Cooling

[265kw at the wheels holmes]

hey guys

i've got an r33 II that is worked. pistion, rods etc.

its got a hybrid fmic and a greedy plenum with a trust pod

just wanted to get some ideas on how to keep the entire intake system as cool as possible.

thanks

by level of importance

-make sure the pod filter is totally contained and separated from the air in the engine bay. then route an air feed from the very front of the car to the contained 'air box'.

-wrap the intake/intercooler piping in heat insulating 'bandage'.

getting silly now

-wrap the exhaust manifold and dump pipe in heat insulating bandage to further reduce the air temps (and where that temp can go) in the engine bay

-set up a water spray for your intercooler to provide evaporative cooling of the intercooler

All the above and get yourself one of these.

After prolonged running on the track with heat every where I can put my hand on the intake manifold. It definitely help in keeping intake temps down.
