Honestly with that much power in mind, just get a cross flow and a forward facing plenum.

It'll make life a lot nicer when it comes to working on the car and its a lot simpler (less joins, fewer points of failure)

I tell you know, if you're going to be getting 380rwkw out of a GTST, it's going to be FAR from legal and you'll have more than a few headaches with police. Effectively turning your car and $10,000 worth of mods into a garage queen.

Just get a crossflow and get Scotty_NM35 to fab you up a pipe which can bend around the bottom of the radiator and pop up into the engine bay... No holes needed.

A big high flow turbo + E85 + Blitz return flow + factory airbox would keep you under the radar.

In the end police will always be able to find an ECU or injectors or boost controller if they want to look for them, which means anything over 170rwkw has the potential to get you found out. It's all about hiding it as well as you can. If you can keep the engine bay looking stock they won't have reason to look much further. I'd argue that any forward facing plenum is grounds to scrutinise the engine bay, versus a cooler that uses the factory piping.

But some people say blitz return flow cooler won't handle 380rkws .can only handle 250rwks

Some people don't know

I'm doing 275 with mine on a conservative dyno and I don't think it's at its limits.

If you are in Vic, keep it all looking as stock as possible. You can still make the power using ethanol as a fuel instead of dino 98.

Either a good return flow or custom piping cross flow will do the job, no need for holes to be cut. ;)

How can cops find out what ecu or injectors u got???

also i have a blitz return flow for sale if your interested :)

If cops that moody, they'll tear your car apart.

don't they need a warrant or something for that? they not really allowed to pull out the interior trims are they?

Dunno what rock you've been living in, but cops are known to take kick panel out to see what ecu the car has and some cops know what colour injector caps of cars.

Welcome to Victoria.

Plus some cops doesn't even do that and decide to send you a EPA letter and let EPA do the work.

They carry portable tool kits

Screwdriver to pop open / destroy your kick panel and look for ECU

Injectors are pretty obvious if you know the engine and certain Knox people know the standard RB25 colour is dark red/maroon

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
