It's completely stock at the moment, but an evoms intake just arrived in the post from the u.s. Any other mk5 r32s running an evoms intake in Aus?

AP - No air-air intercooler on the lotus, or am I missing something?
Just spent 5 mins examining the pic! air-water or something else?

and stock airbox on the R32, is that gutted or is the stock box efficient enough?

two amazing bays.

[AP]

What turbo are you running again?

[stephen8512]

2835?

[Tinto]

What turbo are you running again?
It is an ITS 60-1.
I don't know a lot about it, other than the fact that ITS isn't around anymore, and trying to search for it results in uncovering a load of gossip about the owner!
I'd like to know what I can compare it to in the Garret lineup, but the specifics of aftermarket turbo specs make my eyes glaze over when I try to understand it all.

I found out today that my FMIC is blocking too much airflow to my radiator, hence me baking (120 plus water temps) at the track. Temps are fine around town.
They popped it on their dyno and it produced 360hp (up from 346 strangely), he adjusted timing one degree and it went to 372.

So once the air flow is sorted, I'll have them turn up the wick a bit more to see what it can do and still be driveable/safe :D
In a week or so they are going to baffle / box in the intercooler air flow into the radiator - at the moment there's a path of least resistance and the air is just dropping out the bottom of the car and not pushing through the radiator.

I also have my eye on a genuine M-Sports Carbon/Kevlar vented bonnet that they have at the shop - apparently all the other ones made lived on the M-Sports D1 cars! Price is slightly above a cheap china carbon bonnet, but it is considerably lighter (i picked it up with one hand - must have been 3-4kg at the most)
Looks pretty horrible (this weird honey colour), but I have plans to get the car wrapped sometime later this year, so it will disappear.

The inlet of the turbo looks pretty big, 3.5-4"? So you have a pretty decent sized turbo to make ~370hp from a 2.2L SR, the guys on nissansilvia.com should have a better understand on the details


Everytime I look at that tomei motor it makes me want to have an SR again :(
