My brother has had to return his 360 a second time after having it die on him after about 4 or so months of ownership. He 'got it fixed' and it lasted for another week before the second break down. He would be able to play the machine for about 5 minutes before it would either come up with a system error or just shut down and flash red lights around the power button. Poor value! :(

Did you know you can buy an intercooler for your xbox 360... :laugh:

Not joking btw...

Do a google search...

yep got one of those the other week... hadn't been having any problems but was a little alarmed by the egg frying temperature of the disks when taken out after a couple of hours playing... its just 3 fans that bolt on the back... seems to extract a lot more air... or I am just a ricer at heart

My brother was considering getting one of those intercoolers before his 360 carked it for the second time. I know someone else with a 360 who hasn't had any issues with it what so ever but he's only a casual gamer so maybe he hasn't played it enough to find the gremlins in the system yet.

Man, i want one of these but i want to mod, does any1 know if i buy one @ K-Mart or Target, they will swap it if it breaks down or do they send away for repairs too?

Actually wouldnt u just be able to re-flash the original firmware back onto it before it went back??

Any1 got a direct link on where to order the cooler? Im an avid gamer and my systems tend to be run days on end :cheers:

You have to open up the console to flash the firmware, when you open the console, you void your warrenty.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
