Fkn awesome Pete. Can't wait to go for a spin, especially after the full plan is in effect.

Hey which way does the wategate flapper open? If it opens towards the turbine outlet a small splitter between the wastegate and turbine outlet might help reduce turbulence in and get the whole shebang spooling up a little earlier. Seems to work well on other open-mouth-style dump pipe IMHO.

If you're going to go for a Haltech give me a yell. I know one of the guys there who might be able to look after you.

Once again. Awesome. It's making me question my choice of car.

The dump pipe looks very Tomei styles.... which has been proven to be more efficient than the HKS split type ... if im not mistaken.

Looks like your rig will haul some ass dude!

If you're talking about a twin-pipe design then that's definitely not what I'm talking about. I'm a big believer in the open-mouth collector style of dump pipe.

Low rpm and off boost all flow goes through turbine. High rpm and on boost most flow goes through the wastegate. An open-mouthed collector has the full exhaust cross-section available for both situations while a twin-dump at high boost will require the high wastegate flow to flow through a small diameter pipe.

Twin dumps work fine as long as there is room to put a nice big pipe off the wastegate. If the space is restricted then a nice open-mouthed collector works pretty well.

      Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.

      I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.

      Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.

      Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.

      hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
