hi i was wandering if u guys could reccomend a place to fit a front mount im thinking of purchasing one from justjap the 499 ones but i wanna know where abouts i can get it fitted and how much and if anyone has any rough ideas on how much it will cost to fit on a s1 r33 gtst and to cut the front bar to suit

thanks

ive actually got an arc 450x280x~65 fmic, its got the entry, and exit pipes both facing where the stock R33 intercooler piping comes from, so you only need to extend the pipes a bit, and no need to cut through the firewall.

im looking for $150 for it, if you are interested,or want pics, let me know.

most workshop can do it,

but saying that if i was to buy a cooler again i would go jap (trust/hks or apexi) as i find custom piping to be a joke compare to jap piping kit

my mate has a trust kit the piping looks better and fits 100% with no problems hitting the bonnet or hitting the fan

hm im sorry but what do u mean by low mount manifold and high mount i would like mine i nthe normal place lol where most ppl have it and 250 bux sounds a bit cheap ?

So you have a low mount (I meant the turbo placement). The $250 is for fitting a complete kit. If you need piping and stuff done that would be extra. If you have the full kit including the piping then it should be around $250

Cheers

JB :P

You can do it yourself if you got some time up your sleeve. As long as you get your self a good 3" metal hole saw, those kits are pretty easy to install, you just need patience and small hands to get into the finnicky bits. Took me about a day to do, but i was using wrong tools and didnt know what I was doing

And yes.. std turbo = low mount

ahh turbo placement now i got ya yea im still running the stock turbo so i guess thats low mount i was told it would be around 1200 for a full intercooler kit fitted

Yeah thats about right...for fmic, piping and fitting. You can get genuine Hybrid full kits for about $850. So if you install yourself like damono suggests you will save yourself a few hundred bucks :)

Unique Auto Sports have a full kit for $700...dont know how good that one is, or Mod Your Car have genuine hybrid kits for $800 plus whatever the shipping cost is...then you could try and do it yourself. I would have tried doing some of the work on mine myself, but at the moment I am about 20,000 miles away :) makes it a bit hard

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
