have a look at my fully sick race car bro, its too sick for you...

Thats it for me. I am out!

[FineLine]

sigh!

[R.I.P.S NZ]

Good one Dave, I presume all the gear I sent over arrived safely?

YOULE!!!!!!!!

yay. go the borg warner! ive a 72

[T04GTR]

what ex housing you running? you got the 87mm turbine wheel? looks like its got some back pressure issues, very nice power but! is it a bullseye turbo or a miketurbo?

[Dynamix]

Would have been nice to find out a bit more on this car, but thanks to the few who f**ked it for everyone else now.

Nice work snotass, whats the goal for the car?

Hi Rob,

all's good, arrived Tuesday, nice machining - nice kit.

Next high comp motor being worked out - custom pistons on order. Your cradle will be in this new engine together with a 88mm compressor.

The current compressor is getting it's exhaust housing opened up a tad...............................................

Thanks for your support.

[T04GTR]

you could try this compressor out for size

sory to spam but..

Thats a very flattering photo of you Dave

[wrxkilla]

impressive car.

interested in seeing some results at the track.

Fantastic - looks a little like me also - i'm fatter though - got a big laugh - thanks

[superjet760]

Look out godzilla motorsports ha ha

[BMYHOE]

lol thats a nice size turbo there..

[T04GTR]

some sort of gt55.. 102mm something

what was the reasonin behind leaving the air-air intercooler on with you running methanol?

just ignore ash and the other twats, and kepe posting specs etc for the rest of us!

You beat me to the question shanef.. even the nitrous wouldn't be that much of a power adder.. more so to get the turbo up to speed on the line?

Not sure if i quite know what your trying to ask me - please elaborate.

As for the NOS - that can be used in a few areas when i require it , differant stages of ramp, out of the hole or even top end - varies.

other intercooler setups i have seen when the engine has been run on methanol, have run no intercooler at all, only a pipe joining the plenum to the turbo

like this:

Compressed air equals heat generation, a meduim such as an intercooler in this scenario is simply a short burst heat sink, unlike in street or circuit appplications.

Laten heat of evaporation will only remove so many btu's in a given period, so if the air intake with no cooler is say 80 deg and the Methanol evaporates at X thus adding extra cooling in the velocity stacks and through to the cylinders - yes. Well if there is a plate and fin heat sink in place between the two and the temp exiting the cooler and entering the intake is say 32 deg then it has to be denser and cooler already before introducing the methanols cooling charertaristics as well.

got to be better than with out - wouldn't you think? See below. Also look up - Isothermal and adiabatic expansion

The input of energy required by a change of state from liquid to vapor at constant temperature is called the latent heat of vaporization. When a liquid undergoes a change to vapor state at normal boiling point the temperature of the liquid will not rise beyond the temperature of the boiling point.

The specific latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapor without a change in temperature.
