I don't expect people to agree with my reasoning but no i don't like those return pipe things . Can't see the sense of having a return pipe when a tank can have dual roles .

The reason I dont like bar and plate IC cores is because I don't think the air flowing through to the radiator get an easy time , round edge tubes are a better compromise I think .

I doubt a Trust turn flow is going to magically fall in my lap but there are a few alternatives to look into .

I was looking at Datalogit software with SK yesterday afternoon and he thinks the easiest way to increase the fuel injected across the board is to change the injector settings on the LHS of I think the injectors setting page from 48 to I think 62.4 . I think the logic is that 740s are twice the size of the std 370s and the compensation in my case was 48% . 48 times 1.3 = 62.4% . This is probably a crude dirty way to go about starting the Eflex experiment but I can't think of an easier one to start with . I just need to buy a length of low pressure fuel hose so i can connect it to the low pressure side of the reg and pump the 98 out into fuel containers . I've two 10s and a 5L container of Eflex to play with so if I can tip 5 or so in and get it to start and run I can pour in a bit more and see how it drives . If its not workable I can pump it out again and revert to 98 and the current "livable" settings .

I also asked him about AFR vs lamda and he reckons Tech Edges can be switched between the two . I guess its getting my head around E85 being something like 8.8:1 instead of petrols 14.7:1 . I can see where lamda cuts the confusion because the ideal ratio is always 1 not matter what the fuel is .

Working today so probably no time to get into this till Wednesday or Thursday .

If you leave the wideband in petrol afr's you don't have to change anything. It will still be 14.7:1 as the wideband reads lambda anyway and converts it.

Just changing injector size will get you running but mine requires 50% more fuel at cruise/light load and approx. 25% at wot. It isn't a set figure.

Nothing wrong with the turnflow concept. The air has to go back to the passenger side of the car somehow, it might as well be behind the bumper reo. I had one built from a truck core for my car last century. Still using it. Little pressure drop, good efficiency. May not support stupidly high power levels, but then I haven't had to cut any (illegal) holes in the car for it either.

The turn flow is hardly going to be an issue on a sub 270rwkw car.

The air has to turn at some point and you are reluctant to cut a hole in the other side of the engine bay so whichever way you cut it a Blitz cooler will meet all your needs.

I still think if it's not getting tracked hard the SMIC could do alright, stick a small fan behind it maybe and/or add a small water sprayer to it and you could get away with it quite easily especially if running E85

I am not sure why you just don't buy an off the shelf kit. Using a XR6 core, then fking about with piping, etc.. will end up costing more than just buying a JJR return flow kit, if you're a brand wh0re just get the Blitz return kit for like $800.

I even taken the liberty of providing direct links to each product:

Blitz: I lied, they're $699 even better

Cooling pro: Good enough for the power levels you're aiming for

cooling isnt the issue, its airflow that concerns me, JZA80 side mount intercoolers are way bigger than R34 side mounts and the Supra ones barely flow enough for 240rwkws I just cant see the little factory core allowing enough airflow, they were designed for ~200kw at the crank not more than 300kw at the crank

no differnt to trying to make 300rwkws with a standard exhaust...you just wouldnt do it

I ended up starting with the internal cooler or Eflex .

I pumped the remaining 98 out into a fuel container via the rails return tube and a couple of meters of fuel hose . I poured a bit of Eflex in to stir up the remains and ran it until I heard the pump start to "sing" . Then it was in with 5L and jack the injector trims up 30% . With a couple of primes it fired up fine and idles better than I think it ever has with the PFC on ULP . I've been round the block a few times and it appears to drive fine so I'll fill it up later on .

The cold start tomorrow will be interesting but warm it fires first time every time .

I know the intercooler won't cope but that will be replaced in time .

Cheers A .

Just drop 80-100% into the cold start enrichment under 20 degrees and you should be fine. I have found double the fuel is required on average for cold start from my experience.

without proper specs you'll be firing it all day and pulling plugs out to dry them.. my settings turnt out to be a different from what was recommended with the formula's , took alot of hair pulling out sessions to hear it run properly... slightly less than double the fuel in my case

At least they don't foul, just dry them off or let it sit for an hour. :)

When I went to gas it up the temp gauge was showing zip but it started again first time . I added a bit more timing here and there and it just continues to get better . The only unusual thing it did was not return to idle as fast as it should and when starting revs briefly to 2000 sometimes . It been years but maybe I have to do that idle learning thing again .

The local Caltex Eflex servo is selling at $1.129/L and 90L cost ~ $79.60 , beats paying when the price was low $1.469/L for Ultimate 98PULP .

Will dust off the Tech Edge and see what it shows tommorow , A .

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
