I'm no expert on the physics of flow and pressure, but I would think that regardless of length (to an extent), once a tube has been filled with air or fluid, then changes in pressure should be near instantaneous at either end?

Alvin?

Think of it this way..do you want air pockets in your brake lines?

some fluids are very im-compressible so yes the pressure change would be near instant.

something more compressible ie air, it's going to take more to impact it, your going to have to change the pressure of a much greater volume so I would expect lag to increase.

plus same goes with zorst gases getting to turbo they have to travel more distance.

But in having more distance to travel there is also restriction too, so whatever detriment it gives to spooling the turbo, it could help with the engine building up RPM too?

It is external gate...

As the turbo is 4-5M back from the engine it shouldn't get too hot, there will be a heat shield over it all, and hopefully carpet back over the lot. I have to test it with an infra-red thermometer on the dyno first.

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy.

That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area.

Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

i'd say there should be a little lag with regards to spool but, nothing serious. 4-5m isn't that long. As air is a compressible fluid, at even at scotty's 45psi, that just resolves to 3bar, which does nothing for compressibility, so there will still be an effect, though, pipe length is a lot less of a factor than a restriction.

But theoretical vs physical, i still think scotty should give it a try.

Don't worry, I will be. :P

The turbo won't be laggy, the engine should have the .82 rear GT35 pushing 20psi by around 2.5k, but it may not be as responsive as it would be hanging off the manifold...

The piping up and back is 2.5 inch so not too much area to fill.

Haha, days off important too :P. What is not good is when you take days off, and then unexpected events mean you can't go on days you were planning to go !

Also gotta figure out if it is indeed just my bulb that has burnt out in my headlight... if it is... china bulbs off ebay, $10... phillips like $67+ ... DECISIONS... Not sure if trust quality (+ shipping time probably like 2 weeks+) ... but then dat money =[

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
