when i first looked at the pic of the beanie on my phone i thought it was just a really bad mould of tne heatshield so i just checked.

Purchased some of the acl heatshield and gonna make up new heatshields during the week

There isn't and advantage it's just the way Nissan designed the throttle arrangement.

Every R34 NA RB25 I've ever seen has been that way.....

I wouldnt say there is no advantage.. quite the opposite.

Having a working twin runner setup with the right lowmount turbo gives me almost 1000rpm faster spool on my highflow and thats without VCT atm as well..

anywho back on topic.. get the ACL stuff, take ur time and it will be great

that would be more to do with the increased compression, but thats a topic for an entirely different thread.

nope, this was back to back having it full open all the time or working as designed..

Have you compared it with a properly R&D manifold that doesn't have the dual openings at all?

Your comparison is of that inlet being full open VS closed. That doesn't tell us if it is any better then a normal single inlet manifold.

well yavuz thinks its awesome and alot better than the standard one and thats good enough for me.. It might start to cause an issue above the 300-330kw mark though, then again if you were to start trying for more power than that u would need a highmount and thus this cant be used..

This took me 2 hrs with beer breaks, my expensive turbo beanie fell apart in 3 months, material cost $56 at super cheap, so far so good.

Oh sh*t i was just about to purchase one of those Beanies.... Assume its GCG? :O

Have you got any pics of how you supported the heat shield? What has the difference been between the temps with the beanie and with just the heat shield??? :huh:

To tell you the truth I have removed the heat shield, worked fine but was to shiny for my black engine bay, Im looking at getting one of the benies in the link from Revolution Race Gear, the quality is 100% better than the one I got from "torque in a shoebox", I spoke to them about my old one falling apart due to it not being engineered correctly, the R R G ones are constructed to take high heat, they make them for race cars.

As for fitting, I used the 2 rear power steering bracket bolts which held it fine.

what about some high temp exhaust paint on the heat shield, thats what i did with my acl heat shield, did the job perfectly.

Pics ?

ill have to find some, i used the heat shield to cover the shiny stainless manifold i was using, that cracked and i have gone back to the factory manifold, im going to use the old heat shield and make a new one but have not gotten around to it yet.

Yeah pics would be good... Very interesting... Would be good to hear more about temps with beanies vs heat shields and also with or without HPC coated housings? :D

Even with the housing coated there is a lot of radiant heat, beanie was the best then the heat shield.

Only problem with the beanie was my last one was rubbish and fell apart in a couple of months, I'm looking at a better one now, you get whether you pay for.

Heat shielding on the top mount didn't look good as it was to shiny, and no matter how much time I put into it it still didn't make me happy aesthetics wise.

Finding a quality beanie that will withstand the heat without falling apart is the most efficient and aesthetically pleasing option in my opinion.

Yeah, i wanted to run the beanie on mine, i want a black one without bright red writing on it.... The ones from Rev Racegear look the goods but will stand out pretty badly in the engine bay >_<

There is a new style of Beanie type thing out made from the heat sheild material but shaped like a Beanie, Rotormaster sent me pics of it -

I ordered one of these from PTP Turbo blankets in the US for less than half the price of the locally supplied items -

Will see how it goes...

Apparently its not the blanket itself that fails, its the stitching that burns as its not rated to the high temps... If they are fitted correctly they are meant to be fine... We will see i guess!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
