Looking for a bit of advice, as the topic says, our track car is an s13 with an s15 front running a built rb26dett with new garrett -7 turbos. It will be going in for a tune to get the best out of the new turbos and E85 in a week or so. Question is... I haven't got any heat shields on the manifolds, turbos or dump pipes. Is this going to be an issue? There are no wires or rubber hoses as all non essentials have been taken off.

Not an "issue" per say, but there's plenty of benefit to keep the shields in place when considering under bonnet temps.

You could leave them off and go an R34 GT-R style bonnet duct.

So long as everything is clear of the area you'll be fine. I don't run heat shields on my turbo/manifold (only a CA S13 though) and I have no issues with water/oil temps.

See how you go during tuning, if there's an issue go from there.

The heat shields certainly help with keeping heat in places and out of others... In a tight S Chassis bay, it's even more important you would think.

Be interesting to see another result of -7s on E85, it seems so far that those turbos just don't give the gains that larger ones (mid range and top end) do when going to E85. Be sure to post up in Forced Induction for people to have a look-see :)

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
