this is a small one where you can just see the intercooler.... bar has been fixed by now!

How low is your cooler mounted Matt??? We did mine the other week and mines up alot higher then that, with just the bumper on you can't see it hanging out down below...

looks good! but does it work well? eg: cooler intake charge or lag? have you taken it down the strip or on the rollers to see any advantage? of course there will be some but how much?!! and when will some one fit a VH45 to a local r30!! me cant afford it yet.

Yeah, it runs a little warm, never gets much over 3/4 on the temp guage, but it always cools well at idle/low throttle driving, and it never over-heats. But yes, water temp runs a little higher with intercooler where it is, but cooler inlet temps would compensate for this a bit, no?

just a quick question, how is the running temp with the cooler right in front of the radiator like that?

It really could be better,although i do some circuit/track days,it has never overheated.but im thinking of going to the smaller size(so cheap now) just to allow that bit more air through.The air intake temps are awesome though.At 1.3bar ive never seen temps above 35 on a 30 degree day.

VH45 is ILLEGAL IN NSW fitted to any R30.

For engine capacity modifications, maximum allowable capacity is calculated on the vehicles body weight.

The MR30 Hatch is factory specified at 1250kg and for normally aspirated this has a multiplier of 3 = 3750, and turbo x 2.5 = 3125.

An RB30 2.0mm o/size = 3102, my RB hybrid is 1.0 o/size @ 3032.

Therefore a VH45 cannot be registered in this state and any other as I am aware, but I may be wrong.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
