I vote for a new sticky to steer SAU'ers away from Hyperf**kINGSHITTune.. at least that way their builds wont be waiting for Pete Griffin to pull his finger out of his vag and do some fkn work.

 

A few other SAU members recently had to deal with their incompetence too.

One person that's doing a RB swap had enough and rocked up unannounced after a year of waiting around ended up getting other customer's parts off the shelf that day lol.

Hmm. Back in my day (186, 202, 308, etc), we used to put restrictors into the coolant circuit to reduce the flow rate, slow it down, and give it more hang time in the radiator to allow it to exchange heat to the air.

I haven't done any calcs myself to demonstrate where the overall heat transfer coefficient limiting step is (pick up of heat in the engine, convective transfer from water to tubes in the radiator or convective transfer from tubes to air).....but my gut instinct is that throwing a larger pump at the situation isn't going to do much. Maybe a little, but what you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts. Faster water flow increases convective HTC a little, but reduced residence time in the engine and in the radiator simply reduces the of water time in contact with metal available for heat to actually move. You end up moving less heat per unit mass of water going past the metal surfaces, and make up for it by moving more mass of water.

I've read that restricting the water passages and  helps the pressure to prevent steam pockets. I've also read that higher flow helps pull heat from the metal. The higher flow helps the heat dissipates from the coolant in the radiator faster.

What you were stating about slowing that coolant down to stay in the radiator seems to have changed. I think it's due to newer R/D, tech and CAD Sims etc. They see that is more beneficial to speed the fluid up in the system.

Idk what's right but it's all something to think about and find that good median.

I'm sure the results vary on motor design.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.

      I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc.

      Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.

      So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
