How's it going everyone? Finally decided to join as I have officially acquired my 1992 r32 GTS-T. I have browsed many a thread on here gathering as much information as I can stuff into my fragile little mind. Car came with an HKS mushroom filter, and a catback that i'm not sure of the name, can't find a brand on it. For now I'm going to enjoy the car while I rebuild my savings account lol.

Nice pick up. Throw the mushroom rubbish in the bin and look for either a nice paper filter (e.g. Apexi, et al.) or standard air box.

I still miss my old R32 GTS-t. Such a fun car to drive, good on petrol, excellent chassis in standard form that you can enjoy at low speeds.

Is there an intake you can recommend aside from the stock air box? I bought the car with the mushroom filter on it already and don't have the OEM bits.

Its been a while since I've done anything like this, but pod filters on their own, while sounding great, suffer badly from heat soak and ultimately will decrease your performance noticably. 

If you can't get a stock airbox, search on these forums for making your own CAI (Cold Air Intake) with an insulated foam box and pipe. Then you can just put a well functioning pod on (K&N). Theres lots of options here with some folks raving about pod filters under the headlights (in the vent) but they get wet easily. Its up to you how far to go.

Get some 22 gauge aluminium.

Get some cardboard, a beer carton works best, so buy beer.

Make a template out of cardboard.

Make another better one.

Leave it a week and make a better one, you will definitely need more cardboard from beer cartons, so buy more beer.

Do some googling on folding sheet steel, nutserts are boss for sheet steel, self tapping screws work, pop rivets are easy but painfull to remove.

Make the body and lid off your version ?? template.

Paint in black VHT wrinkle plus.

Use some edge push on "stuff".

You can insulate the insides of the box if you want, I never have, the important bit is to try and fit it as tight as possible to stop the majority of engine bay heat getting to the air filter.

Profit

Stolen picks of cover and "edge stuff" from the googles

Finally, you would have used all the cardboard for templates, so you will need to buy another carton of beer, for the cardboard of course.

Winner winner chicken dinner

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
