Ok so this last week i bought myself an arc induction box, you could definatly question the price of these things and if its worth it, but ive always wanted one and its legal

heres a crap pic of the engine bay before hand... typical china coolerpiping

So when i tried to fit the arc box in, my cooler piping was in the way...

obviously this was a problem!

so me and some friends decided to make custom piping, were metal fabricatos by trade s we thought we'd give it a go!

First step was to take off the cooler piping, install the arc box and then build from there...

Some 90 degree bends and a bit of straight

we forgot about the bov, so an old used t piece was required to be modified!!!

i wish i had pics of the bay before hand, its not finished yet, im yet to take it back to work and polish of the welds..

unfortunatly we did this at my house, we didnt have an ac.dc welder on hand so we just made the piping out of 304 stainless

it was my first shot at making custmo anything really, pretty happy with he end result, apart from having to use and old t piece that had already had random welds on it!!

if anyone decides they want to shove in an arc box in thier car n need help with the piping, me and my friend are more than happy to help!

Nice work.

But Every install I've seen has the filter element facing upwards, even the sr20 versions is there a reason it's on it's side? Or you did that to get more air into it? Notice any difference? www.performance-wise.com have copy versions at half the price...

well i figured that was the way it went... never really understood why it faced upwards...

i figure that when i finally get around to making the cold air intake pipe that goes right to the filter it'd be better?

I dunno as well just how I've seen them on rb's and sr's but since your able to get a cold air pipe it would work better, notice a difference?

I honestly dont see the point especially considering the costs IF its not enclosed ..might as well put a $100 apexi pod in there if it's just gonna be sucking in hot engine bay air. Is this at BelGarage by any chance??

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
