Why do they call that an aero-kit? Its a body kit, clearly not built or designed for aerodynamics.

When they cost 400 bucks and are designed for a Neon, they call em body kits. When they are over 3000 and go on a GTR, they call em aero kits
I'm still not sure why they go to such lengths with a movie car.
Wait, yes I do...promotion. Duh.

Wastegate most likely. Basically an air dump to keep from overboosting.

Exhaust and it's on both sides, it's just hard to see the other side in the pics.

that was my only guess was blowoff. but i couldnt figure out out why they would spend the time/weight to pipe it out of the engine bay.

Yup has to be wastegate dump, though its odd seeing a car that loves twin set ups getting a single turbo.

Blow off is different than wastegate dump.

o, i always thought a blowoff valve and wastegate were the same thing. like i said, just not educated on the boosted stuff.
Blowoff happens between the turbo and throttle body, wastegate happens between the exhaust manifold and turbo (or inside the turbo).
The first keeps high pressure out, the second prevents high pressure from happening. Both are essentially bypasses.
If you dump the wastegate out the side you get to see the flames and hear the noise. Most systems route it back into the exhaust for safety/emissions reasons.

always loved the ff movies. i remember the 1st one hit the theater with tons of buddies out in lake geneva wisconsin (the showboat) left there with my buddy in his old el camino and he left some marks in the parking lot that night. may have got the best of him when the car was in a ditch into a tree not long after. then came the cheesy vw golf's with stripes and my vw jetta old school crank sun roof, lol.
fun stuff.
anyways sweet ride. i believe the gt-r is the only super car that is actually made on the assembly line mixed with the everyday other cars

Yes it's the wastegate, but the exhaust is the big black hole in the bumper, not like your picture which is of entirely different car.
As can been seen dumping spent gases out the black hole here:

They say the body work is what keeps the car cool enough to run it's track days, and is also their reasoning to using 100 octane gas over 91.
The silver car posted is his other car, and those are in fact the exhausts.
[/thread]
Different car, same tuner. Note the SP Engineering watermarks. :mrgreen:
The main point was that they aren't going to build a car like that which runs on 100 octane only to plumb a single 1.5" exhaust pipe that dumps behind the front wheel. ;-)
The author is not perfect at his descriptions. But notice he says "exits", two.
"Performance wise there is nothing special about this car, it runs the stock 480 HP those early models came with, except it’s been equipped with the mother of all R35 exhausts…
…taking full advantage of those side exits that were originally designed into the BenSopra aero kit. Two custom “screamer” pipes were fabricated and connected up to the actuator side of the exhaust housings of the stock IHI blowers to vent gasses directly out the side of the car. "
I didn't quite catch the bolded part the first time. Now it's clear.
Wastegates. There are black exhausts coming out of the rear bumper on the silver car.
We did that on a few turbo Hondas back in the day, the wastegate dump out the side of the bumper. They're not THAT loud. They're loud, but not THAT loud.
