You wasn't supposed to tell him. Nicked that aswell lol

Lee, I assume this manifold would be made available for sale if it turns out well?

[leevx2.2]

Yes as long as it's no cheaper than it's costing me ;-)

[ArticMonkey]

Well everyone knows you're tight, so shouldnt brake the bank.

[Graeme Lambert]

Bit like your mount

Well, I'd rather you did just tell me... At least Joe brought it back - I didn't even know what it was!

Just don't tell Helen how much it costs. Or Naomi for that matter. Joe nearly dropped it today when he suggested he thought I was doing my whole project with the cash from the sale of my Tubby, including buying the SC VX in the first place

I left the miss's in the van ha

Few pics It will fit a standered car but you would have to fit a coupe rear or a raised rear boot .

How do you plan to test how effective it is?

Run car on dyno with it on and with it of and compare inlet temps ;-)

How much does it stick out the engine bay? Would a muncher raised boot (like Kieran's) do the job or would it need the hinged area to be adapted?

I would need to get hold of a muncher raised boot to see if it would work I think it would :-).

[ArticMonkey]

No worries. I'm looking forward to the test you do. Keep up the good work sir.

How are you going to plumb it in dude? 2nd cc system?

wouldn't bother with that, increase in CC temp is minimal so just plumb in series.

[leevx2.2]

Open to suggestions I was going to Y Split it from the existing cc system .

[Graeme Lambert]

Looks good Mr Lee, hope you just left it attached to that car?

Looking good mate.

I personally would not do that. Flowing fluids and gasses, like most things in nature, tend to want to take the path of least resistance, so unless both directions have equal resistance then the one with the higher resistance will likely be starved of flow. That is, unless the pump is pushing around so much flow that even the 'low resistance' path is still a significant enough restriction (resulting in a pressure rise) that the other path gets a good flow.

 

Coolers in series is guaranteed to get full flow through both of them. Some (K-thermocouple) temperature probes in the CC circuit path at various locations and in the air path at some spots should give a nice data gathering option on how much heat transfer is happening and where.

 

Bye, Arno.

Not even certain that the Harrop will fit with the raised boot lid... any idea who got the boot lid molds of ebay a few weeks ago? wonder if they could help here.

[siztenboots]

got to be a better way to package the boost charge to part of the engine bay with more space to work with. So the actual SC manifold adaptor would just a Z chamber to split the SC flow and the return. Probably with pipework on the gearbox side, or a coupe roof intercooler.
