Recently got a greddy plenum and 80mm throttle installed on my r33 rb25 and while driving home from the shop my overflow fills up boils and sprays water my radiator empty but no leaks anywhere on the radiator or pipes coming off it's like it's all being sucked into overflow tank then blown out

Any ideas ???

But don't u get oil through the coolant and blows smoke if head f**ked

No.

Depends on where it has blown and how bad.

It could be that the cooling system wasn't bled correctly.

How much power did you lose/gain from fitting the plenum?

What Ben said David.

Re bleed the cooling system. Corrections may have to be made due to the changed heights of bleed points (if any).

Radiator cap could be a possibility as Callan stated, but would have shown an issue previously.

      Yep, I really miss mine. I dont, however, miss it's understeer. Hard to find a genuine 'Sport' model these days. That sounds awesome! Good fun and great result!  I'd love to do a 1/4 in mine now that its reasonably healthy with the tune. I last did a run in my white GTR, I think it was a 12.3 and I can't remember the mph and I think the little E90 might be quicker.

      FWIW, I made 372kW on a Mainline dyno, with a stock motor (bar head studs & usual bolt ons) on E85 (pretty timid timing in the mid range) and it blew up after a year of track use. Probably got like 5~6 Wakefield track days and 1x skid pan somewhere in between.

      Plus, if you want to shoot for over 300rwkW, the Z32 won't really cut it and retaining the PowerFC is getting to be a poor choice. You're going to be much happier with management that can actually see what's going on and have a hope of stopping it from going bad when something breaks (think oil pump). So, the $$ situation is probably different to what you think it is.

      350-400kw will not keep that basically stock motor basically stock very long, especially for track only use. It will decide to need a rebuild pretty quickly. I'd go smaller, and not cheap out with a Pulsar item based on older tech. Get a G25 550/660. Just better in every way. Don't think about changing a turbo until AFTER you change your injectors (S15 injectors x6? What CC are those?) and coils/fuel pump. They won't keep up with any aftermarket turbo.
