Those little things always seem like a PITA but it's all worth it once you turn that key for the first time after it's tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 08/06/15 10:05 AM Author Share Posted 08/06/15 10:05 AM (edited) Than you for the support. It is greatly appreciated. As I'm back at work, I only get a few days a fortnight to work on the car. My engine guru completes the technical stuff while I'm away. So this helps to keep it moving along. The hot side is completely finished and we are working on the turbo induction. We decided to put the blow off valve on the hot side, so that we could keep it neater. We were considering the cold side, but we were concerned by the length of 2" required to get it across the other side of the car would be a restriction. This also reduces congestion in the engine bay. In this pic, we have placed a 4", 45 degree silicon elbow. So that we can work out where the intake will run and what we need to complete the task. A 5" stainless elbow had been ordered and should have arrived today. This is a the spacer that I had Plazmaman make to rectify the MAP sensor issue. It will be place between the plenum entry and the throttle body. It was supposed to be O'ringed by them, but as you can see, it was sent without this bring completed. However, they were kind enough to send the O'rings with it. Just another unnecessary frustration.......

Lots of turbulence directly behind the throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 08/06/15 11:19 AM Author Share Posted 08/06/15 11:19 AM (edited) We considered this when the problem presented itself. I was fortunate to speak with a friend who had a Nitto plenum about the topic. While his car was being tuned (By Phil Laird), they indentifie reversion from the runners were effecting the Map sensor (which was near the rear of the plenum). To rectify this, they remounted the map to the front of the plenum, as far from the runners as possible. I guess that time will tell, if you are correct. Btw, thanks for fixing my pics. ☺ Edited 08/06/15 11:20 AM by HI PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern was more around the turbulence from the throttle blade at part throttle.Re pics No probs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't reversion, it was pulse from the ports that was playing havoc with the MAP sensor. I will discuss your concern with my engine guy, when I get home tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.
