Trozzle

yeah blowby on that last note of yours

I'm sorry but, you're a complete retard or a terrible troll.

Nah man, Phil's done a runner this time. I can smell it in the air.

Even though my car isn't a GT-R of any kind, so space is less of an issue - my pod used to be noticeably hot after driving...I bought a fibreglass enclosure off a fellow forum member, which he'd had lined with that foil skinned foam stuff on the inside...just a backyard kinda job on the foam stuff. I drove the car around for a while on a warm day, no constant driving - plenty of traffic lights, then removed the lid of the box and felt the bod immediately after I got home - barely warm to touch, Just get a fibreglass enclosure for pods, line it with whatever the shit is lining the inside of mine, then run some piping from behind the bar or something to feed fresh air in there.

I honestly reckon it looks f**king awesome.

You either sacrifice filtering efficiency, hence eating away at the whole purpose of an air filter, or you increase the surface area as you said Steve. It's very basic physics, if the filter is being sucked in, then it's posing a restriction by filtering "too well". It's like the cell count in a damned cat converter!

I'm honestly not sure you entirely understand how it works... The valve only gives exhaust flow to one side until a desired manifold pressure, as set by the actuator that opens/closes the valve. Only while boost is LOW, the valve will force all exhaust down one side...then as boost rises (we'll say to 50% of "full boost") the valve opens, and allows exhaust gas to pass down BOTH sides of the twin scroll housing. By forcing the exhaust down one side of the housing at low flow rates/boost, it's hitting the part of the turbine that will spin it up faster. That's the point of twin scroll, only this valve will force twice the flow down that one side (minus all the flow down the less "efficient" side for spool)

I kinda like the riveted look tbh

I don't see how a quick spool valve changes the A/R of the turbine housing. Its just a smaller entry into the same volume. because with the quickspool valve, ALL the exhaust gasses will be pushed into ONE SIDE of the divided housing. The effective A/R of this single side in the housing is much smaller. Then when the valve opens, the gasses pass down both sides of the divided housing, effectively varying the A/R of the housing.

Holy shit, that is SO much louder than mine. What did you record this on? I wanna record mine with my iphone and see if you can even hear it on the clip... That sounds like something in the freaking fan or something :S

As far as I know, that's normal with most cars...or at least cars around that era. I know my parently VP Berlina does the same thing, not sure about my R33 though coz my high beams are f**kING PATHETIC while my low beams are blinding lol

Internal gate and integrated BOV

and again this morning. Can I please have your car? Seriously, I'll trade both my first and second born, plus cash, plus my treasured right nut. I need that car edit: and a year's supply of "AFRICA"

That will be an amazing street application turbo.....if you can hold traction Might be a little too responsive lol

At least it can't legally be pronounced dead until Prue revives it

It is now at least...

That, I must say, is bloody weird. No idea here sorry, doesn't make sense that it wouldn't do it every time...although I'd remove and refit the fuel filter as well as consider getting someone else to turn the key each time you go to start the car while you stick your head underneath or into the engine bay while it primes.

I can't listen to sound clip at work, but I've had a similar noise from my car for AGES. Came about 18 months ago and was intermittent, disappeared about 6 months ago for a month or 2, and now is back... idk

ah ok stupid girl! her loss

WHAT IS THIS I DONT EVEN

Well 30% more than what you're currently running...not sure how duty cycle works, but 30% of 70 = 21...so I'd be guessing E85 should see you roughly around the 90 - 95% duty cycle

I'll give ya a used rubber for it.

Interesting, wasn't my cousin was it? lol I posted this to her on facebook the other day telling her she should fking buy it.

I don't know what dyno it was on, but I remember recently someone pushing around the 400rwkw mark from a 3076 of some kind, but on a ridiculous boost level around 30psi - WELL out of efficiency

19psi though mate... 5557 .63 made that same power (roughly) on >30psi of boost. Albeit on a 2L SR engine, it's still something. Why do SO MANY people make around the 300rwkw mark on 1psi less? Surely there isn't 90kw difference in reading between the dynos.... Just know that it's all about how much you enjoy the car, and how well it performs - a dyno is simply a number, and doesn't mean ANYTHING in some cases. This is one of those cases...
