you're not wrong about getting air out. Presumably there is enough overhead room in the flow capacity for most people in most situations. I just took a datalog and the calculated compressor outlet temp reached 400 degrees during a pull.
is there any scientific evidence that fans don't work at higher speeds? has anyone ever measured the air velocity at the back of a heat exchanger stack? trophy trucks that race in baja have radiators behind the cab and rely on fans, and i don't think those overheat. If anyone wants to risk a fan...
Here is my first autocross attempt in the factory boosted 4&6 class. I was definitely outgunned by some smaller, lighter fwd/awd cars. Finished 10th/29 in my class and 47th/113 overall. First time using racerender even though i use my accessport during track days. It was about 90 degrees while...
stupid idea incoming:
water to water heat exchanger (transmission brick cooler), 1 side has coolant pass through, and the other has ice water pumped from a tank in the trunk. They are separate loops and both relatively low pressure. No clue how much energy can be transferred into X amount of...
the third option on the left is where output controls can be used. by default it will probably be on read parameters, switch to control. chances are its a on/off
yes. i either drive in quiet mode in the morning until i get to the highway or track mode for everything else. Plus i like the look of quad tips way better
forscan can do data logging. i have set it up before with engine parameters but haven't recorded. i don't think it will give you a .csv file like a log will from an accessport, but you will be able to visually watch the log. If you would like me to take a snippet of it running on the car i can...
i dont remember if i saw any posts about how your car did with the hood vents. Looks like it was a little chilly. it doesn't have to be the full session, maybe just a lap or 2 to see what the speed is like as well as temps.
as far as boost goes i looked at a drag racing log on the stage 2 93...
i excluded these from my previous comments because i thought i had pictures from the install date but i didn't so i went back and took some more. the left side slid up to the lower mounting points pretty easy, but i had to use a jack on the right side, while using quite a bit of force to the...
Upgraded to race IC, has been on the car for 2 years and about 10k miles. Never saw winter. Has some spots but the surface is still smooth. Will be shipped in original box with all hardware
$275 shipped OBO
anyone have any ideas to get these spots off my intercooler? I've tried water, household cleaner, and tooth paste. not sure how they formed, car never saw a salty winter.
just swapped from the street to the race, was about a 6 hour job, mainly due to fitment/modifications that needed to be done to some plastic trim pieces. the vertical fitment seemed to be very tight once the upper supports were in. without buying new charge pipes will the silicone elbows slide...
having the extra oil capacity from that large heat exchanger is nice, but that kit requires the bumper belly pan (?) to be removed? if it is mounted paralell it seems that a smaller one with a fan would be more efficient than a large one without.
