Hey Guys

Just wondering is it worth while putting the standard radiator shroud back in ? Im fitting a alloy 42mm triple core radiator to replace the standard one & cause the thickness is a lot bigger it's a pain in the bum to fit the shroud back in too ! Can i leave the shroud off & won't effect the cooling ? Cheers guys :)

the shroud helps the fan pull air through the core effectivly, much better cooling with it on

But with the lot thicker new radiator wouldn't cooling be alot better too ? I have seen a fair few cars without them , is the shroud going to make that huge of a difference ?

      Absolutely nothing wrong with a Profec or similar. He's on a Nistune, so external boost control is a better option anyway.

      I would not replace the gauges. A well setup tune should never require any of that. I'm of the opinion that if you can't safely hand over a car to your parents to drive it's not fit for purpose and more engineering work should be done. Honestly I'm not a fan of external boost controller boxes either but if you have to you can shove the controller into the glovebox or something once it's set up. Tee it off the OEM MAP sensor. Also you probably want to put a two pin plug on the new solenoid, bolting it to the OEM location works. Just separate the wastegate line and compressor outlet so it will work on a 3 port solenoid, kevboost was walked through how to do this on an RB26, same idea just different locations on an RB25. You may have to remove the restrictor in the OEM hoses if they're still in there.

      Yep, it's why in Australia we never brought in the 1 child policy like China.  China can't afford to use the shit they make in their own country as it's too much to risk having only one child...  Or maybe that's how they test their shit before they send it to Australia - they use the second kid that families had when they weren't supposed to as the tester?  They weren't supposed to exist in the first place so no loss if they succumb to a work place incident?  🤣
