We are talking about exactly how we will uput the kit out there. For me the Radiator was something that Wael ask me to source. I tooked at a few of them, the C&R was a design that I liked. The fan pass a ton of air. Both Rick and James have Koyo's on their cars. It looks like the Koyo is the best bang for the buck (IMHO) as it has GB'ed for about 360.

As for the short jog tube, I really don't know. I stil have my stock rad and I have a new hose I was going to swap in when I changed my T-Stat/Fan switch. I would have to measure.

I ran some with a PCM installed. The intake temp from ODBII was at 79% during the run (I live in Houston, TX) and it was hot outside, so I think the intercooler is working great. And this was after a 45min drive to the shop.

The air to water/air to air was Wael's call. I would have been happy with either, but remember we are not after all turbo buyers. We want to deliver a "Driveable" design, not a max power design. Wael feels that this is the way to get to that goal.

 

Stratocaster, I don't recall from out previous conversation if you are using stock fans, Are you?

 

I got these questions via PM. I thought I would post them too.

Stock Fans? No, the C&R come with a hi-flow fan.
Max boost? I will have to check with Elda, My boost gauge goes in in the morning.
What is the downpipe diameter? 3"
What kind of exhaust are you running? MagnaFlow Dual Rear Exit, 5x8x14" SS mufflers 4x4x11" SS resonator with 2.5" SS tubing 3.5" straight/SS tips Here is a pic (drawing)

 

Wow, It finally happened.....Too bad for me I already sold my S. Show me a dyno plot that makes me want to buy another one,,, pleeeease.

 

Does anyone have a picture of the exhaust manifold for this set up? was curious to understand how the exhaust is routed to the turbo and how the turbo is located. Looks like it is set off a fair way from the manifold collectors and would create a bit of stress on the piping as the weight of the turbo is so far out. It could be located on a bracket but I can't tell from the pitcures. I wonder if stratocaster can comment if there is is any odd harmonics or vibrations with this systems.

Also, what options are available for connecting to the exhuast? Can it connect up to the stock rear section without cutting or welding or is a custom system or adaptor required. I am seriously interesting in this kit but having a RHD, would need to verify it works for RHD, hence the interest in understanding the exhaust piping and how its routed in and around where the RHD steering shaft is.

Some other kits developed on LHD cars also have issues with IC piping routing for RHD. I can't see that would be a problem with the air/water set up though.

Keep the info coming, looking forward to a dyno sheet.

 

9000+ I highly doubt it will fit RHD. There is a steering shaft right where the runners and return go.

As for the statement about other kits having problems with IC piping, that may be so but is not a certainty. I chose to do my own IC piping and IC because there was no advantage to getting that from the US.

 

...How does the car drive stratocaster?

How much boost is it set at? Will this kit be able to be upgraded through elda engineering in the future (Using the turbo provided in the kit) to make more power?

 

Where are more pics?

What do you want to see?

How about "close-ups" of the turbo manifold and the intercooler? Any support brackets?
