Re: Turk's welding
What we haven't talked about was How tight that thing was going in... seriously... we're talking 1/4 of an inch play... bar to Bar...
Freiburger gave me the demensions and said he'd measured it exactly.... he wasn't kidding... wow... seriously it was VERY close to being smooshed a bit to fit in the car... but when it was leveled it fit perfectly.
Oh and neither one of us knew the size of the block ice they sell in Wendover NV.... so we swag'ed it and hit it Perfectly... a block had 1/4" clearance on the sides before it touched...

Hey anyone who does not just hire it done is ok with me, Its the flaws and it still works are where the greatest storys come from.2007 SBN/A Drag Week Winner & First only SBN/A Car in the 9's Till 2012

Re: Turk's welding
HAHA purplecobra beat me to the pump part. a holley blue doesn't work a long time with water FYI or was it a holley black?
anyways, after observing the efficiency of the intercooler on that particular setup, we could have done just fine with a thimble for a reservoir. There was a dual pump system on it, flowing fine, and there was still ice in the cooler after a pass. WTF? intercoolers I am used to, will boil 20 gallons of water in an 8-second pass on the drag strip!www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!Comment

Re: Turk's welding
probably has something to do with only making 11 psi boost? big difference....

Re: Turk's welding
When we had it just right we had 5 10lb blocks of ice and all that was left after a pass would normally not fill my cup for a soda pop...
Your dealing with tanks that are WAY to small... LOL or pumps that actually work...

Keith, I think I'm dealing with intercoolers that are WAY more efficient. I think your version 2.0 dual pump setup was pumping fine...
Best I ever saw, Jon Mihovetz' cougar (2000+hp modular ford). At the time it was something like 15 gallons of coolant for the air-water intercoolers. He had pressure reliefs on the system because, when finished, the ice water was literally boiling. He'd dump it on the ground and have to warn people not to stand near the puddle.... from block ice to boiling in 7 seconds - now THAT is thermal efficiency.
Hubers run about 10 gal of coolant, single Precision intercooler, theirs runs a little cooler than the Mihovetz setup but it's still too hot to put your hand in after a trio of true street passes.
Jim - I don't know anything about roots-style intercoolers, do you think the low boost contributed to what we observed there? The water in the HRM camaro setup was still ice cold, with a bit of ice leftover. From what I observed, the pumps were moving a lot of fluid. It just wasn't heating up - I would have thought just the heat from the engine soaking into the intercooler, would do more than that. the guys spent a good deal of time making sure they had a good pump setup, ice, a strainer etc. I don't think the ice was clogging the flow during the runs... was definitely a mystery for me.www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!Comment

Re: Turk's welding
Temperature increase is sort of proportional to pressure increase when you compress a gas (air in this case), so I would expect to see a huge difference in temperature between a system that makes 11 psi boost and one that makes 20 or 30 or so.

Re: Turk's welding
that makes a lot of sense to me, the systems I am talking about are 35-40psi and beyond. Hubers car runs 40psi.
Just looking at the design of the roots style intercooler though, seemed to me like the air passing through it didn't spend as much time in the intercooler (short path) as a typical air-water setup on a centrifugal or turbo setup.

Re: Turk's welding

Re: Turk's welding
Well considering last time I saw keith weld there was a diet coke in one hand, I think it may be twice as good with two hands, still not saying much, I've seen those welds.Comment

Re: Turk's welding
actually the welding on it wasn't "That" bad... course it wasn't what any here would consider "pretty or that Good"... in other words you most likely would have refused to pay a professional to do that quality of work... But most of you would have been at least happy that it didn't leak... I trusted it so much I never even tested it... cause I knew it wouldn't leak...
Fun part is y'all got to tease me about it... and I've seen Several of your guys welding... Green Junk need to show you pictures of the headers he put together... yeah... Someone has pictures of that engine bay as a whole... WOW...
