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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
