R34 is getting re-tuned tonight! I will post before and after results...........

Can't wait to see the results...

Just did a similar intake for HEKT1K, should help with his 3071's power, the rubber intake was sucking closed at 250kw also.

I'm keeping Trent busy, should get commissions. lol.

OK, so it turns out the new intake made a significant difference.

Old tune- 260.3Rwkw

414.9Nm

New tune- 291.7Rwkw

492.1Nm

Thanks to Scotty nm35 for the intake work.

Thanks to Trent from Status tuning for yet another awesome tune!

wait are you saying you gained 31rwkw's by using this pipe?? or were there other changes?

Just the pipe, a different pod and tune.

Good result, as I said there was another easy 30kw in the intake but i'm impressed by the nearly 80nm torque gain too. How does it feel now?

Now get some ethanol in the sucker James. :down:

Yes battery, the standard intake(with metal forced in to stop it sucking shut) was just to restrictive.

It feels very strong Scotty....

Its funny you mention the E85, Trent and I were talking about it and will be my next power mods(bigger injectors and pump).

But I will be up for new semis soon and badly need a 2way, so more power will have to wait :P

I am looking forward to seeing how it goes at Winton on Tuesday....

I thought i would post up more of Scott's handiwork. Here's the intake pipe he did for me the other day

No issues with reversion or anything like that, and should look nice and stealth once i hit it with some matte black paint

EDIT: photos aren't the best, i might put up some more photos when i pull it off to paint it this weekend

looks tops mate i cant wait to get one too :ermm:

more pics!!! :ermm:

bah... if i'd known you did this scotty i'd so have employed your services!! i too found the limits of the rev210 intake mod and got Chasers to fab me up a full metal intake pipe, standard BOV and airbox, couple 45 degree bends... so it was pretty straight... fairly pricey though as apparently it was quite fiddly to get right.

Don't you regulars read this Fabrication forum, Trent mentioned yesterday he didnt know I fabricated. (I dont want to tell too many people. lol)

It is quite hard to get right, the bov piping is a pain and takes longer to fabricate than the suction pipe.

damn... wonder what my car would have made... we ran it on the dyno to check AFR's after putting it in (chasers, not status) and everything was fine, actually said there was still quite a bit in just going of the AFR's. Oh well, something for the new owner to have a nice surprise about.

Generally where there is more airflow, you would need more fuel so the top end should lean out with 30kw more. Good that you checked afr's before selling, most people would have flogged it without bothering with the intake at all I guess.

Did you swap to dino fuel map or leaving it on E85? What are you upgrading to?

Wow scotty by the looks of things, your work is amazing, the pipes come out looking really nice and a 80nm increase from the intake pipe thats crazy dude. Good to hear people are doing awesome fabrications here. im starting to like this section of the forums :)

Thanks but the gain comes from removing the intake restriction, not adding my pipes. :)

I think the lobster bends come out looking great if you can keep them narrow with even angles and width.

The response can be improved by the tuner afterward, allowing him to increase the timing and lean out the fuel coming onto boost, with less restriction in the intake.

show off!

APPARENTLY - my suction pipe to the Turbo restricts the total output at 200kw if I was to go ahead and tune the bugger, so before this day comes, me and scott are doing mine too which is apparently a bitch of a job hopefully i can pull much more out of my turbo'd fridge on e85

Scott does good work. reccomend him fabrication for such things like these. instead of getting a dodgy to do em.

i dont understand, why have a larger intake pipe when the intake on the turbo is smaller?.... your restriction will always be the turbo intake pipe on the compressor housing

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
