Niceeee.....

 

looks great, but playtex??

 

looks good. it'll definately look 100x better when its either polished or powdercoated.

it's an ongoing joke... the playtex...

If you ever get a chance to check the contents of an Infiniti G35's first aid kit you should.

 

nice job p00p

 

Hope you polish out the welds, they aure fugly.. Rest looks great

 

good idea....that will make tuning easier

 

good idea....that will make tuning easier

Yeah, good idea PEWP

Thanks T.C.

 

do you think RIPP's original blow thru design could have been the cause of some of the tuning problems related to some of those engines blowing?....because i am under the impression that most places cant properly tune a set up that is blow through, thats why i wont be getting the boostology turbo...

 

it's steel so i won't be able to have them polished i don't think, i plan on getting it powder coated silver, so it is nice and clean looking. i'm still waiting on my HKS SSQV bov w/ the recirculation kit. they are working on the piping for between the compressor and throttle body today i think.

as far as ripp's blow through design goes... i am not sure, i mean for a car that is gonna be track only or if you don't care about drivability it is fine. i don't think it's causing tuning issues, but i do think it takes away from drivability (hesitations and **** from erractic air flow through the maf). i'm hoping what i'm doing here will be the resolution to the driving hicups that i was having.

 

nicely done, i applaud you

Thanks T.C.

i sense some sarcasm??? did he do something wrong?

 

^^^ im guessin it was his idea first

 

You can get it elctro polished itll look sweet.

 

never heard of that... i will probably just powder coat it and be done with it. i'm not lookin to get all fancy...

as far as whose idea this was first, recirculating systems have been used with a maf setup well before i started on this or TC with his turbo. so as far as the tiburon community goes, no one here is an innovator for thinking about using it. it is really the only logical way to go.

 

Very nice. The electro polish would look amazing on that steel...

 

it is really the only logical way to go.

exactly....what is kind of silly is that other companies trying to release f/i options for our vehicles are using blow through set ups :3_redcard

 

:m_hijacke hey pewp, how much did that recirculation kit cost ya and which model specific one did you order?

It's an HKS SSQV...and if i recall correctly it was a universal one...

And btw pewp... when i was running the hex cell it cured ALL the normal day to day driveability quirkyness i had... so while you are right that it's the turbulent air through the maf that is causing weird hesitation and what not it can easily be resolved.

The only reason i took it out is because i was cleaning the intake piping, and unfortunately tapping on it caused it to mash in in some spots which restricted flow and caused me to lose a small amount of WOT power, so i removed it...but when it was fresh and the holes were open properly it ran great and i didnt sacrifice any power for driveability... actually though the car really isnt driving too bad at all without it since i got the ecu.

Just my addition... hope it helps.

o i know what kind of BOV it is, but isnt the recirculation kit seperate, because i thought the hks ssqv was a none recirculating BOV

 

the ssqv has a recirculating kit that is like 12 bucks. it is just a metal outlet that allows a hose to be clamped on...

as far as the hex cell goes, i never liked the idea of that. seems like it would be counter productive to me, and just a band aid.

 

Fianlly some progress. Thanks pewp. Where the piping looks gravy also. cant wait to see how it works for you

Instead of powder coating, you should have it jethot coated. It's probably about the same price. They were only going to charge me 140 for my stage4 upper.

 

Lookin' GREAT Pewp!! :3_winkthu

I personally think TC was being sincere... but I've been wrong before. Either way - this was definitely the right thing to do.

I personally don't think the "tuning issues" had anything to do with the engines blowing... but the MAF being post-blower and the BOV venting to open atmosphere were definitely causing low-end driveability problems. Hopefully this solve some of those issues...

Actually, for me, installing the hex cell caused all kinds of new driveability issues. I took it out after a day...



Anyway - I personally think you're also going to need some method of bumping the timing at idle, Pewp, as that seemed like the major variable in my current driveability success. Be that the ECU, a DIS-4, or some other method... I still think it will be necessary.

BTW - did you ever verify that ECU you picked up was a K52?

there she is! haha... no i have to send it to ross so they can look at it, i've just spaced it, will make a note to do it today... that is the way i plan to bump the timing. i don't feel like sticking a bunch more electronics in the ****er, i'm going to give the ecu remap a whirle and see how that goes. i do agree that there needs to be a timing bump at idle, but at the same time i don't think the issues will be as sereve with the draw thru setup. we will see, all i'm going to do is retune it once it's done to see how it differs from the current state, then once i get my ecu (or any working remapped ecu for that matter) back with some injectors i will be zeroing out the safc to see how their tune stacks up with the draw through. i'm sure the top end will need to be fine tuned, but i expect that with or without the draw thru.
