honestly calaisturbo.com will get you further, but no, you will need an intercooler for almost anything over 9psi with the stock turbo and perhaps 12 psi with aftermarket turbo, dont muck about without one, intercoolers are cheap as chips these days. your loking to run a larger crossover pipe??? methanol, lol

there would be no point upgrading the crossover pipe unless you were upgrading the throttle body to

^^ this.

No point in upgrading any of the cold side piping unlesss going to a bigger throttlebody.

i think really, the point is, throw away the crossover, because you will need an intercooler to make close to 300rwkw in a vl :thumbsup:, for the sau guys that may not know, crosover pipe means no intercooler......

In the skyline world a "crossover pipe" refers to the pipe that crosses over the engine to go to the standard clamshell intake manifolds on RB20/25's. Also sometimes referred to as a J-pipe (due to its' shape).

on standard VLs the xover pipe acts as a homo intercooler, it has heatsoak fins on it and shit

yea, sorry i was assuming you ran a sohc rb30 turbo, which, as mentioned has some "cooling" fins as an "intercooler", but basically its a piece of pipe from the turbo to the throttlebody without an intercooler.

As you have a rb25, continue on, clearly i was on a different page :thumbsup:

So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts.

    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
