I spoke with my chid’s the Noble’s engine installer today. Super nice guy, very informative. Anyway, I’ve decided to get two mods out of the way during install. The car will now be prepped with a larger 3 inch thick core intercooler (vs 2 inch stock) and HKS Super Sequential blowoff valve. The larger rae intercooler will allow me to drive longer and harder in hot temperatures while keeping the motor’s intake air temperature down. That means the computer won’t have to retard the engine’s timing and rob power on hot days. The blow off valve serves two purposes. First, some background: Hit the gas and the turbo forces air into the motor. Close the throttle and you’ve got pressurized air with nowhere to go. Well, that isn’t exactly true. It just puts backpressure on the turbo itself, slowing and stressing it. So the turbos lifespan is shortened and you lose some boost during shifts. The Blow off valve (BOV) lets the trapped pressure escape when the throttle is slammed shut. The turbos keep spinning and feel none of the backpressure. That is the first purpose. The second? It sounds cool.
Sounds like the car will be ready for delivery at the end of next week (26th maybe). Motor is in, turbos on. currently he is running coolant lines, wiring the ECU and getting ready to fire the motor. |
