ok i did a bit of a search for a friend of mine who has just bought an NA r32 but found nothing, he asked me if it would be a good idea or even possible to buy an intercooler, block one of the end tanks off and have the other side replacing the pod filter, now iv never really thought of this and thought it was quit funny of him to ask, so ye just tryna get some info on this lol

What did he think it was going to do?

How the hell would this work? if you block one end off. then the other attached to the intake you would be trying to suck the inside of the cooler. = no air flow?

or am i looking at this wrong. :(

Thats what i was thinking... maybe they dont know how intercoolers work... maybe they think that they suck air in from the front... right right.

You can actually buy air filters that are made to look like FMIC, saw one on a lancer. Don't know what you'd do if it rains though.

talking to him today, i think thats were he got the idea from, he saw a na civic with what looked like an intercooler, when he saw that he came to the conclusion that, thats what the guy was doing, however just searching ebay i found what appeared to be a small intercooler which is actually not an intercooler :(

Ahh but what if you had a pod filter on one end of an intercooler and then run the other end to the engine's inlet and just before you're ready to drag race, you release the spray of liquid nitrogen onto the intercooler chilling it to reduce the intake temps ??? Huh, huh ?? Reverse intercooling !! :nuke::(

AKA Interfooler

Yeah get him to do it.. Then take pics so we can laugh. Explain to him that he will need to install a NOS spray system as intercoolers can only cool air ambient temp. Better yet add an electronic supercharger between the pod and inlet of the cooler, then an electric BOV... Now that would be hectic, and he could say his car runs NOS!

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
    • I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.
