Hey everyone, I've been searching around on the forum, but have only managed to find bits and pieces on the topic but anyway,
I have an R34 GT-T with a GTR MFD on it, and I was just wondering what temperatures I should be reading when driving normally, and when under boost for the following things:

Oil temp, water temp, exhaust temp, and, intercooler temp.

Basically what temperatures are safe, and what's not. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it specifically.

Thanks!

Yup. And my oil temp runs very close to water temp most of the time, although will climb above 100 in traffic, on really hot days and/or if I'm giving it some treatment.

My exhaust temp, pre-turbo, is about 500°C cruising, up to 900°C when absolutely caning it, with intermediate load levels coming in at the temperatures in between.

Okay cool, 90 degrees sounds like the norm for neo engines then.
From what I was reading earlier most people were below 90, so that had me worried a bit. So cheers for that!

Anyone know about the intercooler temperatures though?

Right, well. Keep in mind that the temperature rise on the turbo (if running efficiently) at 1 bar is about 100°C. This goes on top of ambient temp. So your intercooler inlet T is probably 75°C or so. That cooler is probably well big enough to drop most of the heat out of teh charge air even on a decent 3rd gear pull to redline, so you'd probably see 30°C or so at the outlet.

But it's as rough as guts talking about this stuff because it depends so much on the ambient temperature, how well ducted the cooler (external) air flow is, the mass of the cooler vs the power level being run, etc etc.

Okay yeah that would make sense, when I drive it around I see cooler temps of 40-58 on a warmish day, so I guess that's completely normal too.
I'll take it out for a bit tonight when the air is a bit colder and see what it's like then.

Cheers for that though!

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
