Tomorrow should find out definitively whether this kit works with an RHD. Both from Filter & Turbo discharge pipework aspects... not nervous at all...  |
Holy crap what a frustrating afternoon. Spent 3 hours fighting with the discharge pipes trying to get them to fit. Gave up and ended up going a slightly different route. Bought a 2.5" 45deg 300mm long silicone coupler that ended up taking over the mid section around the engine mount; from there I used that smaller 2.5" aluminium pipe with a dent in it to bring it to the 2.25 pipe. I used the included 2.5 to 2.25 straight reducer and it 'just' fits, though I've ordered a 2.5 to 2.25 45 deg coupler to swap it out later with. Didn't end up using the included 2.5" 90 deg aluminium pipe, which was the biggest source of my frustration, but at least the discharge pipework is done now from Turbo to IC.
I test fitted the Filter and it ended up fouling a little on the small hardlines at the base of the steering column but not the column itself. I've trimmed 10mm off the filter coupler and will give it another crack tomorrow. It's going to be a tight fit, but I believe it'll work.

That's odd. I've never heard of that, I've used HKS and GFB in the past and didn't hear that coming up. I was running 16lb on stock 6lb WG springs with my Z32 using a HKS EVC4 EBC years back.
