GTR-32U Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I am thinking that it isnt the ultimate flow.At high speed the air would bank up against it and rather go around as its an easier path Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270299-ultimate-flow/#findComment-4598354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 What makes the hype? 1.Less than 2 feet IC piping with less than 150 degrees in bends. Every bend or change in direction of air flow is viewed as potential flow loss. It is estimated at every 90 degrees(or three 30 degree bends)results in 1% flow loss. Compare competitors vs ASTRAY. EXAMPLE 90+45+45+90+90+45+90+90+90 = 675 Degrees/90 = 7.5% flow loss just on piping 2.No battery relocation = No drilling big holes for intercooler piping 3.Able to keep front bumper support Removing the front bumper support jeopardizes your engine bay in a front collision. *NOTE: This 240sx would still be able to compete with an ASTRAY IC system as long as the radiator is unharmed. 4.Is not a V-mount IC V-mount intercoolers are prone to heat soak. V-mount ICs lose efficiency when IC and piping become same temperature as ambient air. This often happens when car is not moving and engine bay temps heat IC. 5.Intercooler as direct cooling, no interferences from cars body parts.

Iron Chef Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) I like the theory about how removing the supports when installing a FMIC is somehow more dangerous than mounting an intercooler in the middle of your bonnet and obscuring a good chunk of your forward vision... Looks stupid, IS stupid. Edited May 16, 2009 by Iron Chef Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270299-ultimate-flow/#findComment-4598582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBwhatever Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 maybe if he painted it black it'd be more stealth. 2.No battery relocation = No drilling big holes for intercooler piping Lol just jigsaw a massive rectangular hole in your bonnet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/270299-ultimate-flow/#findComment-4598595 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shit you not, But there used to be a guy getting around Fairfield in an EXA Turbo with a hole cut in the bonnet and atmo BOV sticking straight out about 10-15 cm....That looked stupid. I also seen several guys with holes cut in the side of front bar and pod filter partially sticking out. WTF are these guys thinking ?

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 More so Cooling will be at its maximum. A good idea but interesting about what they said about the V-Mount intercoolers are prone to heat soak. That image is not a V-Mount intercooler, I say it's a Top Mount, V-Mounts are like Front Mounts but on an angle, which is similar shape like a "V". Designed to avoid damage if the front bar has been smashed off. I find it hard to justify this intercooler system, as the Japanese have been using Front and V-Mount intercoolers in they D1 Drift Battles and other drift events.
