Dude some of the translations on that site are a killer.

paul i see you liked my idea for the water for the turbos

have you run your car yet

cheers

paul i see you liked my idea for the water for the turbos

And what idea was that??

Just cos you never ran a good 60 on em. They're still the shit!

Nowhere near as good as Mickeys though

[DoughBoy]

And what idea was that??

Acutally running water to the turbos maybe?

hehe i think Nissan might have the one up on this idea for a 26 though.

hey jas whats the latest with your car, I've been waiting to see it back racing

love the sig. Bu5ter...very cool

Instal finished, drove it to the workshop yesterday to pull the clutch out (it was heavily punished) its and packed ready for its trip to Jim Berry for a reco. Should have it back in and down at Croydon's this coming Saturday.

here are my goods paul

very nice

Hey the manifold looks the part.

John, the inside flange of the turbine housing may need the coating removed (we did ours with a razor blade) so they assemble correctly. Its the inside surface where the core meets the turbine. Any probs or questions mate give me a pm.

[silver gts-t]

thanks

[TracidTrax]

Got all the bits back from Competition Coatings all ready to bolt up.

damn thats gonne be a nice setup

Yes Ben you had a little scrape i must admit....but "all" of it needed removing. Thanks for your input.

So yes..."WE"...."Ben and I" removed it.

Looking good! good luck with the 9! i'm glad to see people pushing their gtr's

hope it all goes well.

and what kinda of drop in inlet temps should you be expecting with all the coatings done?

might be worth a shot for my setup.

and do you happen to run a vented hood?

Thanks Mashrock for the support.

The real gain for the coating is on the turbine side holding the heat in, this aids in gas velocity and flow. The gains on the inlet (we have not done this side of the system before) are yet to be seen. But we use a very accurate Carel temp. meter to monitor plenunm temps, so the real world gains will be seen after full load tuning and full noise passes are completed. I must admit i only really got the inlet side done to tidy up the pipework and Rob was giving me a bit of a discount to cover the additional cost.

I dont run a vented hood as the temps during a run do not warrant it, Mark Jacobsen weighed his and its heavier than a stocker.

ahh i see,

yeah i guess your only really having the car on for no more than a minute for the time you really need to make the numbers,

i'm cutting a big hole in my hood very soon and throwing in a massive vent moulded off kris's mines gtr. but thats for circuit, a friend saw atleast 15-25 degrees less engine bay temp. so it seems like it would be worth it.

I can understand the need for an accurate inlet temp sensor. After my upgrade I was horified to see that my inlet temps (showing on the PFC) were consistantly around 25C higher than ambient (50C on a 25C day). What I did notice, however, is that the IC outlet was cold/ambient to touch and that the inlet temperature readings on the PFC hardly varied.

In reality I suspect that what I'm really measuring is the temperature of the plenum wall (nicely heated by the engine radiant heat) rather than the intercooled air passing throuh it.

Where do you place the aftermarket inlet temp probe?
