Yes, very nice. You will definately need those with the heavy GTR.... What are you doing with the old ones? Might be suited to very light GTST....

my car might be closer than ive made out...got some nice brakes for the circuit car today too Stewie...How does 375mm 6 spot AP's grab ya.

did you take your medication today Jas?

With all those tight bends it will be interesting to see the pressure differential between your turbo (making the boost) and the plenum (pressure going into the head)
Im not knocking it dude, and I can easily see it is the only path for it, just interested in how it will affect the pressure.

Sorry, it's my engineering background nit picking.

If mine is anything to go by it wont affect pressure at all. I have some crazier bends than adrian owing to me wanting to do things a certain way and it certainly has no problems throwing up 500 plus ponies at the treads.

Once boost is made the whole system is under constant pressure so i fail to see how bends can have too much effect.

Are you saying that you have the same pressure at the turbo as at the plenum? and no pressue drop?

Having a big volume of air going through those pipes with bends or reducers does affect airflow.

Especially under boost.

Although, for this application it may not be so important, i.e. 10secs at full throttle.

Think of why restrictors, aka washers, are used to control airflow in turbo cars in plenty of classes of motorsport to slow down the airflow.

also think of things like match porting exhaust manifolds or intake manifolds/plenums instead of leaving the sizes different?

2 stroke exhausts with expansion chambers are another example?

Should I continue?

Anyway, as Adrian has pointed out already, the piping runs are dictated by the space available. It's quite clear that this is the case.

And when you run out of boost to throw in it you can always get a fist full of Maccas straws, connect them together, run them from a hole in the intake and blow into it from the drivers seat, i know you can build some pressure Adzy boy :laugh:

You would blow half of the Viet pro's out of their knickers, literally. Ha, pity you cost more, my bottom still hurts lol

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA......<big breath in>....BWAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!

Had the radiator serviced and a new cap fitted. It was more blocked than I thought so it should be all good now. Mounted and wired up the 2 x Maradyne thermo fans using both the factory switch and a manual override so I can have them on even if the engine thinks they're not needed. Also wired up the low-oil pressure switch and light and the Tech Edge Wideband unit and display. The backlight on the display is really good and dead-easy to read. Very impressed.

    • 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.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
