That looks the goods man... I was wondering about the heat with them covered....

what's the deal with oil/water lines etc... any pressure drop due to the length?

[Miguelone]

Does it dose?

[Birds]

I'm no expert on the physics of flow and pressure, but I would think that regardless of length (to an extent), once a tube has been filled with air or fluid, then changes in pressure should be near instantaneous at either end?

Alvin?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah, sorry... I was just referring to startup etc... should have worded it better

Alvin?

Think of it this way..do you want air pockets in your brake lines?

some fluids are very im-compressible so yes the pressure change would be near instant.

something more compressible ie air, it's going to take more to impact it, your going to have to change the pressure of a much greater volume so I would expect lag to increase.

plus same goes with zorst gases getting to turbo they have to travel more distance.

[Birds]

But in having more distance to travel there is also restriction too, so whatever detriment it gives to spooling the turbo, it could help with the engine building up RPM too?

[Sunkist]

I'm just keen to see it getting tuned. If a weekday I'm taking a sicky

[Rekin]

It is external gate...

As the turbo is 4-5M back from the engine it shouldn't get too hot, there will be a heat shield over it all, and hopefully carpet back over the lot. I have to test it with an infra-red thermometer on the dyno first.

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy.

That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area.

Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

[Sunkist]

He is doing that eventually I think

[bluejeans]

Does it dose?

If it doesn't its pointless.

Would not take to prinny.

[xALmoN]

Yeah can just email or phone my work number if you need instant response

Pulled over or they just see you just drive past?

one of those stealth ones.

i'd say there should be a little lag with regards to spool but, nothing serious. 4-5m isn't that long. As air is a compressible fluid, at even at scotty's 45psi, that just resolves to 3bar, which does nothing for compressibility, so there will still be an effect, though, pipe length is a lot less of a factor than a restriction.

But theoretical vs physical, i still think scotty should give it a try.

[scotty nm35]

Don't worry, I will be.

The turbo won't be laggy, the engine should have the .82 rear GT35 pushing 20psi by around 2.5k, but it may not be as responsive as it would be hanging off the manifold...

The piping up and back is 2.5 inch so not too much area to fill.

[Birds]

If you put your hand near a tail pipe as someone starts a car, you can feel how quickly gases travel to the back and that's not even under load

[kaitoukid]

I managed a 6 day weekend one semester - was a very full wednesday though

LOL, the sacrifices made for maximum days off...

[kaitoukid]

looks like gyme tonight is chest day with no spotter :'(

[UNR33L]

tactical day off for me, need to find stuff for dat dere tax

[kaitoukid]

Haha, days off important too . What is not good is when you take days off, and then unexpected events mean you can't go on days you were planning to go !

Also gotta figure out if it is indeed just my bulb that has burnt out in my headlight... if it is... china bulbs off ebay, $10... phillips like $67+ ... DECISIONS... Not sure if trust quality (+ shipping time probably like 2 weeks+) ... but then dat money =[

[UNR33L]

This guy answers your question if you have a funeral on Monday but don't want to miss chest day

[Down_Shift]

Poor doggy
