Ah man... Kwaka man I love the effort you put into that, but I swear posts like that are what breed the next generation of simpletons!

Good son of rajab... Kwaka... I am just going to sit here and applaud. Why I never thought of cooling ambient air with ambient air is just a kick in the nuts. And I spent all that money on turbocharg

OK, so I have a Subaru Liberty with a EZ30 (3L 6 cylinder thing) and I want to increase my powers using the ideas displayed here... but I have a few questions...

1. Do I install a FMIC (ie, what all the cool kids put on their modified WRXs and Liberty GTs) or am I better off getting a TMIC like a standard Liberty/WRX? Will I still need a (drag inducing) bonnet scoop if I choose the later?

2. The standard throttle body is fly by wire. Will my second throttle body need to be the same? Or will I get better results with a RB25 throttle body? As we all know that the equipment made by Nissan in the early '90s MUST be better than something Subaru made 10 years later

3. The standard air intake has a pre air filter resonator which I have removed to make my car sound like it has a pod filter (lolololol). Could I install a throttle body and pod filter here AND a throttle body and intercooler elsewhere, therefore bringing my car up to 3 throttle bodies and two intercoolers?

You will need to install a second accelerator pedal that you have to use with your left foot

THAT'S IT! I'll put a variable resistor on the clutch so that the second (and possibly third) throttle body opens when I ride the clutch! Riding the clutch puts less load on the engine and therefore makes more power! It will be like two power gains at once!

Eh, thread got gay.

I'm now switching to Team ARTZ. Let's go team!

Get farked. Thread got gay when I stopped posting.

Although I laughed a lot at Artz pic of a civic with an intercooled CAI.

Can't believe some f**k was dumb enough to do it for real. Must be a Honda thing.

Why not do it now and just enjoy the extra power until you've got a full licence? The power gains to be had with an intercooled naturally boosted CAI set up in an N/A are phenomenal when you consider how hard it is to get power out of an N/A.

Everything you use will be used again in the future when you turbo it.

Everyone is right, your car does look like a factory N/A, so it will have higher compression which means it won't be as fast/torquey as a low comp motor without the compression restricting it, but with my write up you can get a hell of a lot more power man :)

For even more gains you can remove your air flow meter, gut it and reinstall it. The AFM is only a restriction really. Literally a 10-15 minute job if you've got a big ass screwdriver to smash the guts out of it with and you'll gain 15 or so HP and your car will rev up much faster.

Think about where you started with cars and ask yourself if you think carrying anything past one mis-informed post is going to help anyone? sure, have a joke but seriously, you are convincing him you are right. Have a laugh, with one or two posts, make it completely obvious you are joking and move on.

Not cool

Have a sook.

There are plenty of people here saying that my suggestions won't work and a quick google should result in a complete lack of information regarding intercooled N/A's. If that's not enough to steer someone away from doing it, then so be it.

You digging this thread up may cause a gung ho idiot to read the first few pages, not bother reading the rest and put the parts on their car.

How would you feel if someone did that just because you were irresponsible enough to dig up shit some guy dribbled as a joke that had since been buried?

Not cool.

Dude it's the NA section. Threads move slowly here. It was no where near buried. And the previous post was less than a day before his. Hardly a thread dig lol.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
