    Driver's Side Boot Release

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    i had a bit of trouble today where i accidentally locked my keys in the boot (r32 gts-t) and soon realised that the drivers side release was not working. big pain in the ass as i had to pull out the back seat, parcel shelf and one of my speakers to stick my hand through to pull the keys back out.... not recomended!!!

    anyway, have looked at the release and it is in the right position ie. not locked so only the key will open it. i think the latch position is down... and the boot still wont open.

    does anyone know how to fix this problem or even what to look for???

    Cheers in advance

    Upgrade Help

    i am looking at upgrading the turbo on my rb20det for a high flowed one rated to 450 hp with actuator for 14psi. current mods include turbo back exhaust plus will be gettin a fmic shortly.

    what other mods will be required due to the increased size of the turbo??

    thanks in advance....

    Nope, the intercooler has an efficiency, say 70%. That's means it drops the inlet temp to 70% of the difference between the turbo compressor exit temp and the ambient air temp.

    With good ambient air supply ie; 25 degrees into compressor

    Ambient air temp = 25 degrees

    Compressor outlet temp = 65 degrees

    Intercooler efficiency = 70%

    65 - 25 = 40 X 70% = 28 degrees temperature drop accross the intercooler

    Intercooler exit temp = 65 - 28 = 37 degrees

    With POD sucking hot air under bonnet ie; 50 degrees into compressor

    Ambient air temp = 25 degrees

    Compressor outlet temp = 90 degrees

    Intercooler efficiency = 70%

    90 - 25 = 65 X 70% = 45.5 degrees temperature drop accross the intercooler

    Intercooler exit temp = 90 - 45.5 = 45.5 degrees

    That's 8 degrees higher inlet temp which is worth about 5% in horsepower loss. And 50 degrees air inlet temp to POD is conservative, the water in the radiator is around 85 degrees, so it's not unusual to see that sort of inlet temp.

    The bottom line, quality ambient air feed is very important.

    :D cheers ;)

    thats all good but your not taking into account the restricted flow of the pannel filter box compared to the 3" pipe of a pod filter...

    mould have gone to the cops and let them know as well man

    i had a woman that side swiped me about a year ago from the drivers door to the rear drivers pannel (about $1000 damage)

    she said shed pay ...

    got all her details and she ended up paying $80 3 months later and not returning any phone calls after that. went to the cops and they basically said stiff shit...

    good old boys in blue
