car bra any good for temp use on the car when driving on the freeway.....thinking of getting one made up (going to b for dirt cheap thnx to mates contacts)...just want to avoid shit hitting the intercooler and bending the vents...getting a mesh on the intercooler was an option but not much room between the front bar and the intercooler...:(

any advice for me? :D

What material would the car bra be made of? Is it breathable? If not, how the hell are you meant to get air flow to your intercooler if you're blocking it? :blink:

I used to drive my car to work through the industrial estates, trucks everywhere, shit on the roads and never ending roadworks....Cooler was fine, copped a few bugs which wash off easily enough.

It was powdercoated, never had stone chips or anything

lol...ya ill be making sure its breathable...not tht dumb...lol...not sure about the materail...this guy who owns a car bra shop is getting it done so expect it to be a good materail...

mine isnt...got too many of my vents bent from just one drive up and down from shepperton for deca...got heaps bent...so only coz i am getting one cheap and meant to be a good quality one i am thinking of getting it...but have no idea about them so was asking what material is the best and is it really a good option to prevent any furthur damage on the intercooler?

have too many stone chips on the car...the lip looks disgusting.. :(

lol I don't think car bra will cover cooler, that's just silly

you wrecken? i am not sure how the guy is going to make it...but ill only get one if it is made to protect my cooler from bugs and shit from bending the vents and let the cooler breath as close to it s max as possible....

They're fins not vents..

Never really seen any XR6 turbo's with car bras, but I'm sure they make em...it's probably a flexible mesh over the cooler intake...Wouldn't really leave the bra on when thrashing it though, would more than likely reduce the air flow through the cooler

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
