I'll have some pics tomorrow probably. Going to go down (all 500 metres away speedworks are from my work) and take some pre-install photo's and trust intercooler goodness... *droool* Hey dave where can I get some of that thermo tape wrap stuff... I might wrap the pipes before they go on? and then do the dump pipe/front pipe to cat when thats done too. Might be an idea to actually wrap some tape around that pipe that goes into the manifold over the engine that seems to get damn hot.

Steve,

It makes sense, the factory one has a small air bleed (hole on the underside) people  mistake for the factory BOV not holding boost at light cruise due to it being so-called 'too lightly sprung for high boost apps'.  

There is someone with a thread about blocking the hole off on the performance section!

I got rid of my stocker BOV for a couple of reasons. For starters the 32's have a recirc pipe the plumbs back into the intake at a point which makes the standard BOV incredibly loud when fitted with a pod filter (most atmo BOV's would be quieter). Secondly, mine used to vent at very very mild throttle adjustments, you could be cruising along the freeway and even mild 5km/h increases in speed, throttle feathering and such produces a loud "PSSSSCCCHHHTTT" sound. Not to mention a horrible rushing air noise when on boost (you couldnt hear the turbo spool or even the engine over it).

It was just plain embarassing. I couldnt drive it sedately without a massive BOV noise on every gearchange. Least the TurboXs one i have now is quiet until you start changing at over 3000rpm. And you can hear the engine note and turbo spool clear as day.

Mine did the same thing, and that simple BOV mod stops that.

I found it frustrating too :D

Now it only opens when there's a decent amount of preasure difference - not 10psi+, but enough not to open at stupidly low boost.

Ok, here are some pre-install pics of the trust cooler. Its a 600x244x76mm core (tube and fin core) as you can see from the photo's its designed to use the standard intercooler pipes in the engine bay (which I think I'll replace at some stage with trust polished aluminum ones anyway). The pipe below the cooler flows from the left side to the right side and up into the engine bay, however if you went for the trust plenum I'm sure you could adapt the piping up the left side of the engine bay. Its going in next wednesday (and the cars getting a much needed service). I'll try and get some pics of it being installed (just walk down to speedworks in my lunch break) and then some more pics once its installed, looks like we'll have to trim some of the stock front spoiler to give more airflow to the cooler. Anyway... enjoy :rolleyes:

Although I have had parts shipped to work so the mrs doesnt find out :D

hahaha ... nice :rolleyes:

That cooler looks sweet man ... should be good when it goes in.

You'll have to take some after shots so we can see it :D

Yeah, will do. Looking forward to getting it in, I wont be running 0.8bar all the time but it'll sure help when I am. You gotta remember though this will be around $3k fitted all up, you gotta be thinking about whether jap stuff is really worth that much when you'd probably get a good aussie job fitted for $2k. Should be more than enough for 450-500hp, which I'll never get to... rather buy a GTR :rolleyes:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
