hi guys,

what is your opinion on running the intercooler piping back under the cooler and up the same side as the air box. i have been told that in order to run it up the battery (driver) side i will have to install a smaller battery facing longways. As it is an auto dont want to run out of charge and have to get jump started. as i have already purchased cooler with pipe goung out either side do you think the bend back under the pipe will be too restricting?

This is the style of pipework I use, goes though the inner guard under the battery in the Stagea (under the windscreen washer bottle in the picture which is an R33GTST, they have the batttery in the boot).

I have piping that comes out under my battery, but I have a smaller battery, BUT I dont really need a smaller battery, for pics go through the pics in the link in my sig, I cfb right now :P

FYI My Oddessy battery has 880CCA, and it is teeeny tiny!

SKA- i was looking at your pics of your fmic piping under the battery tray, and i was wondering if your piping sits lower than your chassis?

But i think what stagon is talking about is running the piping through the battery tray ie:cutting a hole in the battery tray meaning he would have to turn the battery so it sits side on so the piping fits through with the battery still there.

like with most fmic kits you buy for 180's and skylines etc...

just a question when running the intake side under the battery tray through the side i now have no room for my window washer bottle :banana: hows everyone else doing it with the same setups??? or do u just get a smaller washer bottle from soemthing else????

mines the 26 but it still runs through the same spot just under the battery tray but just above the chassis rail.

ideas peoplz???

:)

heres a pic of where my pipe runs through the body

Yes Cyrus, you are wrong. Your pipes go under your chassis rails like mine did. You have no hole cut.

As far as how low it sits, ive never had any problems at all with hitting my pipes. Infact, they sit pretty high compared to the front bar.

My pipes are for sale if anyone is interested.

cost me $250 and a case of beer all up, once i sold my standard intercooler :whistling:

only thing im yet to do is mount the "Modified" washer bottle

hey andy is that a modified stock stagea washer bottle is it or another one from a different car?

i gotta sort something out for mine now that i can actually drive the old girl ;)

my piping (3") and greddy type r bov (big sucker) are under the spot so i got absolutely stuff all room unfortunately. might have to make up an aluminium one to suit the room i have.

i just cut off a section of the washer bottle, and used some plastic from a bucket to cover where it was chopped off. then used silicone to stop any leaks. not the most professional job but it sits inside the drivers side inner gaurd so you cant see it anyway.

i still havnt figured out how i will mount it yet, i'll work something out when i get around to putting it back on

I'd be a fan of getting a front feed manifold, or midifying the standard to front feed, for less clutter.

Ive heard that the shorter the inlet tract, the better the throttle response... thats what its about in the end, right? perfomance? id make it a short as possible. im not one for dressy engine bays, function over from under the bonnet.

MAKE it fit!

So has anyone actually cut the battery tray so the intercooler pipe can go through there.

Not the side like cruiseliner but the top section the actual battery tray?

So, where would the battery go? I know i dont want a battery in the same cabin as me incase I roll over and get battery acid all over me.

This isnt a Silvia :whistling:

i think you may be right there, jason. Cos it is designed to be side fed, really. But a GTR inlet manifold... would it fit, and would it be a better option? I can get greddy front feeds from a supplier in japan. worth it? or not unless you really go big?

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
