Hi all,

I want to replace my intercooler to plenum pipe, its a bit too thin and I think is causing problems, but either way, it definately wont hurt going to larger pipe, ie 3 inch.

So far I have been to a couple of places and been quoted 450 and 515 dollars, which is a bit more than I would like to spend if possible.

Can anyone recommend a place that does custom pipework, and is reasonably priced (hippy, you must have sused this out by now:D). I feel the quotes I have had so far a bit expensive - may be that I am just suffering from tight arse disease though:p

Cheers

Steve

thanks enrico, I am seeing clint tomorrow, I shall check it out.

Bl4cK32 - shall do

PSI-VL, their work is first class, and I have checked them out. You do get what you pay for, but by the same token, most workshops these days charge around $60-$70 per hour - thats more than a doctor:) and really, its just a pipe:p

Spot on there, STEVE.

$60-$70 per hr is steep i know, wish i was on that per hr!!

What area you from STEVE?

I'll get the name off a mate, who knows a guy out my way that does all fabrication work.Does excellent work and charges $30 per hour.He owns a yellow/gold TE or TG Gemini with a 350 in it, you might of seen it cruisin anzac a few times?

If interested, let me know.

Nightcrawler, thanks, they are similar priced - and I am in tightarse mode since it is redoing something that has already been done. Evan (PSI Fabrication) said a while back he could redo the pipework for me for around $150-200 (as I have spend $$$$ with him) - but he has fallen off the face of the planet!

PSI-VL, I live near tilbrooks(hampstead gardens), about 10 minute walk Yes please to your mates, mates name:) that would be great. 350 in a TE/TG? holy fark! Does that live queenstown way? Think I saw a TG down that way with a candy yellow paint job, looked very nice (for a gemi:p)

Yep, he's in Queenstown.Yep,a 350 in a gemi goes very well, mid to high 10's from memory!!

Chasing the number for you, will post asap.Will post it up here by lunch time

(fri -16th).Had trouble getting thru to his mobile today.

You'll be impressed with the work he does.At half the price of anywhere else.

Talk soon,

PSI-VL

still looking for psi fabrications, i work in edwardstown, his

still around here been looking for him ask turbo tune they know exactly where

his moved to last i heard he was behind the firestation over daws rd

but i couldn't find when i was flexing in the back streets

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
