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

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
