Here's a simple test.

First, obtain a tennis ball in the opposite hand that you throw with.

Subsequently, go outside your house, find a nice spacious brick wall, and through it at the wall.

Then, inspect the wall to see if there is any damage...

Same principle applies to air hitting the turbo fins.... :):ph34r:

Yeah we gather the fact that pressurised air won't damage metal compressor fins.

I am much more worried about the shock loading on the bearing cartridge as the wall of pressurised air hits the rapidly spinning compressor :D:bunny::bunny:

i.e. your simple tests mean shit (thats why I raised you 1 bunny)

I would just like to throw out there that there are a lot of "problems" in the automotive world that MUST be fixed that like to pop up right after somebody starts making a product to "fix" said problem. It seems like people make a product and invent the "problem" to sell their wears.

Like how the sales of bottled water took off after the statistic was released stating that we need to drink at least 2l a day?

To see how compressed air will affect the bearing cartridge, perform the following:

Place a Ping-Pong Ball and hold it with your big toe in the foot you use the least.

Try and throw it at a brick wall.

Sample principle applies to compressed air having a load on the bearing cartridge.

Your bunnies don't mean shit, that's why I raised you a bananna (which is worth 3.34 times that of the bunny) :banana:

Age old debate that people seem to miss the main physics of...

Blades don't stop spinning... The blades are setup uni directional, that is, spin them one way, they move air, spin them the other, they do 2/5ths of f**k all.

Secondly, the "chopping" noise is the fact that the pressure applied by turbo is less then that in the pipe, so high pressure flows out the cooler pipes towards air filter.

Suddenly, pressure applied by turbo is greater, so some air gets sucked back in. Making a low pressure... This process continues... Making sound waves...

No damage to turbo.

Also, for those stating it causes more lag between gear shifts, it only causes more lag if you keep the pressure source for the wastegate on the IC piping. Run it to the manifold, no issues what so ever.

interesting. please explain.

150,000km's on the stock turbo running 1 bar with no bov sold with no shaft play then went on to a larger turbo for a good 70,000km's no bov @ 1bar, sold with no issues and now a bigger turbo again for 20,000km's no bov with no issues running upwards of 24psi.

I found it reduced lag on gear changes especially noticeable when putting in around traffic slightly on boost with all - straight off the actuator (pressure source comp housing), with an MBC and now with an EBC.

And... Nothing wrong with the ol' VLT's.

I personally hate the sound of aftermarket atmo bov's. For myself its either a a tight aftermarket recirc bov that doesn't vent until 20psi odd or no bov at all.

VLT's have been getting around with no bovs running close to 2bar since some of you were in nappies.

IMO emissions and drive ability at part throttle is all bovs are for. :laugh:

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
