HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY hope your day was not to bad and got the chance to have a few brewski's :rant:

Cheers,

Leigh

I dude at work got a Toyota GT4 and it got a water to air intercooler do any other cars have this seems a bit stupid

Older Liberty's have em, many AM companies sell em. Popular in rota drag circles, and with horsepower dyno queens.

Why you say stupid? They have their place for sure. Can keep intake tracks a lot shorter; improve throttle response etc, then mount the radiators for it where ever you want.

The setup has a buffer too, so you don't get the same level of heat soak, that air->air IC has in stand still traffic.

Happy BirthDay Shell :rant:

Also, memo to leigh, quotes are supposed to go before posts.

i always do it that way in PM's, but not on the forum... dunno why :rant:

thanks leigh & michael :)

I had a fantastic day, much better than last years birthday which sucked.

and yes leigh I've managed a couple of bevvies :)

I was just think that a contain of water sitting on top of the engine is i dont know like a rice cooker , what about when it is full cold do air to air work better

Hey Rick444 I'm with you re gettin out of that workshop .... but I am interested, does the intercooler on a stock 33 make a big difference? I'm not racing, drifting, draging etc - but am interested, is it a worthwhile thing to do?

It doesn't really make a huge difference, but my car feels better after putting it on, more responsive..it's hard to explain...

I would say it's definitely worth it, especially if you're planning to do more mods. :thumbsup:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHELL!!

BTW, it would be nice if crime took a day off. Imagine if you could leave your car unlocked and go shopping and come back to an untainted car: nothing stolen and no scratches/damage.

Ha Ha as if that could ever happen.

Put the crack pipe down :P

Magine a box welded around a normal air->air IC, and then water pumped through that box, through and around the fins, and then to a radiator(s) [ Separate to the engine radiator clearly]

Your just replacing the air that was moving through the air->air cooler fins, absorbing heat, with water... which then releases its heat to the air, when it gets to the little radiators

haha there was no intension of that leigh, which is lucky cause shes pretty much a grandma :domokun:

pretty weird, only 3 movies ive been keen to see recently (300, spiderman 3 and 28 weeks later) are all ones youve posted about skylvia. Do they tell you anything about the main characters from the first one in the new one (james and selena?)

Edited by Baconer

havent seen spiderman 3... i heard its a tad dissapointing...

Nah nothing about the original 2, but it starts at the 28 days later timeline, then shows how it progressed through to 28 weeks later. much better than the 1st IMO. the 1st one was still good tho

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • 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.
