Tried to ring some place for a quote of FMIC installation.

However I discover some place (somewhere in North west) even charge up to $500 for a Trust FMIC installation, :eek: , don't know how they justify the cost? Or it's because roll on thing?

I just wondering how much people paid for their cooler installation, specially for the "kit" like trust or HKS..and all pipinf come with package..and how they feel the workmanship?

I have think about doing myself, but just don't have tools need...:D

Doc,

How do u go bout doin the measurements (any special tool, etc) and is the piping for a R32 same as a R33, otherwise I could maybe just take ur measurements if u dont mind?

sidewaymambo: Get a few mates together with a case of cold beer and do it yourself.

Cereal Jacques and I fitted the cooler on my car, good fun considering i would normally take on such a project. Its really quite straight forward. the only annoying part is the trimming of the bar etc required, this depends on the bar you have and size of the cooler.

As least mount the cooler. If worst somes to worst do what you can and get someone to finish it off.

My cooler was a micks metalcraft package which including all alloy piping. Having the kit include all the seals and clamps makes life alot easier.

Nick

try and find a mate with a welder and do it all yourself its soooo easy, all u need is the bends and straight pipe, if u use steel just goto the local exaust place and buy a "snake" a snake is about 8ft long (depending on what size pipe u want ie 2" 2 1/2" 3",)

and has about 8-9 mandrell bends on it,and u can cut the bends off as u need them,then buy maybe 2 mtrs of the same diameter straight pipe then measure and cut the pipe to whatever u want,also u can stickytape the pipeing together so u can work it all out be4 hand ready for welding, this way if u dont have a welder u can take it to a local welding place and it will cost u a slab of bear to weld it up :D

anymore help needed?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • 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.
