Just because they make it doesn't mean it is correct for proper airflow. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 11:34:50 (814 views)

I know. Didn't mean to infer one or the other was correct/better. Just showing what other folks - BSOD 2003-05-07 11:45:40 (602 views)

How about this information: - Audi_80 2003-05-07 11:45:05 (1082 views)

That's a great site, no doubt! - Audi_80 2003-05-07 19:35:47 (580 views)

woah! - Steve Trac 2003-05-07 11:33:01 (1358 views)

No that 350Z is a large cross between the 2 discussed designs - Milpitas2.7T 2003-05-07 11:31:34 (708 views)

that's what i meant, longer horizontal air flow, but 3 end tanks (two into one) - BSOD 2003-05-07 11:43:33 (583 views)

A full FAQ answering all of these questions will be posted tonight. - Josh@Achtuning.com 2003-05-07 10:59:44 (984 views)

Did this get posted? I STFA and don't see it. - Dan Calle 2003-05-08 12:38:53 (595 views)

It is not finished yet... - Josh@Achtuning.com 2003-05-08 14:22:01 (642 views)

Don't hold your breath. The Erics have been sitting on this for god knows how long. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-08 12:43:09 (599 views)

Hmmm Maximum Boost by corky bell, published in 1997, always wanted to know what life is like in 2007 - chisilvertip 2003-05-07 12:56:40 (1447 views)

Well, for one thing, there seems to have been great strides made in the physics field. - Not a Benz or a TT 2003-05-07 13:17:42 (654 views)

Awesome, Josh. Thanks. - AUJ 2003-05-07 11:29:11 (587 views)

Josh please don't take this as a personal attack but I am not just quoting a 10 yr old book - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 11:09:30 (798 views)

Cool - I look forward to it man. - Singletrack 2003-05-07 11:02:47 (513 views)

You have a lot of knowledge on this subject man, why not design and sell one yourself? - Joshua (wishbone) 2003-05-07 10:54:52 (594 views)

Makes sense to me - thanks for the diagrams dude. - Singletrack 2003-05-07 10:33:36 (528 views)

#2 would be better if the cold end tank exit was in the middle. probably not s4 comaptible though. - ModifiedA4 2003-05-07 10:32:38 (640 views)

as long as the endtanks are designed properly to promote flow - S4togooo-Chaotic S4 2003-05-07 12:42:23 (515 views)

Well im thinking since the path lengths are different for each turbo... - ModifiedA4 2003-05-07 17:27:45 (582 views)

Granted it was not drawn to scale but - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 10:43:30 (1101 views)

Unless you punch a hole through the radiator I can't see how that would fit an S4. - Andy Hedin 2003-05-07 10:39:39 (1062 views)

Interesting, the other one "appears" to have more Core area then this one. - Milpitas2.7T 2003-05-07 11:04:07 (497 views)

I can see from the pics you could do it, the tank would have a center exit... - ModifiedA4 2003-05-07 10:54:16 (593 views)

Can you compare specs from your FMIC vs. the water cooled AWE duals? - dscottjr 2003-05-07 10:09:07 (699 views)

Blitz -- My car is at AWE and will be for a couple days .... - Markcore 2003-05-07 09:49:10 (704 views)

I can't install it there. I do still have it though. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:53:44 (557 views)

How about when I pick up the car, we go in the parking lot... - Markcore 2003-05-07 09:57:16 (704 views)

i will be drinking vp 103 sir :) - Roughedgez 2003-05-07 10:55:34 (454 views)

drinking? I thought you had the hard line inserted for direct injection! - Milpitas2.7T 2003-05-07 13:26:41 (458 views)

Well the fan install by any means is not a quick switch. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:58:59 (475 views)

But, since the air is passing through SHORTER charge rows it effectively has time to cool down... - Santorin1 2003-05-07 09:46:37 (768 views)

slower, shorter run is better than faster, longer run - nyet|R.I.P.ToyGuy 2003-05-07 11:15:49 (746 views)

Sorry to say but you are WAYYYYY wrong. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 11:19:58 (532 views)

educate, i know nothing of ICs :) - nyet|R.I.P.ToyGuy 2003-05-07 11:26:17 (526 views)

Incorrect. I will let Mr.Bell explain it - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:52:49 (1058 views)

Yes, but in the original picture the two ICs being compared are the same size in surface area.. - Santorin1 2003-05-07 10:10:14 (593 views)

The less your turbos have to work to make X boost @ the intake manifold the lower the AIT - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 10:46:47 (690 views)

bigger isn't always better. - S4togooo-Chaotic S4 2003-05-07 10:28:39 (476 views)

Nah, that's just what she told you. - Not a Benz or a TT 2003-05-07 10:29:32 (550 views)

I am waiting for these DB fixes to run on this backup server 8^( - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:43:39 (471 views)

I don't think the general S4 population cares as long as it is making the extra hp claimed. - Chaka 2003-05-07 09:37:47 (580 views)

Dudes - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 12:01:26 (571 views)

They should care, expensive stuff, sometimes realworld results are more important than #'s! - Audi_80 2003-05-07 09:53:29 (603 views)

They should care. Once again folks need to relize what it is that they truely want. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:42:06 (685 views)

maybe they should, but most don't - Chaka 2003-05-07 09:55:07 (541 views)

Only because there is an even better product on the horizon. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:56:40 (551 views)

I'm no engineer, but more short rows comment makes sense to me - MichaelTM 2003-05-07 09:26:03 (453 views)

you need to pursue art professionally - MichaelTM 2003-05-07 09:22:26 (498 views)

Give the man a cigar. Say what you want about Neon's but this man knows his poop. - Zaphod//TMK:Indukted 2003-05-07 09:21:46 (786 views)

Hey squerrel lay off the nuts and corn, it doesn't digest very well. - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:36:02 (1029 views)

how long did that take you to draw? :) - Steve Trac 2003-05-07 09:18:10 (561 views)

So the "bad" FMIC in your diagram is whose FMIC? - Andy Hedin 2003-05-07 09:13:50 (792 views)

You get 3 guesses and the other 2 don't count - BliTzkrieg Bone Stok 2003-05-07 09:17:24 (558 views)
