^^^ Bargain price. My guy charged me a little more & I supplied the boot.

Obviously a discount was given for the thrashing test drive, lol.

Meh, he only drove it about 2 km; not much thrashing in that distance...

Nice one. How come you didn't tackle it on your own Dale?

I knew it was only going to be $100- $150, with a boot at $30-$40; it wasn't worth my while.

I'd rather save money on things I actually enjoy doing.

Like turbo changes...

damn smart call.

even though I *can* there are a few jobs I am happy to get done. CVs is definately on that list

Yep; I've heard of so many people having to rip them back out, to re-do the ties.

Not interested.

I dont blame you on the cv boot.

Anything involving packing grease or chance of spilling more fluid than a normal oil change is banned from being done in my garage.

After accidently dropping a full cressida auto trans off my bench after swapping out the dud, cleaning the mess with that gave me the CBFs with anything messier.

I installed a water to air intercooler on the stag over the last couple of afternoons. The boost response is out of this world compared to a front mount!!!

now that is a big job.....muuuch more detail needed :)

maybe a whole thread ;)

I have a w2a intercooler in a race car I never got around to finishing....

+1 i'd be interested in seeing that too

also, anyone know what its called when you mount the fmic right infront of the rad and move the rad back a bit?

i've seen it done on an s13, makes for super short plumbing!

Okay, I'll attach some photos It wasn't a big job really. What I will say is that it's still a work in progress. There are still a few things that need tidying up to get it how I want it.

The number 1 thing on the list is to install another radiator, I got the kit second hand and the radiator was unusable, so for now I turned up some adaptors and I'm just using the FMIC as the rad. It looks ugly, but it works well. I have a brand new Barina rad here to use, that's it I don't get a specific one to suit the kit.

A guard for around the back of the pump is on its way. Hopefully I'll have something made up by the weekend.

You will notice that the black 90deg reducer bend is a little deformed. This is because the bend is not sharp enough. I bought this from the local parts store as it was all they had. The blue one is from frozenboost and is a much tighter bend. I will try and track down 2 black ones, if I can't find any I will get some from frozenboost. Once I have some tighter bends I should be able to move the intercooler over enough to clear the overflow bottle. I may need to make up some custom fittings that don't sit as proud and also re rout the BOV return to give me a bit more room.

Eventually I may go to Aeroflow push on fittings and hose. I just used standard heater hose which can be a bit prone to kinking but is fine once it's in place kink free. I was a little wary of pressure buildup in the system but my concerns were unfounded. The whole system runs only slightly above ambient and you can't feel any pressure in the hoses even when hot from heat soak.

I drilled and tapped 1/8bspt holes for 2 8mm barbs. One you can see in the pics in the top right hand end tank on the cooler. The second went in the top of one of my front mount tanks. This was to allow all the air out of the system when filling. Without this all the cambers in the system would have only filled up as far as either the inlet or the outlet, whichever is higher. I run some vac lines, teed them up and attached them to the filler body.

It is a bit of a squeeze to get it in but I think it fits reasonably well.

The kit is from frozenboost.com It's their 600HP kit

installed my ox rear underbody brace last saturday and today installed my hdi duel stage boost controller at 10psi and 12psi settings

Why so low boost? I thought stock was 12psi, 14psi on Axis.

Needs moar boost

Yeah i wasnt too sure what the stock was. I was just trying to play it safe i guess till i install my front mount and full 3 inch exhaust. Cheers for the info

well ceramic turbo's can only handle 14psi so it's up to you what u want to load her up with i run16-18psi.

but airbox/fmic and exhaust will raise it up 4psi cos its nice and free flowing

So, the saga continues: 4th dyno run, 4th time lucky, right? Thus far, I've had a blocked cat (run no.1), dodgy gasket (run no.2) and blown the rear turbo (run no.3), all this after my you beaut PWR radiator disintegrated due to poor workmanship.

So, 4th time lucky??

Not on your life! This time it looks like we managed to crack at least 1 piston, but I guess that's the joys of modding lol!

So, back to the mech (yet again) for a fresh, forged set of internals, then we'll show it some decent boost. It lasted damn well for an internally stock engine (it was making 420hp@wheels for about 5 years or so) that had unknown history before I got it...

What this means is my budget for the Toyota 86 has taken a fatal beating, so I guess I'll find another decent daily for the next 12-18 months: looking at a Y34 Gloria/Cedric...

    • 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.
