The cooler kit cost me $1500 delivered. Although it's a bit more expensive than the equivelent HKS item in my eyes after seeing the quality of the ARC cooler it was money VERY well spent. The ARC cooler is not as big as the HKS Type S in size but it's power rating is more than enough for me. I'd be max 250kw.

Speak to dAVE in the Vic section for more details on them.

Abo Bob - I know this may sound strange but after I put the cooler in I took it for a quick spin and it seemed to come onto boost with a lot more of a punch. I mean it wasn't boosting harder but just seemed to come on with more of a surge and there was a little bit more noise.

It's hard to tell what difference it made as I had the Power FC, FrontDump pipe and Bleed valve installed at once so it's now running 10psi after a dyno tune.

The power is pretty good and the delivery is awesome but I still want more. I don't really know how much more I can do without looking at a turbo upgrade though.

Have a look how restictive the stock dump pipe is! -

You can see round the flange how small the pipe joining into it is. Around 2" would be my guess compared to the 3" I have on now.

Put some more boost into it. I repeatively done back to back runs from 10-13psi and we were gaining 10-15 up high, but midrange was like 20rwkw more, thats were you feel it. Just tell ICE you want some more boost. If you want more power, this is a fix until you get used to it.

Had the car checked on the Dyno on the weekend, turns out was running far to lean at high boostRPM. Looks like my fuel pump had had it :cheers: I need a Bosch 975. Best price so far is $280. With it running a little richer is now making 190kw but boost curve drops at high end. Need to fit a HKS EVC to fix that. With a new controller should be around 200kw. Will post a dyno sheet.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
