A cold Air intake system on your car will cost $790. (NM35 2001)

I spose that isn't too bad, if the system gives good results.

We can also piggy back an aftermarket ecu and boost controller plus tune for $3000.

woah, that sounds pretty over the top, unless they are using a top of the line ECU / Boost Controller.

Just some food for thought, if anyone wants to know who quoted me this as you are interested send me a PM :laugh:

EDIT 1: I've just emailed them asking what brand/model products they would use for this fitout.

FYI, I'm still talking to the chap who was going to do the tune on "project axis"

Says he's almost ready (99%), but needs to source a CPU ex Japan as backup insurance. I believe I saw a couple on Importmonster this evening, and there was also mention of a half cut import being brought to WA. The ECU should be available shortly.

He's talking a whole lot less that that figure.

As a matter of interest, I found a company that says it can address the slow launch on drive by wire cars.

This is a small part of the tune offered by the tuner mentioned above.

I'll let you know how it goes when we move forward.

I was quoted today $1500 for a Haltech Interceptor and Dyno tune. I thought this sounds quite reasonable.

Don't our cars already have a cold air intake? That is why the intake sits above the radiator for air under the front lip of the bonnet.

Ok, sounds like the Powerduct at $180 would be a good buy.

Cheers

Yeah, I thought they were having themselves on.

I'll await the reply as to what products they have quoted on using, that will provide even more of a laugh I think :down:

CAI for $790? Sounds expensive. Further info?

eg does it include a pod filter? any cutting in the engine bay performed? Is it legal?

Piggyback ecu for $3000? I think I know who you have been talking to.

I believe that they use the Haltech 350z Platinum as a piggyback in that particular install.

You would be better off buying an eManage Ultimate with additional sensors and get you turbo hiflowed for that kind of money...

Unless it is a ViPEC install & tune

bloody expensive...you can redo your turbo and ECU for cheeper.

I only have the ECU to go :down:

+1 :P

send cameron (iamhe77) a PM. he has a good DIY cold air intake on his car!

Cam put a pipe underneath the airbox, unfortunately thats where I placed the catch can. Im making an alloy powerduct today, hopefully it looks better than just leaving the hole open.

Hey Cam,

I noticed your link mate... one question in the first photo your air filter is blue... mine is pink... hahaha

I'm guessing colours don't make a difference here? But I'm going to try out what you said about the rest... Good work! ahaha

I thought you were going to ask "one question" Lachlan.

My filter is an Amsoil Nanofibre filter which I find to be quite good.

Most of the pink ones are from a general service and are throw away items.

Colors don't make a difference at all, but wha the filter is comprised of makes ALL the difference :blush:

Haha, sorry Cam. Got a bit ahead of myself.

Ok, I took the airbox panel off a while ago.

But the other part will hopefully be done this weekend...

is there anything else I can do to make my stag go harder that isn't to do with electrical?

http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/f/S/ag_07shelbygt_coldair.jpg is that illegal?

Something like this could go well! hahaha http://www.torquenstein.net/viper_for_sale...ir%20Intake.jpg

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
