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 so when you get done youll get done for no p's and driving a high powered m35 :P

dont get caught racing eh :blink:

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.

    • 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.
