Honestly with that much power in mind, just get a cross flow and a forward facing plenum.

It'll make life a lot nicer when it comes to working on the car and its a lot simpler (less joins, fewer points of failure)

I tell you know, if you're going to be getting 380rwkw out of a GTST, it's going to be FAR from legal and you'll have more than a few headaches with police. Effectively turning your car and $10,000 worth of mods into a garage queen.

Just get a crossflow and get Scotty_NM35 to fab you up a pipe which can bend around the bottom of the radiator and pop up into the engine bay... No holes needed.

A big high flow turbo + E85 + Blitz return flow + factory airbox would keep you under the radar.

In the end police will always be able to find an ECU or injectors or boost controller if they want to look for them, which means anything over 170rwkw has the potential to get you found out. It's all about hiding it as well as you can. If you can keep the engine bay looking stock they won't have reason to look much further. I'd argue that any forward facing plenum is grounds to scrutinise the engine bay, versus a cooler that uses the factory piping.

But some people say blitz return flow cooler won't handle 380rkws .can only handle 250rwks

Some people don't know

I'm doing 275 with mine on a conservative dyno and I don't think it's at its limits.

If you are in Vic, keep it all looking as stock as possible. You can still make the power using ethanol as a fuel instead of dino 98.

Either a good return flow or custom piping cross flow will do the job, no need for holes to be cut. ;)

don't they need a warrant or something for that? they not really allowed to pull out the interior trims are they?

Dunno what rock you've been living in, but cops are known to take kick panel out to see what ecu the car has and some cops know what colour injector caps of cars.

Welcome to Victoria.

Plus some cops doesn't even do that and decide to send you a EPA letter and let EPA do the work.

They carry portable tool kits

Screwdriver to pop open / destroy your kick panel and look for ECU

Injectors are pretty obvious if you know the engine and certain Knox people know the standard RB25 colour is dark red/maroon

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
