hey im new to skyline australia this is my first post and im also new to skylines

um i got a r33 gts25t

im wanting to get a wastgate installed and another blow off vlave so it can have the blow off valve noise that the stock 1 dosent

how much am i looking at for the wastgate and wheres a good place to get that done close to frankston thnx

I'd probably read a bit into what a wastegate actually is and does first. Any stock skyline turbo has a built in wastegate, external wastegates are only normally used on larger turbo's that require them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastegate

Both an external wastegate and extrnal venting BOV are noisy and illegal. If you get caught with them you'll have to remove them and go for an EPA inspection. I would strongly recommend against it if your car is a daily and you don’t want cop attention.

dude i would read the post here in the sticky, a bov will set u back 300 bucks and your car will be miss firing all the time. 2 weeks later u will take it off. the screamer pipe will come off with 4 weeks also. and if u don't take it off, the epa inspection will.

A GOOD mushroom pod is 100 bucks and legal, sounds good also :blush:

gotta be careful cause u may get an epa and major defect, not really worth it. Trust me i went through it recently, a pod is the way to go (HKS)

if you want to see how loud your car will be with POD filter

pop the bonnet, undo the top lid of the std airbox and take the top lid off

drive around for about 30 seconds

thats how loud your car will be a POD

youll find you wont need to change the BOV or do anything

the stock one is loud as once you fit a POD filter

Keep the plumb back bov, the cops around here (frankston) are pretty good, no need to give them reasons to look at every skyline around here, not that there is many.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
