i gotta back kawa up. seen this on a nonturbo wrx before.

was tits.

The throttle bodys are normally partially open so at low RPM it is feasable!

These guys. They know.

Well actually I am a mechanic by trade and I've prob rebuilt more engines then you have seen.

Your whole concept is flawed, that fact you think running lower comp on an n/a motor is better just shows you lack of knowledge on how to get power out of an engine. You dont see TRD or Spoon selling decomp pistons for n/a's. The higher the comp the bigger the bang = more power, low comp equals fail town for an n/a, the reason guys decomp to go turbo is for greater protection from detonation so they can run more boost.

So stupid were you earlier comments I thought you were just f##king with the op, Maybe I should go and bash out my air flow meter and gain some killer wasps on my n/a.

This just doesn't make any sense. I mean. You don't want big bangs in your engine. That shit would get hot. And melt shit. Fark that. Small bangs mean less heat, and everyone knows less heat = moar fast. Are you sure you're a mechanic? I played with lego once...

Anyone who disagrees with this simple logic isn't a mechanics sphincter.

I'm not going to justify this mod anymore after this post.

The pics are there, the write up is there and the dyno sheet is there.

The engine won't grenade if you gut the AFM as it will richen the mixture enough for the small amount of boost generated.

End of story, anyone who knows a car from a bar of soap will agree and it's obvious who the dickheads in this thread are.

What if the bar of soap is shaped like a car? Cos it gets hard for me then...

SIMPLE LOGIC!

THATS IT IM OUT OF SIZES NOW. SO YEA. I GUESS WHAT KAWA SAID. IM GOING NOW. BECAUSE IF I KEEP TYPING THERE WILL BE NO MORE ROOM FOR YOU LOT TO ARGUE WITH THE MASTER!

Op - if you want to try this mate I have a spare de throttle body that I was planing to use to make this set up on my old rb25de motor until I spun the big end and bought the LS, if your in se qld mate you can have it as its no use to me anymore :)

no...it doesnt make sense...the simply logic is that the car simply wont run above idle with the 2 throttle bodies closed...therefor I cannot get enough air velocity in the intercooler to open the first throttle body..so my question is

how am i supposed to overcome this...??

i can not ask this question any more simply and if you cant answer it, then you neither are a mechanics sphincter...

Are you serious?

Throttle bodies are never completely closed, the one on the engine opens up with the throttle cable, it sucks air passed the slightly open throttle body on the cooler and acts like a normal car.

The pipe work between the two coolers takes a short amount of time to fill up with air, but it's not noticeable in a real world situation. It's probably the equivalent to the lag experienced by fly by wire throttle set ups.

Once the car is moving and the cooler fills up and the first throttle body is forced open, it acts very similarly to a turbocharged car coming onto boost.

where are you getting this garbage from....throttle bodies are completely closed you goose...until you push the accelerator air is bypassed through your idle control valve and that is what makes it run...when you push the accelerator the throttle body opens and air rushes into the engine cause the revs to rise so the car can move....its simple logic...but in your setup when i push the accelerator according to your "logic" there will only be a small amount of air in the pipe that wont last very long at all and thats assuming you have a leaky throttle body..so i very much doubt its going to last long enough to get the car up to a decent enough speed to create 6psi of boost in the intercooler.. I guesstimate this would take at least 20 mtres of driving...where is your air supply coming form for that 20 mtres?? and its going to take even longer to build up pressure if you have a leaky throttle body....

Obviously you have to set the first throttle body so it's not completely closed but not open enough that it lets the air passed prematurely.

If you're really worried you can warm the car up, disconnect the IACV and increase your idle speed so you can move without touching the accelerator. It's not necessary, though.

on a side note has anybody seen the BMW4219ELi...

its utterly amazing..It's made to fulfill a small boys dream. The BMW 4219ELi, It’s powered by 19 Porsche boxer engines, each producing 459 horsepower for a grand total of 8721 it has 42 wheels and a Motorsport spoiler.

Due for Le Mans 24hr in 2014

I wonder how many throttle bodies it has??

I still can't see how the system gets ANY positive pressure.

The air is trapped inside the cooler and it can't escape until the throttle body is forced completely open, then the air rushes into the engine.

The dyno sheet doesn't lie dude.

Only needs two.

but how does it get into the intercooler in the first place when there is nothing there to suck it in???

It's forced in there through the pod filter.

Air takes the path of least resistance, but if there is a duct going to the pod, it has nowhere to go other than through the filter and into the cooler.

well i dont see any duct on your car and the car has to move first until then it cant be forced in...and unless your have your IACV set at 2000rpm, until you open the throttle body the car cant move...do you see where i'm going man....

anyway i have to duck out for a bit just think about ok...

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
