hey all

need a piece of custom intercooler piping made up?

anywhere in melbourne anyone can suggest?

at the right price?

cheers

:laugh:

u get what u pay for :wave:

any decent metal fabricating shop can make it up for you.

any exhaust shop can make it for you ...

etc ... ;)

heck, ive made exhausts and i/c piping before ...

It aint easy!

My 2c....its not hard to do right but its easy to get wrong. For good quality custom job it will cost up to $600...there is easily 8 hours work in doing it plus materials

hehe i know that all too well, godamnit

make sure you get the ends of each pipe lipped so to prevent hose blow-off!

awww, where is the fun in that ... no fun at all ... NONE ...

also get heavy duty t clamps

shyte all over regular hose clamps in every way, just dont crush the aluminium, (if ur pipes end up being made out of alloy)

:P

So far it has taken me around 8 hours to get 90% of the pipework complete for mine.

There is a lot of measure, mark, measure, fit, mark, measure, weld....

Mandrel bent sections are fantastic. If you do it by hand, make sure you have at least a miter box, and a hacksaw blade that is suitable for high speed steel so that you can get a nice clean and straight cut.

to save some money you could source the parts yourself,

Tubesales in Thomastown deliver high quality stainless steel bends and straight pieces anywhere in melbourne for around the $10 mark, if you are from the east side it is definately worth having it delivered,

the bends are approx $23 each and the 3 inch stainless is approx $16 per meter.

I found it to be pretty cheap.

they are in the white pages and are pretty good to deal with.

    • 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.
