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?

Between the plenumn and the pipe that feeds from the inner guard. I set it up so the tip is in the centre of the pipe and does not come into contact with the pipe wall or plenumn wall. Ive always had the thought that the std probe is affected by heat soak.

OK people.....its time to guess what power its going to make....

only changes are HKS 2530's > HKS GT-RS and a HKS ignition amplifier.

it made 443 AWKW previous on this same dyno.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say.... it will be MORE than 443AWKW! :thumbsup:

..actually I'll be very interested to hear how much difference there is in lag Paul. I know this won't be too much of an issue for you since you're primarily drag racing.

I am having a RB26/30 built and have been told the 2530's might be a bit small, and to go for the GT-RS. In fact, they say that the 2530's would "limit me" to about 600hp. But with 443awkw, it sounds like you are proving the 2530's can go more. A lot more.. wouldn't that be around 700 flywheel hp or more?

Hmm my guess is 485 awkw :unsure:

so how's it going??? :rofl: hopefully ~500kw+

the JD's going down nicely thanks :P

unfortunately no news yet.......(no news is always good news with CRD). It's hard to be so far away. I wish I was there. I hope nothing goes wrong. I feel like I'm waiting for a baby to be born. :D

STACE

I think ONE of the users logged on right now might win the guessing comp!

Was that me? If so :D

After the 443 4wkw with 2530s' I am not so sure I can guess it.

The race brew makes the numbers somewhat unpredictable.

The raw maths say 550 4wkw.

So I will throw that in as my best guess.

Good luck guys, we have a Friday drinks rule

One JD for every 100 horsepower

So you better get started.

:P cheers :rofl:

PS; the boys get all excited when we stick a blown 7 litre on the dyno, it means plenty of beers for them
