water to air cooler maybe? like a celica one?

[Nikkojoe]

mine revs to limiter, just sometimes timing retards and it doesn't make much power above 5500rpm, if any at all.

[riojin]

i don't get it mate. you are saying your gze has trouble hitting the limiter?

mine can bounce off the 7250rpm limiter all day everyday under load or not. i actually wish it was higher because i make the most power at around that rpm.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (riojin @ Apr 27 2008, 12:52 PM) </div>You refering to me or biggo?

If you are, I never said it had trouble hitting limiter, just the way it got there was crap due to the common knock sensor issue (old toymods have it discussed further and i think also there is a dyno print out somewhere). Today I took it for a run, and it rev'ed to limiter nicely with no issue and felt like it could go more.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (slydar @ Apr 27 2008, 12:03 PM) </div>had thought of that as well, expensive to buy and it further complicates a busy engine bay. even if you put it where the washer bottle once was the piping length would still be very similar to what i have planned, add to that finding a watercooler that has the outlets where you want them.

i'm actually moving the radiator back further into the engine bay, hopefully around 40-50mm moreso if possible (hard to tell what i can get away with untili have engine mounted but moreso the radiator is it has quite a decent core). this should free up space down low where the supercharger oulet pipe can have a short pipe to the cooler and then the outlet of the cooler will be up near the radiator support so it will also only require a short pipe to the manifold. the cooler at this stage is an R32 stock item that has been modded so the inlet/outlet is where i need them. might not stay but it will suit for the time being.

ally air diversion trays will ensure the cooling efficiency is not affected. another reason i'm sticking with the landcruiser radiator is its over efficiency for that engine, even if airflow is an issue it shouldn't prove a problem.

did a fair bit of research today on the abv mod and have some questions.
first of all here is my gze install and where my z32 intercooler sits for the people who r interested (some of the piping has been fixed as there were holes at one stage)


ok so from what i read today with the abv mod i have to plug up the line that comes from the valve to the intake so it can't bleed the excess boost yeh? thats what i have gathered anyway. so for all the kids out there i did a quick drawing in paint of the lines i found when i had a quick look. can anyone point in the right direction as to which line needs to be blocked or if there is more to it than that.

the green line comes from the abv to something on the side of the engine bay where a plug presumably from the ecu plugs into with some type of valve ontop(red+green circle) and then a line (orange)comes out the top and disappeares near the charger as it was too dark to follow it further

Coolers.........

Mine (gze,afm,aw11) hunted pretty badlt when i had a stock cooler front mounted.

I changed to longer piping, and fitted a 550x190,76mm cooler behind the front bar.....no more hunting!


next question...
My car has boost when i start it and for about 5mins into a drive with a noisey charger...(i can hear it when i back off),
15 mins later, it doesn't make any boost, and i can no longer here it.. car still runs fine, idle's drives, so i know its not boost leak.

Could it be the elect clutch? or is my charge fried?

anyone got a sc14?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (johl @ Apr 27 2008, 03:53 PM) </div>To mod the abv remove both the orange and green lines on the blue vsv. The orange line goes into the intake down a little further, so block that off. The Green line that goes to the abv gets T'ed into a boosted line (ie the line you might have your boost gauge running off).

[johl]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nikkojoe @ Apr 27 2008, 07:02 PM) </div>so i block the orange line off from as close to the intake as possible or near the thing i circled? or is that circled thing called a vsv?
and the green line still runs from the abv to the circled item but i put a t piece in between and run it back into a boosted line?

EDIT: did a bit of searching and know that circled item is a vsv

[Hen is a total nutcase]

To make my frontmount piping easier I ran a narrower radiator (Gemini, they come in 2 and 3core varieties) over toward to passenger side. And ran my cooler pipes through the gap left on the driver's side of the radiator support panel.

Firstly this was with the stock topmount, then with a GZ20 cooler modified to have inlet and outlet on the one side.

Keeps pipes about as short as possible.
