best way to describe the power gain

......give your car a good hit on a 35 degree day.....then take it out and give it the same hit on a cold misty night.

the difference is the power gain you will see.

As we run fairly high boost, yes it will make a fair difference, especially on hotter days. Worth the cash? I wouldnt bother until the exhaust and highflow is done.

good point .. i noticed virtually no difference on stock turbo.

but i know its taking away alot more heat from that turbo and engine and i live in qld so thats important for summer on its way. power difference though i wont see it until a hiflow or like craig says.. take it out on a really cold night vs a hot day.

Agreed with Scott, i installed one on mine.. its pretty much the same piping as before, and half the intercooler doesnt get cooled behind the reinforcement bar.

it would only make a differenct with the exhaust and HF turbo..

Things i noticed was a smoother accelaration, and a slightly earlier response.

i thought it was worth the money, but.. yeh

I converted mine to ball bearing and high flowed the turbo. i still didnt notice much "extra power" but I noticed a smother acceleration I guess. To agree with you the cooler wouldnt really pull much more air in seeing as the "intake pipe" (air filter to turbo) is the same size, much like the stock dump-cat, its small and restrictive.

but then I put scottys custom dump on. I think the 3 mods together (HDI FMIC/bb-HF turbo/dump back exhaust) made a huge difference. although the dumping of fuel is annoying.

Im really eager to see what the cooler will do in the summer. hopefully better.

its more the size of the cooler and the flow rate of the cooler that would give it more air than the stocky if anything. bearing in mind mine is alot stealther and less flow behind the number plate and the grill too. i bet yours has slightly more exposure there.

i put mine on today. looks the goods in the aero front bar. no holes needed :P

it seems there is some lag around 3k. i thought it wasnt revving that high for some reasoin but i just put my boot into it and it went nicely past it :)

yeh slightly abit more exposure since I go an angle grinder n cut some of the number plte holder n the fins out of the fron bar..

I thought of what Craig did with the GTR styles vents but.. i'm not to comfortable cutting through the reinforcement bar.. especially since im still on my P's..looks great though!

get an aero front bar, the opening is larger!

ill take a pic next time i go outsite

Yeh I would, I actually like them.. BUT.. because of the AR-X's so called "wide body kit" I can fit them on without spending another $1000 on top to putty and fill things in and paint fenders and boots n yeh.

not the effor to get a couple more mm's of air.

how does that work.. is it legal to drive for you still and just not to own ?

whats the deal there on your p's ?

already did that. just without the gtr vents

and yeh i put a mesh on it to.. after i took the pic.

and does the axis front actually fit? or is it going to cost a house like the converions to the 2005 headlights. even though they are nice(no offence)

No. :blink:

LMAO Scott

*QUOTE?*how does that work.. is it legal to drive for you still and just not to own ?

no, no, and it works... just.

nah when I bought the Car I got approval from vic roads to drive it, because its an import they didnt have much knowledge about it. i took a couple of pictures, sent it with a description being a low perfomance Turbo charged vehicle/Family Wagon.

they sent me an approval saying I'm allowed to drive the car with VIN#...

its not so low powered anymore ..but only a month left on P plates :unsure:

lol.. the outside is stock. the only thing you can hear is the exhaust n the ball bearing whining..

n yeh that enough to get done. but stock the turbo is Ball Bearing( so ive been told/just really quiet ones) n my excuse is, it broke so i 'rebuilt' it

exhaust? got epa'd and was exactly on the DB limit(not any more since the dump install)

and intercooler, standard is front mount. tell the cop to try looking for a good one.(this is where everyone on the forum doesnt have one..shh.)

BOV is plumb back.

its an AR-X a midget could walk under my car(slight exageration.. only slight)

i dont race. i dont see a point in competion with other P platers and their dads Commonwhores. and I wouldnt stand a chance against a 1000+/-kg evo.

I drive the car coz i like it.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
