Fan mods taken a little far?

Turbos have intercoolers because cold air is denser to start with allowing you to compress the air further. That doesn't look like it has an intercooler. Anyway, with the PS3, you aren't increasing the pressure inside the case. It has holes for air intake as well as exhaust. By forcing more air in, you're forcing the hot air out as it becomes replaced. You can't compare it to an engine. During intake, a cylinder has no exhaust, so pressure increases as air is forced in by the superchargers.

1. That's becuase the front isn't visible in the picture, it's about a foot lower...
2. And it's not finished yet. I'll make a picture of the intercooler when I'm in the garage again.

Lol wut? Turbo's. Superchargers are something else...

Ah. In that picture, I couldn't see an intercooler, but I believe you.

About the turbos being different from superchargers....I knew you were going to say that. Yes and no. They're the same thing for the purpose of this discussion. In fact, turbos are actually turbo-superchargers. Both turbos and conventional superchargers compress are as it's fed into the engine allowing for more fuel to be burned, therefor increasing power. Turbos use exhaust gases to turn the turbines while superchargers are connected to the engine mechanically. This means superchargers actually use some of the engines power, but they're more effective in the low end than turbos which need the exhaust pressure to be high enough to spin fast enough. This causes turbo lag but isn't such a problem anymore with the advent of twin turbos (smaller one for low end then bigger one later on) and variable geometry turbos. Now I'm way off topic, so I'm leaving it there.

Good point. I have PM'd you for off-topic reasons.

Bounkass dont use the report function because you didnt appreciate micks post. Dont do it again. The report function is for REAL "insulting" posts, spam, pirated content or other against the rules posts.

It was insulting in my opinion.

you need to get off wikipedia and into the real world. do you have a turbo in your car? im guessing no otherwise you would have a idea of why turbos need intercoolers

See bold.

Seriously? You find that insulting? You need to quit being a whiny little girl. Im serious dont report something so minor again. If he does this example then sure.....

[b]you need to get off wikipedia you stupid little fuckt@rd and into the real world. do you even have a turbo in your car you dumb son of a biatch? im guessing no otherwise you would have a idea of why turbos need intercoolers but then again why would you your fucking stupid

See the difference. You guys were having a debate. Just because you dont like what he said you shouldnt find it offensive. He never even called you a name so chill.

I suppose you got a good point there too, lol. Sorry.

PICTURE!!!

Guess again.

mmmm r31 with rb26. usually my assumptions are right but sometimes they make a ass outa me. im on the edge about saving up for your engine or continue making my ka a beast, possibly tt it to get some hp of the start but its pritty much a waste of money on most inline engines. also you do know that its generally accepted that intercoolers are more for removing the heat cause by the hot turbo then the air being warmed by compression

ka as in Ford Ka? I love those cars! I think the fit would be possible, I've seen quite small 2 litre 4 cylinder engines do about 2000hp. 500hp per cylinder, obviously. Pretty sick! If you do have a Ford Ka, I would completely strip it down and make it 4WD. Since (I presume) Ford Ka's are very light, it could be a hell of a dragster. If you're into drag racing that is...

naw the nissan KA24DE engine, its in the US 240's, pathfinders and a few other nissan cars. nismo runs through my veins. also i plan on drifting, not draging

Ah, right, cool. Is it US only engine?

[Mick]

us only in the 240's its why there called 240's here (2.4l engine) appose to the silvia in japan and 200sx in europe (they have the 2 liter sr20det engine) they are in other nissan trucks/vans and a few cars from other places in the world

Seriously, PS3 and turbos compared? This site is hilarious. First off putting a fan blowing into the PS3 is not compressing air into it. No such thing. Second compressed air flowing is cool to cold. The purpose of an intercooler is to further cool the charged air and counteract a warm charge side due to a direct metal attachment to the hot side. Without the intercooler your exhaust side will just heat up the charge side and case problems. Back to.the point though, no FI for your PS3 since it is not an option nor really feasible. Add a fan blowing in and one pulling out.

On a side note that is a very good looking motor your putting in that junker. Save your money and buy a nice car.


Please link me a 2000 hp 4 cylinder car capable of street driving. Unheard of.

dude! thats a r31! yeah its no r33 but its still a very respectable car and far from a junker

The motor is not a junker, the car is. You have a ton of work left just to prevent getting a tetanus shot each time you go around it. Save your money and buy a car that is already fully capable. Since your into the Nissan brand save for a GTR. Problem with dropping all that money in that specific car is when you go sell it, and you will, you won't get a fraction of what you have invested back. I am speaking from experience. I only toy with modding the ps3 because exploiting things have always intrigued me. The exploit on the Wii still fascinates me and the fact now the ps3 is close to the Wii in running backups it is very impressive. It's not lack of money to buy games, hell there are not a lot of games that I get into.
