<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nikkojoe @ Apr 24 2008, 06:36 PM) </div>i feel a bit silly now seeing as i have a bridge pipe setup, and i am running a bigger pulley worth a couple more psi.
response, yeah, its very nice haha.

and yes it can get hot sometimes, but not very often. only sitting in traffic/stop-start and this is most likely due to still running off of a stock radiator thats buggered.

out of curiosity nikkojoe, what do u think the negatives are of such a setup?
cheers

Well, the pvc pipe melted at stock boost and was rated to 160DegC.

SC12's efficiency goes down as you spin it more to make more boost and they generally make more heat than anything. So lets say 200DegC into your intake maybe as an estimate?

Oh and it doesn't matter about engine temps much, it wont affect that really. Just mainly you don't want 150C+ air into your intake

rofl.
point taken.

some info on the best suited cooler/piping arrangement would be worth posting up if anyone has any ideas.

things such as pictures showing layouts/directions of piping.

[Nikkojoe]

Same sided cooler is a good option to avoid running past exhaust (just wrap the cold pipe with insulation to avoid it getting hot) and also helps to keep total travel length of air short.

PVC is good at fabbing/test fitting where to mount your cooler. Also good if you want to get pipes made up, just present your sample and get one copied. Also good to get the car moving too

a new guy started at work. hey has an ae82 with an ae101 ZE.

the only mod he has done is the HKS abv mod and he has 10-11 psi. i was watching it tonight as we went for a strap.

the car goes really well, still has the top mount cooler (no hole in the bonnet) and standard exhaust!

I am running same sided piping and the stock top mount intercooler front mounted atm. This was put together quick to get the car on the track in time for an event though.

I have a same sided larger aftermarket cooler in my posession though that I am planning to rig up with some nice shiny pipe and all that for the long run.

But yeah, the idea being nice realitively small diameter pipe for the shortest distance possible so minimum volume of air between the s/c and the cylinders. The intercooler is obviously where the vast majority of the volume in the system lies which is how you want it to be really.

Anyway, pic of current set up:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (riojin @ Apr 23 2008, 03:48 PM) </div>My T50 is going to shit, sounds more like a dog box, which aint a good thing.

I run an autronic SMC, and we had no problems tuning mine, as for others, I've heard about some dramas with a few things

I run an SC14. on 9psi, (with a front mount and various other intake bits ) stock pulleys and I get 143rwkw...


How do you find the exhaust? I need to upgrade my badly, as I've got a 2.5in system with two SHIThouse mufflers and a full cat... I need to make it breath, but still be track/road worthy. there are still noise limits at some of the hillclimbs I do....

new points to discuss

what is the ABV mod and what does it do?

is it worth switching to aftermarket management? AE101 being the series in question.

thats all..

ABV bleeds off boost at a certain level (air bypass valve). ABV mod stops it from bleeding off boost (a required mod if running more boost).

You will see some mild gains with aftermarket management, but better value for money with an sc14 upgrade aswell as aftermarket management
