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 like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
