hi, Dude

can you give more detail about your kit? does it include cooler and piping for r33 gtst? thanks

The HKS picture looks to be a kit for a 200SX, but it is the same intercooler i installed on my R32 recently.

I too looked at the AVO unit, but check it is the core that as 600x300x90, as i think this may include end tanks. The HKS kit fitted my car with no real dramas, although the pipes are powder coated/painted mild steel and look to have been formed using hydraulic tube bender, (no mandrel bends).

The HKS core itself has tubes that are smaller than my spare GTR core. It would seem to flow well enough as with the cooler installed my boost has gone from10-11 psi to 13-14 psi. It has essentially made my boost controller obsolete, as i leave it turned off and run the std boost which now sits @13-14psi (stock turbo)

As for cooling i have a thermocouple that i want to mount before the manifold, but until then all i can say is that even after 8-9 laps @15psi flat around eastern creek, the inlet of the cooler is very hot to touch, the outlet is still ambient temperature, the crossover pipe behind the radiator is again very hot. So next is HPC coating or a similar solution to heateing of air downstream of IC. Rather agricultural means of testing but it may give you an idea

Is this too much information. In all i found the AVO bar & plate GTR cooler a better option than the GTST kit, but it means custom piping. If the AVO kit is alum piping than i would suggest this may be a better option than HKS

The kits comes with everything you need. Cooler / piping / brackets / silicon hose joiner. Its a 600x300x90 mm Bar and Plate cooler. It feeds through the standard piping in left hand front guard. Its awesome. Like i said i paid 1400 bucks from AVO TURBO WORLD in Melbourne.

Thanks for the information. I just rang them, however the price is up to A$1550 full kit (yes, full kit: include everything need to go in, pressure drop 1psi at 15 psi...., new piping incule the pipe ti replace stock pipe) ship to Sydney frieght around 70~90....1 week)

picture here

mmm...sound's good...[

If they give you any hassle about shipping i can grab it for ya and we can arrange a different way to ship.

Hi, Dude

will you be able to talk a good deal for us ...(thanks in advance!!), consider we some here consider get FMIC? thaks..

    • 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.
    • 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.
