excellent suggestion for controlled conditions

Stupid question here I'm sure. But what about doing a vortex muffler style on the exit side of the smic. Creating a vortex or lower pressure that accelerates the air flow. Is that possible. Would that make a difference on efficiency.

When are you taking orders for these again?

[oohnoo]

Not taking orders till I finish the first set and have Ray test them which I"m sure won't be an issue at all. Once I finish my first set I'll make my jigs for repeatability.

Got to get more seat time welding the end caps and I'll be able to do a double pass in a reasonable amount of time.
Just came back from Rays and was able to semi test fit the one core I made on a 1st Gen to see how they are. Tight on the passenger side but I'm pretty sure I can make it work, drivers side no issues at all, plenty of clearance. If I were to use a shorter 6" core instead of the 8" core there would be no issue at all. Might make this an option as it would use the same end caps I have. 4.5" x 6" x 8.1" - 701cfm

In theory how much HP can 701cfm manage? I know this is worded horribly because intercoolers do not produce HP, I just didn't know how else to word it...Sorry.

701 cfm is roughly 48 lb/min at ~120°F. So that should be close to 480 HP per intercooler.

Works for me.

I wouldn't spend the added time welding the inside, just run a little hotter- I would set up a plug for the inlet hole & purge them with argon, then they will fuse better on the inside. They look to be about .100"?

[oohnoo]

Mmmm good idea. I even have a separate Argon tank just for back purging.

Given temperature of outlet air of the turbos, isn't 120 a bit low of an estimate for the air and therefore the HP? still be more than sufficient for 95% of owners though.
