Good one Dave, I presume all the gear I sent over arrived safely?

Rob

Hi Rob,

all's good, arrived Tuesday, nice machining - nice kit.

Next high comp motor being worked out - custom pistons on order. Your cradle will be in this new engine together with a 88mm compressor.

The current compressor is getting it's exhaust housing opened up a tad...............................................

Thanks for your support.

what was the reasonin behind leaving the air-air intercooler on with you running methanol?

just ignore ash and the other twats, and kepe posting specs etc for the rest of us!

You beat me to the question shanef.. even the nitrous wouldn't be that much of a power adder.. more so to get the turbo up to speed on the line?

Not sure if i quite know what your trying to ask me - please elaborate.

As for the NOS - that can be used in a few areas when i require it , differant stages of ramp, out of the hole or even top end - varies.

other intercooler setups i have seen when the engine has been run on methanol, have run no intercooler at all, only a pipe joining the plenum to the turbo

Compressed air equals heat generation, a meduim such as an intercooler in this scenario is simply a short burst heat sink, unlike in street or circuit appplications.

Laten heat of evaporation will only remove so many btu's in a given period, so if the air intake with no cooler is say 80 deg and the Methanol evaporates at X thus adding extra cooling in the velocity stacks and through to the cylinders - yes. Well if there is a plate and fin heat sink in place between the two and the temp exiting the cooler and entering the intake is say 32 deg then it has to be denser and cooler already before introducing the methanols cooling charertaristics as well.

got to be better than with out - wouldn't you think? See below. Also look up - Isothermal and adiabatic expansion

The input of energy required by a change of state from liquid to vapor at constant temperature is called the latent heat of vaporization. When a liquid undergoes a change to vapor state at normal boiling point the temperature of the liquid will not rise beyond the temperature of the boiling point.

The specific latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapor without a change in temperature.

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
