I have a mate who's drift car (with RB30/26DET) puts out 450 rwkw through a HDi intercooler. So sure you can force the air through the china cores to make reasonable power... but it begs the question, how much extra power would it make with a decent cooler? At the same time the tune would probably be safer due to lower intake temps.

has any body tried water spray to increase core cooling? I've seen this make good power difference in the dyno.

I have a mate with a R33 GTS-t with water spray hooked to his IAT sensor.. smart, but you need to always refill it on the track and 1x 2L washer jet bottle doesn't last a full session on the track.

So better to get a more efficient core to start with.

Hopefully when funds permit next year, I will be going straight up to a 100mm Plazmaman core.

I built a system using the Autospeed intelligent water spray controller (which is actually a very clever piece of kit and worth the money) a largish water bottle from a Cordia and a good Bosch windscreen washer pump from a Commodore. Plus a very good atomiser from Spraying Systems. I installed that on my original R32 sidemount. Running the RB20 at 14 psi was enough to make the sidemount marginal - it would heat soak if you drove the car hard. The water spray did an excellent job of keeping the cooler's temp down, and the spray controller made very parsimonious use of the water, so the bottle lasted weeks of street driving. This was all pants-dyno stuff, so not particularly scientific.

When I upgraded to a front mount I could not tell the difference between having the spray working or not, so clearly the cooler was good enough on its own. So I took it all off the car.

if anyone wants my scotty_nm35 intake it's for sale with all silicone joiners/reducers to fit either stock airbox -> hypergear SS2/G3 turbos or pod..

No point

a small wmi jet works much better..

and i bet anything you would like ..using a china core with wi is better than a expensive core heatsoak wise aswell. Was cheap aswell when dollar was good

cheers

I'm on E85, so doesn't "really" make a difference in terms of knock.. but because it's not as cold means you make less power and also I have an IAT table that corrects the injection table so it doesn't run rich as crap.

I'm happy to spend my money where it's needed and happy to get rid of my China Racing products (sound racist, but I'm half chongers myself hahahaa)

Im using a plazmaman 76mm core on custom returnflow piping... not hitting any restrictions caused by it as of yet 324kw running 16psi on flex e70... maxed out injectors stopped me running more boost or 284kw 18psi on 98

Not anymore unfortunately. I want another kit to put on the diesel family wagon but not with today's prices.

Best work as a twin, can use two ATR43SS2s, similar to Chequrered tuning's 650rwkws setup. If it has to go Single ATR46 is fine working with two 45mm gates.

another quick question.

Can the ATR45 be supplied with braided lines to suit rather than attempting to make the standard lines fit?

+ pricing

I would also be interested to know - I guess it would be just as easy to get the earls kit though or get custom lines made.

Will wait for Stao's response.

ATR45SAT comes with braided oil feeding line and uses OEM oil drain. Including the manifold spacer this turbocharger is $1350 inc GST internally gated.

The water lines you can use Earles kits for around $130 from Pirtek. Or you can use push on hoses and fittings, which comes to around $40.

    • If you don't touch the CAS, then you're fine.
    • Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.
    • I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
