Thermodynamics. Higher boost pressure = more heat.

For the same turbo yes. But when people are running different turbos etc then the thermodynamics of each compressor vary greatly and I think its an assumption to thing that say a GT35R running 20psi will heat the inlet air more then -5s at 17psi

.....I think what he is trying to say is that a 4L motor on an XR6 requires less boost (since its a bigger container) to get same airflow and HP as a 2.6 Litre motor does all things being equal - and therefore is concluding there is less heat to take out (due to less boost required) and hence a smaller intercooler for same or similar effective output....

...I did read that the Hybrid coolers flow real well with very little pressure drop even at some big numbers. But when you look at the inlet temp at the manifold its higher then you would like to see. Whats the general rule of thumb on inlet temps again? Its something like 10deg C is 1% of hp ?!?!?!?

What is peoples experience of intercoolers and inlet temps? I have alway observed an inlet temp within 20deg of what my AC says is ambient temp. No idea if thats good or not...i know I have a HKS air filter and no cold air shroud around it

How good are ARC coolers? Got one on my gtr, looks to be 70ish mm thick, delta fin style I think, definetly not bar and plate or tube and fin...

Would they support mid to high 300kw at 20 plus psi? It isnt that thick, could this be a problem?

It Came with the car otherwise I would of still be running the stock one lol

It's fine. Steve has a 70 mm ARC well past 400.

Daniel with the Midori 34 has a 70 mm ARC and has cracked 400 with 2530's.

Interestingly they mention the magic 400kw on their front page and offer a 'big' intercooler for it...

Doesn't say how big - just in the 'intake size'.

And read the rest of the sentence :)

If chasing numbers in the 400 rwkW plus range you can order what is known in-house as the BIG BIG cooler. Still using the same intercooler core this until has a larger alloy cast end tank that takes a 63mm inside diameter hot side intercooler pipe

Anyway I'm going on holidays for a fortnight. Keep discussing, i'll return and call you all wrong in 2 weeks :P

3500 RPM = 150 RWKW 400 nm

4000 RPM = 210 RWKW 500 nm

4500 RPM = 300 RWKW 610 nm

5000 RPM = 355 RWKW 660 nm

5500 RPM = 395 RWKW 655 nm

6000 RPM = 412 RWKW 645 nm

6500 RPM = 412 RWKW 590 nm

7200 RPM = 412 RWKW 545 nm

Limited to 7500 RPM, and running out of injectors

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
