All sorts of awesome in this thread! Will you be visiting my workplace this year dude?

then maybe hinkley point, so nice and clean not shitty coal
That sucks, nothing like rolling in some coal dust
nice with using the toothed wheel it will give you a nice bit of room to play with.going toothed wheel on crank
feck twin scroll (maybe next year) just got a proper housing single scroll .70 a/r it should be fun will hopefully have a bit more progress over the next two weeks may even have dyno results if i really push it but i leave home in the morning at 6 when i get to where my car is at the moment it is 6 in the evening and that is 1.5hours from my house so it is hard to get any bit of progress with trying to fit sleeping in aswell lol
im site manager at Corby for my company so i keep my hands clean and trawl porn sites in the office while looking busyThat sucks, nothing like rolling in some coal dust
Can't fault you there!im site manager at Corby for my company so i keep my hands clean and trawl porn sites in the office while looking busy
still moving ahead slowly as its all the little bits that take time
the water to air cooler matrix
front section of my propshafts in for alteration Z32/S14
need to get loads of exhaust wrap then the exhaust and manifold plus turbo can be fitted
Great work as usual mate.
Why did you go chargecooler instead of FMIC again?
Cheers Aj
a turbos a pump, and would need to fill a large 4" intercooler and pipework causing lag,also meaning i would need to allow a large amount of air flow through the front of the car causing front end lift, the charge cooler per surface area is 4 times more efficient and the hole setup 4 time less in volume so less lag
Smart arse! lol
Hows the actual car coming along? I saw a sneaky pic in your other thread but that crap engine and box was in the way!
Cheers Aj
In practice I've only ever seen them work well on drag cars. Be interested to see how long you stick with it...a turbos a pump, and would need to fill a large 4" intercooler and pipework causing lag,also meaning i would need to allow a large amount of air flow through the front of the car causing front end lift, the charge cooler per surface area is 4 times more efficient and the hole setup 4 time less in volume so less lag
So does that mean you will be running a secondary radiator setup with a constant running water pump in the system, for the chargecooler setup?
yes im using a fiat radiator and electric pump
Ah Cool, I'm really looking forwards to seeing your results. Will you be running water injection aswell?
50/50 water meth, injecting straight at the throttle body, i also have a large header tank for ice
Sorry dude but how have you come to the conclusion that letting air into the engine bay will cause lift?
where do you think the massive volume of air goes that enters the engine bay through the radiator then gets trapped between the inner wings and bonnet and has no alternative but to flow down the bulk head and joint the air already flowing under the car, the faster you go the more the pressure builds
I don't want to be a know it all dude but even if your theory was right, and it's fundamentally flawed, you would be inducing drag and nothing else. It's a product of frontal area of the car in the freestream. Makes no difference that part of that area is inside the engine bay.
You could argue that you'd be reducing the generated downforce by mixing turbulent air into the underbody flow but there's all but no underbody flow control on the car unless it has a flat floor. So it wouldn't matter. And if you had a flat floor, that air would be boxed away from the bottom of the car and unable to mix anyway.
The faster you go, the higher the postive pressure on the nose of the car yeah, but at any form of speed "trapped" air in the engine bay compared to the volume of air the car is passing through is going to be negligible. And any air that was going down the car (assuming exposed floor) would just be rocking back to the freestream.
I still don't get where you get lift from bud.
P.S. Re air going under the car: High Speed = Low Pressure. That's downforce. It's not a case of air going fast under the car from the bay thus causing lift.

not getting into an argument with you and spamming up my thread and do you think compressing hundreds of cubic feet of air into a smaller volume does not cause pressure then what can i say and all my research was pointless and my under floor tray and splitter should go in the bin
Not arguing mate, trying to offer feedback to help you better your car. It isn't spam.
Sigh, specifically said I didn't want to seem like a know it all as well.
Fact is, you aren't compressing hundreds of cubic feet of air in your engine bay and jetting it out of the bottom in a compressed stream that might blow your car up into the air. Which is the only way I can think you're thinking it would cause lift (??). That or dossing up a flat floor arrangement.
Anyway if you're running a flat floor/under tray, how would that air even interact with the underbody like you mentioned? How would it flow down the bulkhead and join the underbody flow. It'd be boxed in. Eliminating what you just said your concern was.
And just for the record, I never once said compressing air wouldn't cause pressure. In an unsealed bonnet, the rate of evacuation would be proportional to the rate of ingress.
