why do you say that it depends?

do they suit mild modified cars?

if installed on a standard rb25 - with only an exhaust and cooler and boost, would the car need to be retuned? if so who can re map the std computer as i'm not willing to pay for a power fc or anything.

also anyone have an opinion on "monsta" intercoolers? looking at buying one fairly cheap to run in conjunction with a cpc plenum?? is it possible to run an aftermarket cooler thats 75mm thick, a 400R front bar and not have to cut the front reo? i have a realy issue cutting the front reo as its a safety item. anyone else feel the same?

ok i understand. the only reason i am interested in getting one is that currently my front reo bar is cut to pieces and wouldn't protect my car if i hit a fly! and as the cooler that my car came with is fairly thick and has the in/out on the same side i was considering getting a new thinner cooler, new reo, new plenum. therefore i can mount the new cooler so that i dont have to cut the reo and i hate the whole wrap around pipe thing for the std manifold so i was going to get a cpc plenum to save all that piping and just make it simpler. more dollars yes i agree.

i guess my reason for this topic is to see whether i am wasting my time worrying about all this or not?

i dont really want to spend the money but due to the safety fact of the front end of my car i feel i should. the plenum factor is just a bonus.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
