What makes the hype?

1.Less than 2 feet IC piping with less than 150 degrees in bends.

Every bend or change in direction of air flow is viewed as potential flow loss. It is estimated at every 90 degrees(or three 30 degree bends)results in 1% flow loss. Compare competitors vs ASTRAY.

EXAMPLE

icbadsetup.jpg

90+45+45+90+90+45+90+90+90 = 675 Degrees/90 = 7.5% flow loss just on piping

2.No battery relocation = No drilling big holes for intercooler piping

3.Able to keep front bumper support

Removing the front bumper support jeopardizes your engine bay in a front collision.

*NOTE: This 240sx would still be able to compete with an ASTRAY IC system as long as the radiator is unharmed.

4.Is not a V-mount IC

V-mount intercoolers are prone to heat soak. V-mount ICs lose efficiency when IC and piping become same temperature as ambient air. This often happens when car is not moving and engine bay temps heat IC.

5.Intercooler as direct cooling, no interferences from cars body parts.

I am thinking that it isnt the ultimate flow.At high speed the air would bank up against it and rather go around as its an easier path

Yeah he needs to customize the bonnet to funnel the air through... lol...

would be better on the roof but...

I like the theory about how removing the supports when installing a FMIC is somehow more dangerous than mounting an intercooler in the middle of your bonnet and obscuring a good chunk of your forward vision...

Looks stupid, IS stupid.

Looks as stupid as this guy getting around town with a pod filter sticking out from his bonnet on an old shitty Honda.

I shit you not, But there used to be a guy getting around Fairfield in an EXA Turbo with a hole cut in the bonnet and atmo BOV sticking straight out about 10-15 cm....That looked stupid.

I also seen several guys with holes cut in the side of front bar and pod filter partially sticking out.

WTF are these guys thinking ?

More so Cooling will be at its maximum.

A good idea but interesting about what they said about the V-Mount intercoolers are prone to heat soak.

That image is not a V-Mount intercooler, I say it's a Top Mount, V-Mounts are like Front Mounts but on an angle, which is similar shape like a "V".

Designed to avoid damage if the front bar has been smashed off.

I find it hard to justify this intercooler system, as the Japanese have been using Front and V-Mount intercoolers in they D1 Drift Battles and other drift events.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
