Hey guys I've got a r34 gtt with a greddy forward facing plenum, I'm installing a front mount intercooler, the core and hot side pipings are done.

For the cold side piping, is there any ways or ideas to run the piping without cutting any bits off the chassis? because of being a forward facing plenum like the gtr i can't run a return flow.

Anyone done this before or has an idea how to get around it? i really don't want to cut the chassis as thats where the problems start as I'm in vic and rules are anall.. also spoke to an engineer today and said cars with airbag cant be engineered with chassis mods.

Any help will be appreciated. THANKS

Should've spoken to the engineer first. There is no way around it, this is why there are 'return flow' kits made, so there is no cutting.

Plus as you've already been told - the motor you are putting in is NOT legal anyway.

So you've already got serious problems and that is BEFORE you add your non factory intake which counts as an intake modification. Which then leads to the next issue... You are not using a factory intercooler.

So not only do you have problems with engineers... You've still got EPA problems. What you're doing really hasn't been well thought out, actually, it's as if there's been no thought at all.

Just run the cold side up beside the radiator shroud in 2.5 inch and hope you don't get pulled over. At least it can be swapped back to stock that way, and you haven't ruined the chassis.

Its quite a few hours work, probably $3-500, depending how neat you want it and if you need the shroud cut around the pipe. There is no need to cut holes unless you want to run 400kw+

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
