I wonder how well it will work, it has a small surface area...

 

better than stock though right?

 

i agree........ im sure it will be better than stock

 

The stock TMIC has roughly a 8"x8" surface area(i'm doing this off a picture in my mind, so its probably off a lil)...being that his IC i 25"x6" I would imagine it has more surface area than a stocker...



also, being that it is mounted up front, it will be more efficient. However, at close to stock boost levels, say 10psi, the extra piping from the FMIC will cause some lag, but by the sound of his water injection or CO2 spray he sounds like he wants some big PSI numbers?...should be interesting, let us know how it fans out...





BTW, i'm going w/ a water injection and N-Ter cooler system w/ CO2 as well

 

Those c02 cooler things should work, atleast in my mind.



While putting on the c02 tank to my paintball gun i forgot it shredded an o-ring and didnt have one on, c02 sprayed out and formed ice on my hand and some frostbite, burned like a **** for a while.

 

Yeah...my bro-in-law and I were going to invent something like that about 3 years ago when he mentioned how cold certain bottled gasses vent. If I had, I'd probably be wealthy by now. Well, probably not, but whatever.

 

its on the new lightening, cold charged intake that is. they use the AC compressor to charge a small tank of R134, and vent it through a cooling fin (radiator). the intake is drawn over that cooling fin, giving something like 50 seconds of icy cold intake before the supercharger.

 

My buddy and I were running a co2 fogger on the Supra side mount in in 1g DSM in '94. They work great, but even a 20oz bottle has it's limitations. I wouldn't want to rely on it to keep me from pinging. We just used it with a pressure switch to fog the IC when boost past the 1.75bar level.



His core doesn't seem to be all that small, just rather thick. so the further back the air passes, the less efficient it will be. As long as you keep your plumbing to a realistic diameter, he shouldn't have too much more lag.

 

Right now I'm only doing like 10-15 psi... ******* boost creep. I want to rebuild the turbo and have a different compressor put on it. At that point I want to boost like 16 psi or so. My dad is doing a project where he is designing a boost controller so hopefully we can make one for the seven also.



According to my simple calculations. My new itercooler has a little over 2 times the surface area of the stock. That is if the cores were the same shape. The core is a little different so these aren't truly correct. Is it 2 times better or more or less? I'll find out soon.



Quick question. What size piping do you guys recommend? The IC has 2.5" inlet & outlet, and the turbo is like 2.something" and the intake is like 1.75" I was thinking I should just use 2.5" all the way to make it easier but would that cause too much lag?



Thanks

 

I might be attempting this real soon, I got some cores from gregW and my dad has a tig welder, just need to buy some U bends/straights...
