KE38 would you care to hmmm explain your "plumbing" in your engine bay.I'm struggling to work it all out lol!
|
I think everyone else has explained it well. Pod is in aluminium box, pipe to turbo inlet, compressor to intercooler, cooler to throttle inlet.

Where bouts you running the end of the pipe out? Out the front?
|
The airbox has two 3" feeds which take in air from the front of the car, one is high, one is low. One would probably have been sufficient but two can't be bad  . If you run a feed make sure it's not too low or the next puddle you drive through could be the death of your engine

he has an air box on the drivers side of the engine bay with the intake pipe to the turbo going accross the front of the engine and into the compressor housing. what i dont get is why you chose to do this?
|
Originally this was running the factory ECU and airflow meter and factory air box (as TE72_Turbo has already mentioned). All this stuff could only fit on the drivers side of the engine bay so that crossover pipe had to be made. After going aftermarket ECU I was going to ditch the crossover pipe but I couldn't construct the air box neatly on the passenger side of the engine bay so I just kept it. My BOV vents back into this large pipe too.

there is a fair chance that any air that is cooled via the cold air intake is heated back up due to engine bay heat + long pipe.
|
Surpisingly the pipe doens't even get hot if the car is in motion. The air box droppped intake temps considerably and I don't think I get much increase in temp in the pipe.

not having a go at ya mate, just curious to know why you did it this way?
|
No probs at all, I hope I explained it all. But basically the pipe was a necessity in the old setup and is just convenient to keep in the new setup

oh and whats the specs on this turbo 4age?
what turbs? what boost? what ecu and power does it produce?
|
T28 (from a set of twins on a GTR Skyline), 19psi (high boost) or 13 psi (low boost), microtech MTX-8, 170rwkw@19psi (made this power at numerous dyno days in Canberra and Sydney, including the Toymods Dyno day).
Phil (TE72_Turbo) you better show them some more current pics when you are finished with the upgrades
