Hi all, i have bought an ARC 135mm racing intercooler. Currently I run an ARC 105mm intercooler. I remember i when i installed the 105, there was a quite little bit to chop off both the bar and the reo. I'm a little concerned now, is 135mm possible? Will she be able to take it? Can you please share your experiences with thickness? How did you deal with it? How much blood sweat and tears were involved? and what did she look like afterwards? Pictures of yours would be great!

Hi i dont have pics but i can say that i installed a 149mm trust tube and fin cooler on the R32 GTR had to shave the inside of the bar to suit which really wasnt that hard, the reo has to be shaved also along the outer edges where the cooler tanks are but again with a small grinder and a little patience you can achieve it easily. Took me 4.5 hrs to cut bar and reo do some dummy fitting etc.

Hope this helps good luck.

On a side note Atomic Bomber Man, is your current 105mm thick core twin entry? and also would you be looking at selling the core :D

It should be sweet though, air saws are wonderful things ;)

I ran an Apexi GT Drag Intercooler on my R33 which had a core thickness of 136mm and had no problems.

There was some trimming needed but the factory bar went back on and I was also able to refit the factory mesh.

mr gtr, is it possible to get pics? does it stick out ver far? i am more concerned about the look of it. i have a feeling it might look a bit funny. ie the cooler protrudes through the hole it should be sitting behind! :D

weapon, the i/c is not twin entry, and i have already sold it to a friend. fantastic looking bit of gear they are. well designed too!

does anyone have pictures of thick ones?

atomicbomberman i will try and dig up pics of the cooler installation, i shaved the reo bar and its still all there in perfect condition, the cooler looks fine does not come forward thats the whole reason of shaving the reo bar at the required angles to accomodate the thicker cooler tanks. In regards to the air con fan i did have this probelm but was able to keep mine with some gentle persuasion i was able to slightly push forward the metal grille shrouding so that the fan would not rub on it as i was not going to sacrifice not having a/c. The fan will be only 5mm away from the cooler but will pass i have never posted up pics on the forum as im not very computer literate but if you pm me your mobile phone number i can sms some pics with my phone to you so you can get the idea.

cheers,

Dave.

      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

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
