i know this is a source for some arguement but I'm after a cheap FMIC. The one I have at the moment is quite bizaare with the pipework doublebacking to go to the original side mount locations. With this in mind I have looked at different coolers and have been looking at the end tank design. It was this part that seems to have caused the biggest concern on previous threads. You can by cheap skyline intercoolers and the end tanks look like they would flow quite well. I know this isn't very scientific but what are your opinions? Has anyone fitted a skyline intercooler before? How do you think the ones in the pictures compare to each other? Many thanks to all

sorry i didn't see this earlier, i've been up to cranwell 3 times for the tests! glad it went well for you though, fingers crossed

Yup still the case, just trying to clear the credit card before 2nd Jan! The car hasn't moved in a good few weeks as the battery became U/S. I think I'll just replace it with a Halfords one

sure is, quite possibly a new record

would 3pm at the BP garage at the junction with the A23 and A27be OK

I'm in Worthing, any time this weekend would be fine and I don't mind driving to meet you somewhere

I never played with them but I'm sure they are, I think that is what the little knobs on the top are for I don't have the spanners for the spring nuts as well.

These were on my supe when I bought it. The reason I changed them is that they made a knocking noise over harsh bumps. Many people told me that it was just down to the solid top mounts. Other than that they had worked perfectly. I haven't cleaned them up as this is how they came off the car, any questions welcome. I'm after 150quid EXCLUDING postage which I believe to be around £30. I don't mind travelling locally (south). I'm selling them so I can get a wideband with gauge SOLD

I would definately check that all the intercooler pipes/ intake manifold are leak free. I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong but my take on the above is as follows: The wastegate takes pressure from the compressed air after the turbo. If there is a leak it will cause the pressure going to the wastegate to fluctuate. The pressure will rise then fall as the air escapes. As the air escapes the wastegate will think the turbo’s boosting less so will close again, the pressure will rise and could cause some over boost at this point because the turbo will be working even harder to make the same pressure. This is how my mind sees it anyhow

cheers for the info. I haven’t had any experience no which does sound dodgy. I have been getting help from other forum members though and tbh I won’t be attempting any of mapping for ‘driving’ conditions. I have really just been having a look at the start up and idle so that hopefully when it comes to getting the car properly mapped it will be a lot easier! I have also wanted to learn about the aem just so that I know what I’m looking at

Just looking into the timing of my car. Please correct me if I am wrong: to set up the timing on the supe correctly the crank pulley mark should be set to the 0 degree mark (tdc) and the cam marks to the corresponding grooves on the cam cover. in my pics the crank pulley is slightly off. does any one know how much this would put my timing off by? would it just be the degrees shown on the markings or does that amplify through the rev range etc? many thanks

here's the dwell and settings under ignition phasing tab

my cal is on post 104. It's been slightly modified since it was posted (scales etc) but the settings for coil dwell and ignition sync I believe are the same. my coil dwell looks very similar if not identical to yours which I guess means it is right. what do you have as far as ignition sync is concerned?

Just been looking at my map trying to figure out some of the problems. I see in the ignition phasing options, ignition sync is set to 0.09. Is this correct? On the aem forum they have always said not to mess with the ignition sync. Also the coil dwell vs batt volts table has been altered compared to every other map i have seen. Is this to do with the HKS dli? Has anyone with a DLI and aem adjusted their coil dwell settings and if so how. many thanks for any help

cheers

does anyone know if the cams are the same in Jap spec supes as in the UK or US supes? Also is there any difference in ignition timing as standard? many thnaks

my mate once had a Trust exhaust on his Skyline GTS. I sounded amazing like a jet engine, don't know how it would sound on a supe though

My Mrs better not find out I did this

PHR cast manifold. Haven't driven the car much but no issues with it so far. Fit was fine although it's not the prettiest manifold you've ever seen. Good for quick spool

I ordered a 45 degree female hose end as I thought this would bolt onto the staight male to male connection that came with the pick. From the pic of my car you can see that I've fitted a 90 degree fitting to the adapter plate which is a bit of a botch. I cannot advise you to do it this way. I believe your best bet is to mimic the kit that Homer had on his car. This will involve buying a 45 degree male to male adapter. I believe the sizes of this are 10An to 1/2 inch NPTF. I wonder if Homer could confirm this. I have stolen some pics from Homer's build thread (I hope you don't mind Homer) to hopefully explain

I’m trying to sort out the battery offset for the SARD 650cc Hi-Imp injectors I have fitted. The required info is not in the AEM set up wizard. From the AEM forum I have found that people have tried the following settings: 2550 2550 2550 2550 2520 2030 1750 1500 ???? 1250 1080 2550 2550 2550 2290 2100 1890 1730 1620 1500 1420 1300 I haven’t found anything definitive yet. I did have someone else’s map who was using the SARD 650s but it’s at my mates house at the moment who is away on holiday. Has anyone else used these injectors with an AEM? I have also heard that the SARD 650 injectors are the same as the Denso and Holley injectors. Has anyone heard of this?

I was going to but I've been talking to some others on the forum and it looks like I'll be able to get some much needed and very appreciated help. I'll keep the post updated with what's going on when I know more.

Cheers, I've decided to start again with my map. I'll post up my progress. I think it would be good for AEM users to have some more stuff on this site. The AEM site is OK but not too 'new user' friendly. I appreciate this forums help and hopefully I'll be able to help others at some point.

the car was mapped upto 1.4 bar but I've only been driving it up to 1 bar. Feels quick enough to me and a bit safer while things are still being sorted out
