just WOW cant wait to see this thing when its done!

will

 

I hope that IC flows better for you than the last one I saw.

 

not sure what you mean?

its a final version of our prototype we built from an ETS core.

we need two, so when i smash this one we have a spare

its 1300CFM should be plenty, especially at 150mph lol.... HKS' core isnt overly large, theirs works well.

The intercooler looks came out looking real nice! I can wait to see that thing hit the track!

 

I want a ride when it's done

 

Bigger than DriveLine Motoring? I'll believe it when I see it

 

Sick

 

I thought it was the full race vertical flow. I have seen it on a GT30 car and the thing couldnt cool worth a damn.

 

those are tube/fin PWR cores, we used one on a car before without great success (the horizontal flow)...

this is a bell core, rated to much higher CFM than needed, we can go up to another 1.5" thicker if we dont have the crash bar on...... there are a few ideas behind this...

first of all, at 100+ mph you dont need as much ic, we've seen this in the alms cars that are turbocharged.....there is a larger gap between the rad than stock... and a more efficient core, which is less blockage behind the fmic...

and, its being complete sealed at the front.... also, see those round holes that arent blocked by end tanks... man, they make nice brake ducts dont they

hee he.

Ahhh thanks for the clarification. Yah I was less than impressed and honestly for the price you would expect the little details to be there.

Always makes me happy to see the level of detail in your builds. I wish you guys were in cali ROFL.

 

Man I havent checked in on this thread in awhile. When I finish my car people are going to be like "you copied cbrd on that" and honestly I have no issue with that because your build is stunning and obviously well planned out. Its great to see someone not just bolting up high $$$ parts and seeing what works. Cant wait to see how it all turns out.

 

Loving the wiggins clamps too. Lots of attention to detail that other people would think is a waste of time.

 

well, our background has taught us that the more time you spend up front, the less time you spend at the track fixing things... which is why the car isnt done.

Plus, we keep getting more sponsors.... which makes the project more complicated but thorough.
