hey all

im slowly slowly tidying up my engine bay, and just wanted to know if there was any idea out there that might help with the look of my engine bay....

I would only use 3 colours to detail your engine bay. They would be black, chrome and colour that suits your car. The only prob is its hard to stop once you start :)

Id look at getting a cover for your battery and fuse box, braided lines with silver fittings or colour that suits your car, one piece pipe for your pod and tidy up the wiring(re tape)

Or you could go 2GUUP style ;)

rocker covers have been painted, just a silver colour, nothing to flash, but it looks much better than what they did,

and the engine cover is still that black/silver/red.

and suggestions colour wise for the engine cover?

ive heard that if you braided line you have to do everything braided line......is this true? or could i just do like the main hoses and whatnot you will be able to see?

what about getting the silicon hoses for the radiator? what are your thoughts on that? id go blue, because the colour for the car is blue (hence why she has the blue bits on the intake piping)

also no point in spending over $1000 on a greddy plenum when my car is non turbo :whistling:

ive painted my extractors too

I'm thinking bout spraying the NEO cover. Too many hoses and what not messing up the look of it otherwise :down:

how about enclosing your pod (cover over top)?

im not too sure what colour to do the neo cover tho? i think if i do it blue it will be too much of an overkill with the blue silicon hoses on the intake pipe

arnt braided lines illegal in adelaide, like defectable?

not sure to be honest

    • 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.
