smoke Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm old and don't care if an engine looked like a wet turd sandwich as long as it cranked. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Very nice! I can't wait to see the finished product. are you gonna bring the prototype by the shop for a test fit? I am. Gotta order a 12' length of 6061. It's less to get a length than to buy a cut of material for a set. So I'm waiting for another R-180 sale to buy material. Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Your gonna hog all that out of billet? (the coil cover part) Not that much to hog. That's just unfinished representation of the cover. It's only 2" thick and doesn't show the webbing Quote Link to comment

housew Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 whats the point of the extra 360 degrees of bends? turbos too efficient that the needed head loss? they have something that slides in there to cook hotdogs while they drive? I can't see any packaging, thermodynamic, or esthetic reasons to do that, what am i missing? 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe its going to be in a mid engine car with a full tube chassis that they build around the motor and something goes thru them? Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm going to take a wild guess and say that they 'think' it might work to cool the charge a little. BUT, since it's a draw though system (also see kinda lame) the less bends the better. On this, since the carbs are actually lower than the intake, they are going to get some "puddling" no matter what they did with the pipe. In other words, at low rpm, just driving around, little fuel droplets form inside the tubes from the fuel coming out of suspension. Then when they gas it and build boost, it will push all those fuel droplets into the engine and go really fat until it burns it all. It will clean up pretty quick, but not before it smokes like an old jimmy pulling a load. Quote Link to comment
housew Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 yea, just doesn't do it for me. I'm guess im just not into senseless turbo tubing flathead porn, not really a big deal. Plenty of other stuff to look at :P 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Not everything needs a turbo, plus you get more points for going just as fast without one. (^says this while planning turbo system..............) 1 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 yeah, that won't happen with one done right though, but...I'm thinking you know that. Quote Link to comment
