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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
