creek overtaking a BMW v10 M5,

Or when you round up a "fully worked cuzzy bro" HSV GTS 325 around the corners, and the driver sheepishly waves you past.

Then the drive back through the paddock, with the commo drives trying to figure out your car while the clutches in the diff make like the rear end is going to fall out! Lol.

And that's why I love the track. The road, I couldn't give a toss about.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
