"Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but that is not a real FD engine swap, if I am seeing correctly there is a crank angle sensor on it which the FD did not have."


thank you slpin!

peace

 

wow thats a fancy plane. with a wing like that

the wheels suck
the wing sucks
and i hate flames..
guess i just dont like it..

just my .02

 

meh, I like the splitters but that's about it.

 

Wow... the 13b-rew swap is impressive; I'd heard it was impossible, or at least unfeasible.

The question, though, is why someone went to all the trouble to do that swap, only to attach a mushroom-head style filter in such a godawful location to suck hot air?

 

Latest news says it's not a REW.

 

Either way it's not impossible swap a FD motor into an FC. Seen it already folks

 

Of course it's possible, just not practical.

 

no, practical is not the right word either. It's not COST EFFECTIVE. Kudos on a finished car but :shrug:

 

+1 - not to mention IT'S NOT AN REW!!!! It's an S6 UIM - even less impressive. I think the only way for that car to be impressive would be the SGMW

(Sunroof Gimbal Mount Wing) Other wise like Phoenix said - lame

 

Upon first glance, my initial thought was, wheres the other turbo? Then got to looking, and sure enough, thats an FC block.

 

thats an amazing car

 

I'm gonna have to agree with TitaniumTT on this one. You will see no noticable effects of downforce at even 60-70mph, especially sideways. The wing is completely unnecessary.

 

If I had a car that looked like that... I'd strip the body of all it's fancy moldings, sell them on ebay with the wheels and the wing, get some better wheels with the money from the others, go back to stock body moldings, paint it black, and be glad my car didn't look gay.

...Nice engine though...

 

"Hyper" black?!

A V-mount doesn't need a vented hood to work as long as there's sufficient clearance above the IC, which it look like there is. The air simply passes through the engine bay just like it would with a TMIC or FMIC. You still get the benefits of short pipe runs and not blocking the other heat exchangers. A vented hood would make it work better, but not dramatically so.

The number of turbos has nothing to do with anything.

 

Hyper black is the most black you can get. It's far darker then regular black, and darker even then Mega Black because it's hyper....In fact, it's even more black then super-happy-honourable-JDM-drift-spec-m@d b1@ck yo!

(couldn't resist...my useless post for the month)

 

only if it's the JDM-Drift hyper black is it the good black

Like these....... If only they were the hyper black floor mats they would be the ultimate jdm drift floor mats





& yes I know about the actual JDM'edness of these so please don't point it out. I love the 7 pages of crap that comes up on e-bay when you search for jdm drift. Makes me sick

 

I dont know what all the fuss is about the spoiler on that car. I happen to like it. It is a bit high, but I just bought a GT5 spoiler for my car. So I like it.

 

care to explain that statement eg:context and examples.. ??

From an flow point of view that wing is in clean air at ANY speed and as long as the actual airfoil shape of the wing provides lift, then it DOES to it's job.


and check the post... before posting it..

That's got to be a promotional car, wheel setup, the aero parts to cause downforce.. the lack of roper ducting for the V mount.. that or some clown is getting ready to fail miserably in a drift comp.

 

um . no.

the extreme low pressure over the hood creates a very nice air draw, PROVIDED you have a proper evacuation setup, venting the V mount under the hood only causes back pressuring and reduces flow through the IC.. the difference IS dramatic.

 

ummmmmmm..........

 

The low pressure is far from extreme; only a few hundredths of a psi below atmospheric.

It's absolutely no different to a TMIC or FMIC, or even the radiator, A/C condenser and oil cooler for that matter. The same amount of air is flowing in through the nose and out through the engine bay regardless.

 

Uh, you meant "downforce" and NOT "lift", right?

In my opinion all aftermarket wings look horrible on fc's, i have yet to see one i like. That car is drop dead gorgeous if you ignore the wing.

 

That's like saying ' deceleration' instead of ' negative acceleration', no such thing as deceleration '. Same with ' downforce' .. no such thing, it's simply lift in an opposite direction.

 

Then the air flow over our car is vastly different then mine.

It has nothing to what flow is available, it has to do with how efficiently it is utilized. With regards to a V mount, a sealed hood is less efficient then a hood that is properly ducted.
