What Are You Thoughts On This Setup.

[shonen]

Hi guys

Below are pics of the latest incarnation of the Blitz ER34 D1 SPL drift sedan. Well engine bay shots......

What are you thoughts on this particular setup ?

Its a Blitz K5-700R (they went one size up this time) on a custom high mount manifold and E56 wastegate.

I personally think that there would be way too much heat generated by the turbo and the return pipe is too close to it. Even with all the insulation dont think it will help much......

It seems they ditched the previous RB26 front facing manifold

ie this one

I would imagine that a company such as Blitz and nomukens own company URAS would have enough money and resources to get the best possible parts to acheive the best results.....But I cant for the life of me see how having the return pipe so close to the turbo could be "better" than the previous setup with the forward facing plenum.

This is not another thread to start the argument of standard plenum vs forward facing.....just want peoples opinions on this setup and possible answer some of my "issues" I have with it as stated above.

Close up

PS

Can someone tell me how to modify the topic heading ?

I noticed I made a typo...should be YOUR instead YOU.

The air in the cross pipe is travelling way too fast to pick up much heat so I beleive it wouldnt be a problem

which blitz car is this

the Street D1 car?

or the D1 Gp Car?

hey shonen i agree, the intercooler piping running on the turbo exhuast housing is pretty stupid designing if u ask me

i'd imagine having a proper sponsor they have a fairly hefty budget and spent the least possible to get the best throttle resposne (being a drift car) so they spent a few $$$ and shortened the pipework as much as possible. think how it would go if you plumbed the turbo outlet directly into the plenum (no cooler and pipework)

the heat wouldnt be that much of an issue.

there is a thick deflector plate as you can see.

The amount of heat you think is being transferred, really isnt being at all.

Its also heat wrapped, which again, is going to stop a lot of radiant heat even reaching the piping.

It's too late and I am too tired to do the exact calculations. From memory the air in a 75 mm pipe would be travelling at around 800 kph at 7,000 rpm. At that speed it ain't gunna pick up any heat from the pipework.

cheers

Having a full rollcage and stripped out interior and carbon fibre panels I would thing its the D1 gp car.

and 800kph ????????

hmmmm.........interesting.
