oh yea... lol my bad.

Very Nice !!

Very Nice !!

y thank u.

how much cfm does this setup flow? i was looking into something like this previously but went for a cheap fmic setup, but the fmic is small and i would go to a bigger one but i don't want the lag effects.

450 cfm but its the smallest core they have, they have larger ones.

Looks good.

crazy plumbing! i believe you when you said the throttle reponse is instant! did you take pics of just the air-to-water cooler before it was installed?

 

[terbow]

no but i can when i polish it if u like

They look like Robotic Welds.......i mean damn, look at them! There beautiful.

maybe turbonetics is run by robots?

Who did the plumbing? It looks great.

Would a kit be available in the future?

This will be awesome for extreme HP applications but I must say that I'm a bit scared with how heavy this will end up being.

1.5 Gal of water etc...

I am impressed and agree that your intake plumbing is totally direct.

Must hit and spool up quick.

Have you calculated your pressure drop? There are only two drawbacks from this type.

1. Weight
2. Pressure Drop.

The Pros that you are getting are very positive. It is almost impossible to heat soak unless your front exchanger is too small or if the pump fails.

Luckly all the weight is on the front tires.

that looks crazy man, good job!(first) how much all that cost u? if u dont mind me askin...instant throttle response...aaahh..i wish...

i did it. i had it welded tho cause i cant tig weld.

edit: except the air intake, thats jsut an aluminum copy of the mam sri. so no homework/cutting had to be done to that.

i agree, its heavy but for what i do with the car i think its the best solution for me. plus i like to be different.i dont know how to calculate pressure drop but on the spearcos site it says its .15psi @ 30psi (seems like a high psi but it says its performance data is at 30psi so i dunno).

y thank u.

the ic assembly was 479.00, the pump was 129.00, the heat exchanger was 179.00 (its on the small side, but will suffice), the tubing and fittings ill have to tally later as i havent got the tank done. silicone for intake and ic was like 160.00, alum bends were like 70.00

ive actually been asked this by quite a few people. to be honest im not sure. i cant tig weld, so id have to outsource it, im not a vendor so id have to pay retail for everything, so, i guess not lol

Just thought id show everyone what im workin on.

for those that are unfamiliar with air to water IC's, instead of being in the front air dam or wherever, being cooled by passing air, these babys run coolant/water through them to remove the heat. since water can remove heat 3 times better than air, they can be very efficient (of course theres cons).

If i iced up the water tank, and ran water i can actually get below ambient temps (which air/air cant do).

The reason i did this was cause im not goin for gobs of power, i prefer an all around car with great throttle response. Due to the extreme short piping i ran, the throttle response is nuts. If i step on the gas it goes, and does it fastly. I havent dynoed it yet since im still working on it (need a water tank so it doesnt heat soak). but once im done ill dyno it, i bet my upfront torque curve is gonna be nuts.

more pics to follow.

Slick setup T. I like it!(omg)

B E A utiful! Nice work. I think the fact that no one else has one makes it even more amazing.

 

[terbow]

thanks again both of you.
