duuuuuh...geeez it's early i am hung over... sorry for the mistake
and thanks for the link, andrew

ceedee

their link has server problems... geeeee not my day
do they sell a 16v option?

Bill Ball

For 16V, no. For that, go with 928motorsports.com.

One is in the works, but DR said he won't announce it until everything is ready for sale. He learned that drinking from a fire-hose isn't fun. He doesn't want to drink from 2 at the same time and I don't blame him.

ceedee

i can wait for that... is there any talk about how much money it will be?
makes perfect sense to me...lol

AO

Couldn't say for sure, but I'd guess somewhere north of $5k, but that's just a guess. Maybe he's figured a way to bring the cost down for 16v'ers, but maybe not.

andrew, to me the twin screw looks cool. but, can you hint me more about what the benefit is? i mean compared to the one the other supplier sells

AO

PMing you as to not start another CS vs. TS vs. Turbo thread.

ceedee

that's very considerate of you. i should have PM'ed you to begin with.
turbo thread and all

Hi,
I'm working on a twin screw installation of Andy's kits that's already on a car to clean it up and improve where I can. One of the first things I saw was the heat exchanger that sits in front of the radiator. I think it is the wrong style of heat exchanger for that use. Undoubtedly it works fine in the forced air flow heater core for which it is designed. The core is too tight for good air flow through with low pressure drop. It blocks the A/C condenser and the engine radiator behind it. I could help it with tight air ducting around it and sealing behind it to the A/C condenser so air can't simply bypass around it. Another solution would be to add a fan to force air through it as it was designed to be used. Instead of adding more stuff like a fan, I'd rather go to a larger, and more open, heat exchanger. Has anyone researched this and found a better style heat exchanger?

I will try and get some pics from Rob of my set-up. I bought a heat exchanger off eBay that is basically a cut down radiator; it is mounted above the front spoiler and looks OEM. There is also a fabrcated resevoir so I still have windshield washers.

Rick,

Please post pics

Louie,

I'll try to snap a few of how we installed mine, I'm not sure if it's the same but it came with my kit

Louie,

I haven't installed my system yet, just compiling data for the last two years and planning a perfect install, no hurry. Tony had a slick idea to mount the intercooler radiator unit before or aft of the wheel in the wheel well area, then cut vents in the liner and use aluminum mesh over it to keep rocks from damaging the exchanger. I like the idea and I will go that route. We both have aviation engineering backgrounds so maybe we just are thinking similarly from education.

I think a few people routed their air cleaner into the area under the headlight recess area, just below it. It looks cleaner and draws cooler air there. I am open to tinkering around with obtaining some plastic / metal tubing parts in the qwest to make a ram air intake too, but I may go with an offshoot duct from the brake ducts to keep the engine compartment less cluttered.

Louie-

Here's the setup DR is using. Looks to be 2 motorcycle radiators. I don't care much for the placement. I plan on moving them up front a bit as I think the condensor is actually heating up the heat exchangers. Unfortunately I won't be able to report on the effect until later this spring.

Louie928

These look like the same heat exchangers that are on the car I'm working on. Except it has only one. The advantage of having them up against the A/C condensor is that cool air drawn in by the fan behind has to go through the heat exchangers. With the core as tight as it is, and if they were sitting in free air ahead of the condenser, very little air would flow through them.
