Group buy has now closed guys, but we did manage 8 orders all paid up :)

Just waiting on the tracking numbers from HDi but I believe that 6 kits were send out on Friday while we waited for slow-arse banks to process the last 2 payments.

Thanks to you all for the great response (10 orders in 4 weeks is pretty ambitious methinks).

Ps. for those who didn't make it in, I will probably look at another HDi Group Buy towards mid 2011

thanks for the effort. I was initially interested but with my stagea still being complied and not likely to be sitting in my driveway until after the new years break, and the fact that i'm out of the country for the better part of february, it looked like i was going to buy the cooler and have it sit in the garage til after summer was over. later in the year in time for next summer sounds like a pretty good idea to me...

  • 4 weeks later...

I should really check mine.. I think its wired reversed. lol

I was worried about this, so when I crimped the cables I used some plugs so that Id be able to easily swap them over if I got it wrong. Seems to be okay though!

my temp rockets up when i put the AC on. so im thinking its sucking air from the engine instead.

Easy way to view it is to turn the car on when you know the fan is working, turn it off and quickly run to the front to see which way the fan is turning (should be clockwise and you may need to remove your grill to see it properly). If wrong, simply switch the wires :)

did the same thing!

spade connectors FTW!

Thanks Uncle cam.. yeh i know how to do it.. i just havnt been bothered.. I should really pull the grill off and check.. but the problem is i have to get it to 108c which is only gonna happen when its hot!

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

Likewise. To the point where it spooled up as I started the car after I installed it & the fmic.. which obviously took several hours and everything was well and truely cold by the end of it (and my AC is always turned on)

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

its so much quieter than the stock fan, maybe you dont know its on

Yep, mine too :)

Quieter? You sure?? It is certainly more aggressive pushing air through though!!

(I can hardly remember the stock fan coming on though so I probably can't remember the noise lol)

Intercooler kit installed courtesy of Dale on Sunday.

I've noticed a subtle difference and the fan does not seem as noisy at the original.

I'll be keeping an eye in it in the coming weeks.

Each time I returned to the car today I couldn't help but notice the shiny metal through the lower grill. :banana:

Nice, must admit I was a bit jealous once it started going together...

Did we get the fan direction right?

    • 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.
