with that air box it in it going to hit the radiator because that will go to the top of the front bar piece???? cos i was thinking of doing the same but droping my radiator down two inches to clear?????

ben... im drawing up a v mount setup at the moment... dont want to make it until the engine is sitting in its rightful place.

im going to use an MY00 WRX crossflow radiator/thermos/header tank setup... might be something for you to check out..

the wrx radiator is a little bit shorter than the skyline one.. same width though, or close enough.

the early wrx doesnt have the cap on the radiator.. its a pure header tank setup..

btw... great to see the project is moving again.. mine has gone back to the drawing board.. starting all over again.

I'll be converting the Crownie boxes to Alloy soon, i'm at superlap/a wedding this weekend, so i won't get to look at it. The over the radiator intake seems to be vary popular on race cars. Only seem to be the Japs that persist with the pod filter in the guard.

If the new airbox goes to plan, i'll duct from the LH guard to the turbo to cool it.

Well we did some more wiring on the weekend. The car now cranks over, and the fans, ecu and horn work.

When I was at superlap I took lots of pics of the GIO airbox, my original design was very similar, but i'm copying the GMS one now, as it's pretty simple design.

damo is a auto electrition so that helps. it's a trimmed down standard loom, as the factory wiring is small and light. And all the extra bits and peices are single runs tied into the loom. The ABS will be wired with mil-spec, but there isn't enough colours to do all the car.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
