The first throttle body is open slightly so when you open the throttle body on the plenum; it sucks air into the engine just like usual, it just takes a split second to rev up because the piping between the two throttle bodies has to fill up with air.

There is a duct in the front bar right in front of the pod.

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.

If the first TB has to be forced open, and the second TB is connected to the accelerator, when you press the accelerator you're going to get negative pressure between the to TBs.

I understand that with a big enough scoop and enough speed you'll get the pressure before the first TB. But until then I still don't see the point.

There is negative pressure between the two throttle bodies initially, which is the slight lag that I mentioned earlier on.

This is overcome in literally half a second. Remember, the first throttle body is slightly open and that negative pressure is turned into positive pressure when the piping between the two throttle bodies is full of air.

Once that happens (the lag isn't notice me in the real world) it's like driving normally. When the cooler fills up to the point that the air forces the first TB open fully, it's a boosting effect and the car rockets off phenomenally.

There is really no better way to have an N/A car set up.

ok but wont the negative pressure just suck the first throttle body open?

im looking at this canned air system and wondering if it could be used to solve this problem actually...basically you store it in a bottle like NOS...and release a short blast into the pipeline between the throttle bodies to help get the car moving off the line with no lag....

maybe this stuff could work

In fact we may even be able to use NOS as well for take off and then when the extra boost comes from the intercooler it will already be accelerating hard and it should even be able to keep up with those pesky ss commodores easily

A mate has one of those Can Less Air things... ...I bet him $500.oo to fire it up his ass... ...Filled him with so much air it made him burp!!!...

Mate let's not bullshit aye, I can't stand people who come online and talk utter crap.

If you're joking, then fair enough, but you and I both know the implications that firing compressed air in ones asshole would have, and if he did it, he'd have more to worry about than the $500.

I made the bet... ...he never went through with it...

I guess I'm still having trouble understanding why you're adding more restriction on the intake.

I had a HQ Panel Van with a 308 putting out almost 400hp and it was always my understanding that the more air the N/A could suck in the better. Get out on the highway doing more than 80kmh and the bonnet scoop would put the positive pressure on the intake.

The pics of the orange car don't show how positive pressure could be applied to the intake. The pod is just hanging there. If air takes the path of least resistance, then it's just going to flow around the pod and straight under the car. There is no scoop to direct the air into the pod.

Well does the dyno sheet tell a story or does it mean nothing? There is a duct going to the pod and the pod does take air in through it. The whole idea of a restriction is to build pressure, as I've stated all along.

You don't have to try this, it's of no consequence to me if you do this mod or not.

You can try it and make your own INFORMED opinion, or you can just be an armchair expert and argue with me. I've provided dyno sheets, pics and information, you and others have just said it doesn't make sense.

The figures don't lie. I know a dyno is just a tuning tool and shouldn't be relied upon, but there's roughly a 25% power increase showing in that dyno sheet. Explain it to me if my mods don't work?

My interest in this thread was initially as a bit of a lark. "Intercooler on and N/A, haha". But you have really got me interested now. And that's why I'm asking the questions I'm asking. You've presented a setup that is a little unusual and yes, my first response is that it doesn't make sense. But I hope by asking the questions I'm asking, I'll get a better understanding of how you came up with this setup and why you went with it. After all. Isn't that why we're all here. To learn and educate each other on the cars we love?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
