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.

PS

Can someone tell me how to modify the topic heading ?

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

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.

:P cheers :O

    • Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.
    • Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.
    • As long as its NOT a HyperSHITtune, youll be fine.
    • First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions. 
    • I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html
