Hey

My intercooler piping goes right over the block with no rocker cover and this has the awesome affect of super heating the air just before it goes into the engine. Does anyone have pics of a better route to run the piping its a fmic i bought some heat shield stuff from clarke rubber would it be alright to wrap the whole pipe in it??

If i did put a rockercover on would that stop the heat?

Should i get a cam cover?

blockquote><p>The air goes through that pipe so fast and only touches a very, very small portion of it, so there is NO measurable air temperature increase. You do get a bit of heat soak when sitting idling in traffic, but a few seconds of moving the air and it

Do the numbers;

2500 cc's X 1 bar X 5000 rpm = ~200 litres per second

That pipe holds a bit under 2 litres, so that's 100th of second for the air to pass through the pipe. Not a lot of contact time for the temperature from the pipe to be passed into the air.

The pipe you should look at is the thinner one (may be steel from the photos) from the intercooler, that goes behind the radiator. It is much longer and therefore the air spends a longer time in it to pick up some temperature.

This is the bestter way to do the pipework

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
