Good luck finding a core that size.

There is a reason it is a custom job.

PWR make their own low resistance cores from scratch, so they can do whatever size you need.

You may also want to check that it WILL fit.

As stated, I have not made a mock-up from cardboard yet (funds are going elsewhere more important - so I won't be anytime soon either), so I would suggest that you make sure it will fit before going any further Andrew.

Cheers! i'll run them drawings by my friend for a custom job :banana:

will have to go thru his book of cores to use now!

keep me posted....before summer would be awesome. Might be better to keep to the original diameters in the pipe though as it will reduce modification for a straightbolt on version....yes/no?

P.S. At the size posted Cam, what are you going to do about the thermo fan? Will it fit?

Should fit with the standard thermo fan... maybe.

I went that size because it looks like it may fit under the bulk of the thermo fan.

The fan motor stops us using the taller coolers (unless you remove it for a slimline unit), which is why I went 80mm deep.

Should have almost the same volume as one of those huge Greddy units.

I should mention that the ARC cooler is 100mm and fits behind the RS front bar easily, so you could, in theory, get away with an intercooler that is about the height of the Dolphin unit 190mm IIRC, and be 600mm length which would give you closer to the Greddy volume, but would be very unobtrusive.

Craig, Ive got and electronic boost controller on mine and it still drops off boost a little in the top end I think its because the turbo is too small and doesnt flow enough at high rev's

Hi Dan

Have you checked your PCV valve? When Craig changed his he said he had more boost and mine was seriously bleeding off as it was totally rooted. My PCV valve was sticking open and only getting 9psi.

Just pull it out, turn it upside down, if the plug falls down and leaves it open then it is stuffed.

I replaced mine when my turbo was smoking b4 I got the gt30. Mine to was bleeding back into the motor under boost.

my rpm is not steady anymore!

hmmm....!!!!Don't want to say anything but........how bad?....when was your last oil change?

lol the turbo is fine dude, but yes it DOES need an oil change. which ill do soonish........

How is the Haltech going Craig?

Has the tune given you the benefits you wanted?

what has the biggest gain power or economy?

Cheers

Andy

LOL....F$#KING GOOD QUESTION ANDY

Economy is awsome.....getting inbetween 9.5 and 9.9 on the freeway....could only ever get 7.8 to 8.2 before.

Power from 2,500 till 5,000 is absolutely awsome as well!!!!!!....pity I cannot rev it above about 5,000rpm without it losing power or backfiring...apparently this is normal because knowone ever rev's there car past 4,000rpm :D ....so I am told!!!!......lol...your f$#ked if you have a high flow like me according to them....being that I highflow only starts working properly at 3,800 on the M35.

I have no good news other than I will get it sorted and one day my car will rev to the limiter again!....even though I have been told that this is not normal for people do :) ....will I release the information one I get it sorted back to Maltech? NO!!!!! :D ....well no unless they are willing to pay for it as I am having to pay for the R & D myself....you would think that this being the first M35 they would be anxious to do this.....but no!...... apparently I am a pain in the arse because I want my car to rev to 6,500rpm without backfiring or losing power.

Will I ever go Haltech again? Up to them.....but if I get it sorted first.....F$#KING NEVER!!!!

What conclusions have you come to Craig?

I have issues with my ecu also as the throttle lag is bloody dangerous. Im hoping to find a spare ecu in japan and ship it to KSrom for a chip. From what ive read they have fixed the lag and im guessing the airflow r&r issue. As they are so cheap, they are possibly the best option if you already have a copgyback,(cant write p*ig? totalitarian website developers!) at least untill someone here cracks the ecu.

I should have gone E-Manage and don't listen to sales bullshit again!!!

1. Checked with the dyno guy to see that he had clamped the voltage on the signal from the airflow meter. - Done

2. Checked this is even worth going ahead with by doing a long trip to see wether fuel consumption was better - Done

3. Have tried dropping the boost all the way back to 7PSI.....still has the same problem just with less power. - Done

4. Cleaned airflow meter, throttle body and fliter - Done

5. Need to find someone to make up a bigger airflow meter unit to reduce the voltage and see wether that work....will have to go back on the dyno though.

6. Go down to VIC one day and see wether Cihan can fix.

8. Suggestions ...... I will try anything

All else fails I will sell the Haltech or burn it.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
