I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

but would half the flow area simon ?

Robert makes a good point.

Twice the flow path length but at the expense of much higher pressure loss due to twice the velocity.

I've got pressure tappings and temperature sensors each side of the intercooler. Let's see if these cheap intercoolers are as bad as we are lead to believe first.

I guess if yo could get rid of that long feed pipe you could get a much taller cooler giving you back the area plus the fact it would be better cooled compared to just a pipe.

I'm no one to talk as my piping is miles long, but I was always led to believe less piping is better and your turbo location looks perfect for a short direct feed to the cooler if possible.

The long pipe should not be a problem as we have launch control, flat shift, traction control and anti-lag if we need it :)

The throttle might as well be a switch in an acceleration contest.

It moves

Had a couple of major issues to overcome, dodgy starter and lack of clutch, but have managed to get it sorted.

Just need to add a handbrake system (no quadrants or guides :( ), make some tank straps and fit a harness.

The plan is to get it from one end of the strip to the other at MitP and we will be happy.

All dressed up and ready for an outing :)

Great stuff Paul

It looks like its been punched in the mouth, I like it..

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

That looks mean!

It does look very angry. I like it.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Bugger, NMS have just cancelled the dyno session booked for tomorrow. No MitP 2011 for this car

map it on the strip.

yes ,safe ignition map and low boost data logging.

Could try RGS see if they have any time tomorrow?

I could try RGS but I want to stay with NMS for consistancy (and believable numbers).

I'm waiting for a call back to re-schedule.

Too many unknowns with the chassis to setup on the strip.

I was only suggesting using RGS's dyno as a tuning/mapping tool to get you on the strip.

The DD dyno's may not measure actual transmission losses (they use 21.4% losses as a standard) but have an excellent reputation as a tuning tool.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

if your setting up it doesnt matter for the moment if it measures 17 million bhp , you can still measure 17 million and one and know youv made a change for the better.

I agree, since the real purose of the dyno is as a tuning tool and changes can be quantified for better or worse.

Don't forget the det cans though!

I rang RGS, the reply:

"our dyno arrives tomorrow, it's not actually in the country as yet"

PMSL!!

sorry but that made me chuckle.

Got the call back from NMS, apparently they have had a bearing failure. It was scheduled for repair on Saturday, but it has got too bad and they are getting it sorted now.

Good news is that it should be sorted for Saturday and we can do it then :) They will confirm sometime tomorrow.
