Brian, with all due respect, I appear to be the only one of us 3, who has actually designed and built his own >800HP L/A intercooled engine.
I am well aware of what it takes to get it done.

All the more reason to have some hard evidence mate.

You can say anything you like... just like I can doubt your results. Where does that get anyone?

1. You have it and don't want to share. (Then don't comment)
2. You DON'T have it and can't share. (See above)

well, according to my dyno graph... i don't see any top end problems. i'll see soon enough how much whp it's capable of when i turn up the boost.

 

If that IC works effectively @ ~800HP - All other L/A heat exchanger designs are already obsolete.

I honestly hope it works for you and I guarantee you that I will also be running one if it proves to be effective / efficient in that power range.

JDB... keep in mind the application. Depends on how long he wants to make that power and what his source is for liquid cooling and the flow for/of that cooling.

A drag car or dyno queen would have significantly reduced requirements than a road race car or Land Speed Record car which runs WOT for 3+ minutes. You should see the faces on the 1/4 mile boys when the Bonneville motor is held at full throttle for several minutes on the dyno... they just don't get it!

Brian, I agree with what you are saying, but what I really question is that IC's ability to flow the required ~70 Lb. per minute of air and cool it the typical ~250*F.

I don't care if he uses a "glacier filled ocean" as the cooling medium.

JDB

 

Agreed.

 

Fair enough... that is easy to calculate... EFI what are the dimensions?

i'm out of town this weekend, heading out to buttonwillow. i'll measure the core when i get back. i'll also post some datalogs of the air temp when i was on the dyno. also, fyi... that dyno chart was made with room temp water. no ice at all. i drove the car 70 miles to the dyno... sat in traffic... pulled the car on the dyno, and after about 17 pulls (tuning motec by scratch) it made those numbers. from what i remember the air temp was pretty low considering there was no ice.
