Progress !!! New blitz return flow intercooler- wasn't happy with the over pipe from the old one

Put up the factory airbox- I believe it gives me colder air which may be more important than hotter air with larger surface area.

Upgraded to a hpi evolve aluminium radiator. (Awesome)- Yes it was a tight squeeze but factory fan shroud was retained.

New turbo is in the process of being ordered.

Also please feel free anyone to let me know about some reputable nistune tuners in Sydney.

So far have contacted

I'm also keeping my eyes peeled for some drop in injectors. Id1000 would be awesome. But Depends what will come

I want to be e85 ready. But my aim power wise would be around 250-260rwkw first up. I'll be running 98 for now.

My key goal is to create something reliable and bullet proof. I want my tune to complement my supporting mods. The reason being is because it is my daily.

Ah I see. I read this too late ! I have committed to dvs jez in feb for the nistune etc. I'll let you guys know about my with him when i do it.

Thanks for all your help guys.

My next questions are:

I'm having a little bit of trouble sourcing a metal intake pipe that will allow me to keep my plum back bov setup etc. I will be talking to the boys down at kustomkraft about it and maybe they can fab up something for me. If you guys know anything please let me know.

The second question is. I'm trying to source a genuine z32 afm. However I can only find some on eBay with some adapters etc. where do you guys get your afms? Could you send me in the right direction.

You'd be well taken care of with Jez.

Nice list of parts and I think your power goal is very achievable.

NB: not too sure about the GKTech fan. Have seen mixed reviews about it on sau.

I am also having problems sourcing a metal intake pipe to suit standard turbo as I am running a highflow with a z32 AFM. Any one running a metal intake pipe? I got my Z32 AFM from a FB JDM sale page or you can get one from Japan just make sure your not getting a fake one if the price is to good to be ture it most probs is.

90deg alloy pipe with a 2.5"-3" reducer. If you want the bov return, weld in a piece. And if you're still using the cam cover vac, weld that in also.

Car is looking great sandy! I'm sure JEZ can sort you out, he has done fantastic work on friends cars in the past.

I cut the original hard pipe at the C loop on the bov return, then used some oil hose to connect it all back up. The bov return goes through the power steering line and the turbo hot pipe. The cam cover line was placed next to it. You can pretty it up easily enough.

Talk to Scotty nm35 here about the intake pipe, he'll fabricate you a good one in no time. I'm pretty sure he can sort out your injectors too.

Also I'm running Hypergear ATR43SS2 from Stao, great product and support, recommended. Currently making 275rwkw on 98, dyno sheet and supporting mods here.

Nice looking car btw!

EDIT: If you're happy with around 270rwkw on PULP/300rwkw on E85 you could also consider getting your original OP6 turbo high flowed by Stao. Then it's all plug and play to existing piping etc. which will save you several $$ in workshop labour (unless fitting yourself of course).

Fellas!

Firstly I would like to thank you all for your extremely helpful input. PICTURES help me out so much!

I have so many questions but a lot of them are being answered.

Mr Fijigold (i was born there and I love the beer ha!): Some people said the g tech fans were quite loud but they cooked well ?

I'll talk to kustomkraft tomorrow morning. Paul and mark are extra helpful and then I'll message Scotty for some quotes.

For all those newer guys that pm me and asked why we need metal intake pipes. *correct me if I'm wrong* it doesn't necessarily give you gains. It just prevents the rubber stock pipe to get sucked closed at higher power levels allowing you to continue sucking in air.

Thanks again for the intake pics and advice and the compliments!!

I'm still not convinced that a metal intake pipe is required all the time - though I acknowledge it does depend on power and boost levels.

For reference, I'm pushing 245.7rwkw with a high-flow turbo and the factory airbox. I asked my tuner (Martin at Wlilall Racing) when he was tuning it about Z32's and metal intake pipe - he said unless I wound the boost up quite a bit more, they weren't necessary.

I guess each car is different, maybe see what your tuner recommends?

Yes I understand your point. I was just reading up on what people say.

From what I've read people have :

Experienced a loss of power after 5000rpm over 250rwkw because of pipe sucking closed

Experienced nothing ( but most are not over that 250rwkw mark)

Many higher boost/power applications are using metal or reinforced silicone or that sleeving method.

So many weird reviews and opinions.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
