    Nice video. For GTB/B4 RSK better keep everything stock and get a tune for 98 octane, otherwise the engine will not last long if you don't use 100 octane. Mine is making 340hp and it is pretty fast on the twin turbo setup, also i have the hose 10 mod, bigger fuel pump. My oem radiator was leaking so i put a bigger one, never had any overheating issue even going at 160 km/h on mountain pass in summer. Also ppl should stop installing blow valve and cone because they damage the engine performance. Also you should test a strut tower bar that will help for handling. My 1998 B4 RSK is able to keep up with my friends Evo 5, i am also on semi slick and coilover.

      Your mods sound similar to mine before I went single turbo. Drives really well like that.
      I did have a strut brace on but the sti top mount I had got in the way so I sold it . I think mine would benefit from semi slicks. The front pushes about wide on track under load.

      @@InitialB Get a strut brace, my car is oversteering even on my winter tires. Semi slicks are a massive plus for handling for spring and summer. I wished i had my B4 RSK in Europe but you should contact Misha Charoudin and do a lap with your GTB on the Nurb. This car as an amazing chassis, i used to do the nurburgring on a Renault Megane 3 rs and was destroying tons of Audi RS3, RS4 etc back in my days . This car is so much fun if you have the right setup (tires and suspensions) and it is a sleeper. I did a few run against an evo 5 tuned for 360 hp it was pretty close and it was the same for the corner speed but the evo 5 is a step above

      @@InitialB You gonna be fine haha, just do more test drive on circuits, B road and highway at higher speed. My friends who have GTR, Evo 5 and Ferrari 458 want my car because it is so much fun and retarded. But semi slick and struct brace will change your car. Also 4 pots brakes and coilover will help.

    Great video mate and I agree with all your points. I remember a lot of people had silicone hoses in their engine bay to and from the black box of death as you call it, I think most had issues due to the pills and varying sizes of hoses? I had a Zero Sports cone filter on my BH5, it sounded awesome and the car didn’t feel like it lost power but only a dyno will be able to correctly tell you. Just out of your interests what are your feelings on BOVs on the factory TT setup?

    • @InitialB
      @InitialB  11 місяців тому +1

      Every car I’ve had with a BOV has had a tiny effect to spool during the gearchange. If there’s anything you don’t need in this car it’s some lag. So personally I’d keep that stock. But I’ve not driven one with a BOV on the twins

      @@InitialB When I fitted my BOV to my BH5 it did bring about a bit of lag (I’ve had other single and twin turbo cars with BOVs and no negative effects). Once I fitted a Zero Sports sequential controller, the lag completely disappeared along with the “valley of death” switchover point from single to twin turbo. Really good mod that was. 👍

    no Hayward Scott downpipes? I have a bg5 2nd gen and that's one of the biggest recommendations is get 3inch pipes so those turbos can exhale.

      @@gentlemansbusa2985 don’t know about the bg, but there’s a few BH where the decat downpipe lets the turbo overspool. Kills off the primary pretty quickly
