right basically i am beginning a complete resto job on my r and have sold off most of the tuning parts on it.so what i would like to know is what front mount do you have as i am going to have to purchase a new kit soon=

what do you think of the new spec-r front mount kit. :?:
is it home made if so what does it consist of :?:
how laggy is it :?:
what is best-long pipe run with smooth curves like hiteq's hks kit or short pipe run like nd/spec-r :?:
what difference does length of pipe make :?:
i notice from the site that caleb and chrisniss both got good figures using nd's cooler/good bhp and torque-will the cooler contribute to this. :?:

please post up your experiences and pitfalls with your front mount kit.

Well i had hiteq's front mount kit fitted to mine, running 0.9 bar

due to an accident :evil:

i am now running a standard top mount

the car is slower and laggier with a top mount on :shock:

and no i dont have any boost leaks

also the car only hits 93% injector duty instead of 100% even though running the same boost

I have the hiteq`s hks front mount kit (cheers edd) and its superb :) my charge temperature is always under 10 degrees. I know its expensive but its definatly worth it and if your gonna be running big boost then u must not cut corners on cooling.

ND's iirc has the shortest and most direct no silly bends, have suffered no lag either with it :) Quite hard to fit, (i didnt do it )

coxie i have just posted that a top mount is laggier than the hiteq kit so it should be pretty good and lag shouldnt be an issue :wink:

Ive got an r33 trust front mount, with long, sweeping pipe work made up by me (sort of)
didnt notice any more lag, and car seems to have a little torque (although it only made 240 ish lb/ft at powerstation :cry: )
Mikey also had this kit, with a bigger turbo, and didnt notice any more lag :D

i`ve got the pace front mount kit (piped from the bottom) and noticed no lag even running 0.5bar it seems to have gave it a bit more poke but i aint driven the car for 4months!!!! its quite thin so i guess it`s gonna give minimal lag anyhow!!!

no cutting of the car and i fitted it and piped it up in about 2hours!!!!

Blitz twin core, if it's good enough for Habib and his 500bhp+ car then it should handle most boost levels we will put through it.
