Yeah another distraction to getting my TII on the Road....
Volvo FMIC with piping from EBAY: 50.00 |
Side shot, notice how nicely it fits against the front support
|
A new filler panel/Shroud will be fabricated to close off openeing on each side. The stock AC fan will be utilized as a "pusher fan" controlled by IC temperature.
|
Another angle
|
:smirk: STEALTHY!!!!!!! :smirk:
|
where is the radiator gonna go?
mike |
About 4" behind the IC.
|
Looks cool man. Yea, I love the stealth look. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png
|
thats a nice ic :bigthumg: it looks like it will work well
mike |
Do you have to leave space in between or will it cool better if they are right next to each other..?
|
My thoughts are that it will cool better with a Gap between the FMIC and the radiator. I plan on some aditional ducting to bring air to the front od\f the rad bypassing the FMIC. Stay tuned to this BAT channel for for progress reports
|
as long as the air has to go thru both it should be fine

I've heard that intercooler doesnt flow very well, this guy did some flow tests on some IC's and the volvo was included:
http://pages.cthome.net/gus/intercoolers.html of course it's got alot of surface area so thats cool :bigok: thats the same guy with the crazy fast turbo minivan, i think he's dead now though? |
Remmeber FLOW is not everything. The VOLVO has one the highest heat rejection rating, more important than flow in my book. Also the cost vs, benefit analysis.
The NPR IC: at 329cfm and 290°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure drop is 0.09psi. The outlet temp is 130°F, heat rejected is 55553 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1404 square inches. Starion IC : (the bigger one) at 324cfm and 292°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure drop is 0.29psi. The outlet temp is 139°F, heat rejected is 52287 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1217 square inches. Saab 9000 IC: at 332cfm and 295°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure drop is 0.81psi. The outlet temp is 123°F, heat rejected is 60350 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1602 square inches. Volvo IC: at 331cfm and 293°F on the inlet side of the IC, the pressure drop is 0.55psi. The outlet temp is 126°F, heat rejected is 58809 BTU/hr, and the calculated heat exchange area is 1539 square inches. If all goes well with this set-up the next atep will be a custom IC in the same location |

do you know what velocity those #'s were taken at? sitting still or was there any air flowing through the IC? The efficiency of the IC will vary depending on if it is getting airflow or not, and how much...

Thats quite the IC you have there. :bigthumg:

A few pics of some of the modifications made to fit this thing exactly where I want it. . .

you can do the same sort of install on the big NPR i have..... is that volvo ic all metal end tanks? its alot of work but i would rather buy a greddy kit.....
|
If I had an EXTRA 900 I would get the greddy also, but I operate on this novel philosophy of buy what you can with the CASH in your pocket; not on how much is left on your credit card \;0

Nothing wrong with Bling-Bling, but CASH in pocket for 100 Octane Fule is nice too.
