Mid_lifecry_sis Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 here we go - idiot with no idea on the tech section again. So with a HKS air filter and second CAT removed with a Hyper running @ 1 bar right now, with the addition of a Blitz SBC DC on Thursday am (yippee) when programmed to 1.2bar etc - will it: on a warm or cold day start pulling that 1.2 or what ever I programme? I am right in thinking it will set the turbos to run to 1.2 despite heat etc?? :looney: Feel a right burke. Just wanted to be clear. You see I had 1.2 bar, now its gone and I have 1 bar, now I can have it back - perhaps I'd be better off with homing pigeons? I know about those: 1. Unless forcibly separated, pigeons mate for life. 2. Male pigeons have the rare ability to lactate, producing milk for the babies just like the females do! 3. Newborn pigeons weaned on the “pigeon milk” of both parents, double their weight in the first two days! 4. A grown pigeon has nearly 10,000 feathers. 5. Pigeons have been known to live over 30-years! 6. In the 17th century, King George I of England, decreed all pigeon droppings to be property of the Crown—and the “lofts” were policed to enforce the law! (Pigeon manure was used in making gunpowder) 7. With the ability to beat its wings up to ten times per second, and maintain a heart rate of 600 beats per minute for up to 16-hours without rest, the racing pigeon is the unequalled athlete of the air! 8. A famous WWI homing pigeon named “Cher Ami” finished his distinguished career by delivering a vital message: The location of the famous “Lost Battalion”. That mission alone is credited with saving nearly 200 human lives! “Cher Ami” was awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Palm for his heroic service. He died of his extensive battle wounds. 9. One WW II homing pigeon named “GI Joe” saved over 1000 allied soldiers lives in a single mission! He was awarded the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross. His average speed on that flight was 60 mph! 10. Despite enemy fire, pigeons achieved a 98% success rate in missions flown in WW II—often with mortal injuries to themselves. 11. The French, Swiss, Israeli, Iraqi and Chinese armies still use homing pigeons today! Pigeons proved valuable in the Gulf War, as their messaging was not affected by electronic jamming. 12. The pigeon has the rare ability for a large bird to be able to fly nearly straight up. 13. Pigeons have been taught to use “tools” and were found to retain that knowledge! See the film Oldest Feathered Friend, which you can preview at: http://www.paccomfilms.com/films/pigeons.html 14. Studies conducted by B.F. Skinner at Harvard showed that pigeons have a visual memory that can store at least 300 objects or images indefinitely! 15. The pharmaceutical industry in Australia “employed” pigeons trained to identify anomalies in pills and capsules on a moving conveyor, and remove them from production. The birds did outstanding work but authorities quickly put an end to the practice! 16. Racing Pigeons routinely maintain flight speeds of 50 to 60 mph! 17. Some pigeons reverse-commute, feeding on grain in the country, while living in the city. 18. Advanced studies at the University of Montana conclude: “Pound for pound, columba livia (the pigeon) is one of the smartest, most physically adept creatures in the animal kingdom.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 You will peak at 1.2 bar but if its warm that will tail off to probably 1.0 bar. Just sell the wife and buy a great big intercooler:D Or move to Iceland:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Wahey! - The new Supra!!! There's nothing wrong with being stuck in the eighties Anyway, in answer to your question... In the simplest terms I can think of Cold weather makes more boost... Hot weather makes less boost... Cold = Good Hot = Bad Regardless of mods...

Mid_lifecry_sis Posted September 16, 2003 Author Share Posted September 16, 2003 so how do you check for leaks ect. Cold this am and I only went to 1.1 bar for a fraction? Mat - gulp - is it expensive for you to look at leaks!!!!! New Airfilter in today and I hear that reshaping my exhaust may have cracked it somewhere... I will where jeans!

Geezabloke Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Mid The DSBC settings are dialled in as Ratio's of available boost... If say for instance on a cold day your dialled setting is 50% ratio and you peak at 1.2 bar.... On a hot day the same ratio of 50% may only peak to 1.0 bar... Cold "Denser" air helps the combustion ratio, therefore as Matt said COLD- GOOD HOT - BAD Not bad for a NON tech Rude boy...lol Corrections may be left at any time...lol Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
