  1. If you're just going to cut and paste sh*t from the internet you may as well just spit links at us.
  2. You're missing the part in relation to that diagram that shows tube and fin coolers flow better and have quicker heat transfer. A tune and fin cooler can make more power and cool down quicker within a exact dimension comparison and can do it again within a shorter time frame when heat soaked than a bar and plate cooler will. Bar and plate has always been considered inferior for these reasons. Fwiw I prefer bar and plate cos I'll just get (a farken huge one) the biggest one I can utilize. A large bar and plate cooler can absorb the heat and flow well due to it's size. An intercooler has a much larger effect on intake temps than piping does but at low/off boost driving the piping will get heat soaked while the cooler stays cool due to airflow. This piping cools down pretty quickly when on boost. A custom water to air setup would work better than either on the turbo fords imo but most folks aren't going the custom route with various mods. It's bolt on for days which in a way is good because there are proven results available for comparison. Water/meth injection would solve a lot of issues too but that's getting off topic.
  3. https://plazmaman.com/shop_itemdetail.php This is what you're after I reckon. Confirm with Jet. Edit: haha sounds like you're in good hands op.
  4. I thought I was hard done by with my economy when I get on it.
  5. So I modded an r34 gtr in Assetto Corsa for drag racing. It has a couple of suspension mods, a hectic grip mod, boost, wg and boost gauge mods, weighs 300 kg less (around 1335kg) and obviously a power mod. Maybe some other crap I can't recall right now. I found slipping the clutch in first to launch and short changing into 2nd will keep the front end down. It won't do a skid due to grip. The turbo really comes in at 6k rpm. Here is the file on dropbox. You go to Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\cars\ks_nissan_skyline_r34\data Backup your data folder and replace it with the modded one. I managed a 6.999 quarter mile on the back wheels. Have fun and share your modded cars if you have some.
  6. There you go @k31th Next time you can go to the island with Rab.
  7. That's still stock turbo territory. You can tune the turbo to come on slower and it hooks up heaps better than just slamming full boost in as soon as you can. I haven't taken my zf equipped car around a track but I imagine that as long as it's kept cool and well fed it will do what it's supposed to. On a recent hills drive I found other things lacking before the transmission.
  8. Ya know one way you can tell if it's coils?
  9. Ftfy Remedy: R&r coils or regap plugs
  10. Haha I'm only sh*t stirring you bud. I buy coppers and last time I checked they still have a fat arsed electrode. I've had no issues hand gapping them and running over 30 psi on my r33 and now 18 to 20 psi on my xr6 so while I could throw money down the drain I don't need to. Obviously it can be farked up if someone doesn't know what they are doing, just like changing a tyre or swapping out brake pads or sticking it in the right hole when the lights are out. The fact remains is that you can regap a plug, even an iridium plug, to solve a weak coil issue. A little info never hurt anyone.
  11. If you can't gap a set of plugs without farking them you aren't a mechanic. Edit: His "old" plugs aren't old.
  12. I'll stick to gapping my plugs unless new ones are needed then sure get smaller gapped ones. It's better for me not to waste a set of plugs. Each to his own though ay
  13. I already have a Honda Odyssey but will be upgrading that toward the end of the year methinks.
  14. The reason you close the plug gap is so the spark wont blow out. I'm gunna pull a Jet moment here and say work the rest out yourselves Being a Puffwagon and all I'll tell yas the answer if you can't though
  15. They were good today. I told them that if they behaved I'd take them to the park and it seemed to work. Then the boys proceeded to go mental at the park. It tired them out good which is a plus when I have 3 of them at home by myself. Getting them all in and out of the car takes a while though.
  16. Nothing like wrestling 3 kids into 3 car seats in the back of a falcon and taking them to the shops. Wish me luck.
  17. http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html Best 5.4 metres.
  18. I reckon that's a better idea than spending all your money on a daily then flogging the living fark out of it.
  19. You know what would be cheaper than coils? Closing the plug gap. A small adjustment to say 0.8 would probably keep the issue at bay for many more thousands of kms. It can't hurt to try before shelling out for coils. I'd try that first being a puffwagon and all.
