September 25, 200520 yr Author tittey woooOOOOOp? tomorrow damnit. PLUS...you saw it 20 mins ago....slacker.
September 25, 200520 yr Get us some pix. Im getting a AWIC from a friend and will like to install it. I wanna see how you connected the turbo to the intlet. -Brian
September 25, 200520 yr pics would be dandy. so would some dyno results. cant wait to see your setup will.
September 25, 200520 yr looks cool.. Celica Alltrac Intercooler eh?? Seems i've got one of those attached to the car in the driveway. Curious why you mounted it like that. you've got a PILE of intake tubing there. If it was me..put the inlet at the back, and run the outlet straight in and down into the throttle body. The Inlet could then just snake up, around, and into the inlet side of the I/C.
September 26, 200520 yr Looks awesome but I think you will like the shifting performance better if you moved the BOV to the pipe that is mounted to the top of the throttlebody. (downstream of the intercooler) As is, the boosted air has to stop and turn around in your intercooler and head the other way when the BOV opens, then go back towards the throttlebody when the throttle opens up again. I did testing on this with my setup and it made a noticable difference. kick rump roast
September 26, 200520 yr correct. the BOV/BPV valve placement is best when right next to the Throttle body. leads to much better throttle response
September 26, 200520 yr Author well...i realize all that....BUT..that DSM pipe was a perfect fit right there, so im not going to change it until i find real time to fab up proper piping and such. Verision 2 will likely feature one of these cores: Or a Spearco or PWR WRX-STi AWIC core...*IF* i can find the spearco one used again on ebay...otherwise the PWR is going to cost some serious $$$$ oddcomp.....what?
September 26, 200520 yr it looks like your engine bay got in one of those fear factor dares that involve a glass box and a bunch of snakes
September 26, 200520 yr Sooo.... Hey where you do you get that black mesh stuff? Does it work well? Also, oddcomppp.... are what you are seeing... does it have to do with fueling? peace
September 28, 200520 yr Author its mistsubishi EVO IC hose. Its not the greatest, but its OE so its designed to last. Works ok for my stuff right now. 20+ PSI=NO on that stuff tho. and HOLY crap does it pull on the interstate. dyno'd it... not a single HP gain. ALL TQ! 30 TQ gain. will post graph tomorrow.
September 28, 200520 yr hey wjm i am running diesel sillicone radiator hose on my setup its like a dollar per inch tho or something like that and i am pretty sure it will hold 20+psi after all how much psi do you suppose a kenworth's cooling system develops ??
September 30, 200520 yr its mistsubishi EVO IC hose. Its not the greatest, but its OE so its designed to last. Works ok for my stuff right now. 20+ PSI=NO on that stuff tho. and HOLY crap does it pull on the interstate. dyno'd it... not a single HP gain. ALL TQ! 30 TQ gain. will post graph tomorrow. Very Very interesting Will. I would not be surprised if that gain is on the low end. I'll take a stab and say it is just before and just after 3000rpm. Am I right? **Crossing Fingers*** Oh yeah, I got the version 2 you want in my garage. I took this pic last week. Muhahahaha! Now where are those Dyno charts damn it! I hate waiting for those things. I'm a dyno chart junkie.
