how much boost do you want to run on the stock turbos anyway? I run about .9 bar and the stock IC works very well. Inlet temp is pretty well under control.

What sort of inlet temps? I am running 250kW at the rears, power fc and cams on stock turbo and get inlet temps of 40 - 50 degrees :confused:

admittedly this has been more in commuting, have to see how it goes on freeway

What is average?

depends. if I sit in traffic It can quickly get up to 50degrees. then once on the move it's down to around 38. I find once it's gotten up to 50, the ic can't drop it down below around 38. but this may be in part due to the plenum and all the post IC piping being nice and hot. On the track it didn't go above around 35 (from memory). on a 26 degree day, inlet temp (that's in the plenum) of around 10 degrees above ambient is pretty good. I'm sure the plenum and post IC piping is a lot higher than 10 degrees above amb.

one other 'test' I've done is after a thrash put your hand on the inlet tank (VERY hot) but the outlet tank is very cool to touch. it actually feels cooler than ambient.

I guess the only real way to test the IC'c effectiveness is to get three temp sensors. one ambient, one ic inlet, one ic outlet. coupled with the plenum sensor you could tell:

1. how much your turbos heat the air over ambient

2. how effectice the stock cooler is at cooling that air

3. how much heat is transferred into the intake charge between the IC outlet and the throttles.

Went for a strap last night... according to the aircon unit, the ambient temperature was 16.5 degrees. While cruising at 100km/h for ~10 mins the temp on power fc wouldnt drop below 33 degrees. After a quick squirt through 2nd and 3rd gears, the ambient temp wouldnt drop below 38 degrees, and quickly went up to 40 and sat around that the whole way home.

I take it that is 20 - 25 degrees above "ambient" its time for a new cooler? (was running 17psi and made 330rwkw in the same trim as I was driving it last night) :rofl:

Danny if your got std turbos you do not need an intercooler upgrade and as for running more boost through the std turbos JUST DONT it's not worth the risk. As if they let go they can damage the engine, i thought it hog wash till a friend in perth had it happen recently ($10,000 repair bill /motor and turbos) so i would take the money your put a side for intercooler upgrade and buy new turbos, it will be the best thing your ever done.

As i'm running 530rwhp on std cooler quiet happily and the best i think you might get out of std turbo would be in the high 300s

Ps oil in the intercooler means the turbos are passing and are not far away from going bye bye , sent four sets die now(mine included)

cheers

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
