Looking to do the following mods to my silvia next, Front mount intercooler, blow off valve and bleed valve. Tho i don't know if i really need a bleed valve if i have a boost controller already. On my silvia (s15) i have the following, full racing twin tip exhaust, panel/air filter, & boost control. Running a bit over 1 bar of boost at peak. If i do the following mods mentioned above, will there be much difference?

@kingpinoy well you might get a little lag due to the bigger inter-cooler but your car will love you for it.

you car and turbo will run cooler . if your not going to change boost your not going to see any difference.

getting a bov make your car run richer if you have stock ecu and youl get black stains on bumper.

if you have boost controller you wont need a bleed value

Does anyone know if its possible to disconnect turbos from skylines since im on my P's in Australia and cant drive a skyline legally with one. Also is it an expensive process?

[R33PMYSTA]

@FluteSunday yes but not cheap

need stock non turbo ecu

then a stock manifold

thats all not to hard

then you will need to plug up the oil and water lines that go in to your turbo

i'm instaling my intercooler tomorrow front mount obviously ummm my brother had to cut his bumper to fit his in my bumper loooks like it was built ready for an intercooler (check out my page and tell me if i will need to modify it to have it fit over the intercooler) nissan skyline r33 gts-t type m.

@alvarezah how did the intercooler install go

you need to mod the car only a little like what u see on the video

the only engine mod u need is a pod as the pipe get in the way of the stock one

[R33PMYSTA]

@lovehocki that is the stock body kit . nismo make that from for some of there series 2 and they came with light weight enki wheels too just cant see in pic as i did the inter cooler as i got it back from the pits 3 day after it got to Australia .

but you are very right about looks over performance

iv done many more mods but dont no what ones people would like to see

Can you use any intercooler on any car?

1) If you run a bigger cooler n not adjust the boost to suit,then by rights the engine will lag as there is now more internal volume in the form of the bigger cooler core, end-tanks and associated piping. 2) a bov will make your engine more responsive in between gears. However, with an airflow meter,a bov would release some of the air that's already been accounted for by the airflow meter, causing spluttering as the engine experience pulses of rich condition caused by the excess fuel.

A bleed valve is a poor man's boost controller.  Just remember, having a huge intercooler at the front doesn't necessarily mean it'll give you more power ! It could even work in reverse and cause you a bit of grief in the form of turbo lag..... You know what to do ? make up a water misting setup at the front of the car and feel the intercooler 4X in efficiency ! We did it a while back and it took us from 296rwkw @15psi to 309rwkw @14psi

All u need to convert a turbo engine back to n/a, is to physically remove the turbo and join up what's left OR install a set of 6-2-1 n/a extractors. The factory turbo ecu will work fine but just a tad rich mixture-wise. Spending no more than a couple of hundred for the little bits. The factory turbo ecu will calculate how much fuel to squirt into the cylinders by looking at what's gone thru the air-flow meter, boosted or not..

[1106SMOK]

You DO NOT need stock-anything. To convert a turbo'd Skyline back to n/a, get yourself a 'de-turbo pipe' which replaces the turbo & dump-pipe from the T3 flange on the stock turbo manifold to the triangular flange at the top of the front pipe. The turbo ecu will calculate the fuel needed to support only what's passed thru the airflow meter, boosted or not. The other option is to replace the turbo, manifold and dumppipe with a simple set of efficient 6-2-1 extractors. Btw, this works

any advantage for front mount vs top mount inter cooler

[kingpinoy]

@R33PMYSTA Hey mate, got the front mount and BOV installed, with just one problem or several depending. My temp gauge sez my car is over heating. Driving around for 20 mins will cause the temp of my car to go up close to the H mark which of course isn't any good. Took it to a few local mechanics and have heard different things. Such as the temp gauge might need replacing coz my car apparently is at normal temp but the meter sez otherwise. Don't want to risk it, what's your take?

@R33PMYSTA Cheers bro, appreciate the advice.
