Good son of rajab... Kwaka... I am just going to sit here and applaud. Why I never thought of cooling ambient air with ambient air is just a kick in the nuts. And I spent all that money on turbocharg

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....

no throttle body is completely closed, or it would bind/seize with heat...

newer cars with electronic throttle bodies usually don't have iac's

haters be hating.

I'm taking some of these ideas and stepping it up.

have a efi motor to go in my stang as I doubt this would work proper on a carby.

however

going bigger capacity cooler

stiffer spring on TB

using a air -> water intercooler with ice in the reserve tank.

should be kick arse.

I've received quite a few PM's asking if I could piece together N/A intercooler kits for people.

The answer is no...

1. I don't know what car you have, every car is different (front bar etc) you'll need to mount your stuff so it works, selling a generic kit is bound to generate complaints as I can't be sure it will all fit properly.

2. If you can't plumb an intercooler and a throttle body together, you shouldn't be working on cars. Just enjoy the 100rwkw that your car puts out without my mods.

Sorry to be harsh, but it's that simple.

Only Juan?

I just told the whole of the N/A section how to gain ~40rwkw for $200 and still have change for beer.

Juan from me...I only have 1 a day to give out. I think everyone who has an N/A and wants to make 40+ KW should also give you some free internets as well.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
