It "could" but it really depends on how high your compression is and how much of a threshold it will have for pre-igniting the mix with boost on board. You might find that at 5psi, with some cheapo ducting to try and cool the comp housing, high octane fuel and a few degrees of timing knocked out that it's safe enough but you'd need to monitor knock very closely as I doubt standard Elantra piston ring lands would sustain high levels of knock for extended periods, the real concern though is preignition as it will melt holes in shit before you realise there's an issue.

For the cost of a cheap cooler, you can likely keep the timing where it is and not sacrifice response, run 5psi safely enough, and not have the heartache. Bare in mind that 5psi or not, tuning of "some" sort will be required. You might get away with an SAFC or a Jaycar fuel controller but you will need some way of giving it more fuel than the factory ECU will think it should have at a given point. Without knowing how big the factory injectors are (my guess would be 240-270cc or so) it's hard to know what other hurdles you might follow.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done or that it's stupid, if you have the time and money and desire, do whatever the hell you want.

Totally wrong turbo. A td05 on a 2.0 or 1.8 will not spool well. On an rb20 it spools at about 3 but that a long wait for just .5bar, trust me I've had to put up with that for a while now.

Early 90's Subaru Liberty/Legacy RS Turbos used a water to air intercooler.

you can buy the whole kit for under $100 I'd say.

They seem to be good for about 160awkw on the subies using a TD05 (a mitsu one.. not Kando).

Looks like this in the engine bay

it then pumps the water/coolant to a thin condensor/radiator out the front.

Looking at the pic of your old car, you could easily fit the cooler part in that front passenger side of the engine bay.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
