Some great info in this thread, but i dont want a plug and play kit from someone, id rather figure it out myself and learn somin:beer;, its time to learn more as this is my first turbo sled and i enjoy working on my toys myself....or all my toys will go to Powerhouse when my work wont allow any tool time in the shop
When you compress air it heats up. sometimes alot more than you'd think. I'm sure someone around here knows how much it heats up
Im sure i have an ideaer
:beer;....in my small mind, its best i measure input and output temps vs. looking at some chart the turbo Manufacture has, i want to know real world numbers not what a cubicle engineer dreamed up.....thats why i work in the feild not a office and lick stamps or whatever the bootlicker engineers do
:beer;
Hatchers,
I've got a spail fan that we have used on M8's and M1000's it fits under the intercooler and draws the air thru the intercooler or you can push the air up and put a vent in the bulkhead right under the cooler. You can come by and take a look at the fans anytime. I 'll try to post a pic. Now after all that, I still think there is a power problem running any of the fans on a 2-stroke espescially if you have put a higher output fuel pump in the sled which I believe you have. All of the fans we have tested have caused the fuel pressure to misbehave. Maybe OVS has found the right fan but I haven't seen it yet. Good luck and call me if you want to look at the fan. Matt.
bought Travis's M8 that i thought you guys put together. I have a few electronic parts in the shop and a bread board, ill figure something out. All i need to do is induce more current with a inductor or loop it with a cap. I'll start with measureing overall current load and current drops and voltage drops when the throttle flipper is pushed in and out. You guys open on friday? Are you the guy that Matt said he did a camo wrap for, the fella with Summit Signs, i ride with him the most of anyone....but he dont do anything in the summer, the wife has his little arse on lock down
if your gonna turbo and take your lights out, might as well just make a mesh hood, that should allow you plenty of cold air to work with
im a tree hugger that cant get plastics to last a single season, or bumpers, or tracks...ect
