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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
