I'm not a huge turbo guy, but I'd much rather just move the IC from the top mount position to a good front mount position and get a N/A aluminum hood. You'll save a bit of weight, gain much better cooling levels, better aerodynamics, and better cooling since the engine compartment will only be pressurized from the from of the vehicle thus promoting better air flow through the radiator, over the engine and under the car.

thats right across from my room i can see it from my door you ******* think you know it all.. you dont live here........ thats where my car is right now(suspension upgrades) and i still have to use some of my own tools.... 3/8ths ratchets arent even avaiable there(people keep overtorquingthem). you ******* dipshits. what the **** makes you think i can lay fibreglass and not gas out the whole area.. again people believing everything they see on the net... again people thinking they know every damn thing.. that shop has 3 steering alignment racks. and there lifts are flatbeds.. you cant take off the wheels and stand under the car unless you drive on to the short wheel alingment racks but dont stand up unless you like racking your noggin. there is not one area where you could fully rebuild a car without paying 25 bucks a day. nowhere does its say fibreglass or paint booth or anything about rebuilding a car... sure i need my coolant system flushed and my oil changed. i hope your car ******* falls on you so i dont have to put up with the dumb ****.... i'm glad you stupid ***** can google..... if the internet says it must be true. what the **** is your definition of full hobby dumbasses. please show up at this hobby shop with the intent of doing anything intensive, caustic or time consuming. some one panicked because i brought a propane torch in yesterday to melt out my old bushings. yeah no welding, brazing, heating front e-shaft bolts.... nothing intensive... oh yeah and again you spent too much of your personal life/time finding out where i live and what i have.

damn, some one is seriously gonna get owned by the end of this pissing contest....

on topic, seriously, just get a water sprayer setup on that topmount for cheaper...

gxlbiscuit

now back to business. i think i have a cheap idea for prelim test . just a simple cf sheets with a couple folds. ill look for a super rigid material . just takes three folds

skatingsamurai

that seems like it may be a cost effective way for toying around with different kinds of dynamics... i say elaborate a bit and see what you can make out of carboard! just my .02

and to stray off topic just for a second. i bought hood brakets from aerodyne that lifts the back of the hood up several inches....now from what you guys were sayin before high pressure on top and low on underside of the hood right?

would raiseing the back create a higher pressure on top and lower on bottom of the hood?

im tryin to think of it in terms of something like a plane wing...maybe i shouldnt tho

ps sorry if this topic was already covered

gxlbiscuit

not to be a smart *** but i dont feel cardboard would last over 40 mph

skatingsamurai

hahahah no no the carboard would be for fabrication/designing or some other hard material...thats what i use for fabing stuff like intake boxes-n-stuff

gxlbiscuit

ooooooooooooooh i dont get out often .....sheltered......"have you seen my baseball"

Dude, you're coming across as a ranting pile of anger and immaturity. All you seem to be able to do is swear and call people names. Why would anybody want to help out someone with an attitude like that? Even if I agreed with every word you said I wouldn't waste my time on someone who can't act like an adult on an internet forum.

Good luck with your project, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for results...

BTW, now that I've "crossed the line", what do I get?

the aerodyne hood raising kit is supposed to make the hood act as a cowl induction hood would, sucking hot air out of the engine bay, how effective it is, i have no clue. im gonna get a set soon, ill test the engine bay temp before and after, although i need to know what i need to check the temp under engine, could i just tape a 300 or so degree thermometer to the underside of the hood??

gxlbiscuit

i missed where you crossed the line........ say wha? oh yes and i have a horrible attitude muhahaha and im immature. (holds up fingers and says) "im dis miny" its all a pissing contest

skatingsamurai

yeah i have a set, the only thing that i am worried about is how when the hood is raised there is a gap in the TMIC so by eliminating that was thinking i could just by some adheasive and attacking some duct or spungy crap to close that gap.... no as far as a relyability issue goes... people knock these brackets because it raise the back of the hood past the fire wall which is responcible for stopping the hood when in an accident....a way to eliminate this would to be to add pin locks in the front of the hood.....

another problem and solution is that if i wanted to add 4 for extra security, (not sure if extra 2 is nessisary) i would have to have the pins be extra long because of the adjust height of the back...

as for the actual topic lol i say forgive and forge,t good luck, experiment, have fun, keep with it.

oh, im n/a no worries about intercooler gap if i get the kit

I remember two years ago when you did a great job advocating your skepticism for my ram air intake, and I should have built a water manometer to prove it worked, but my inaccurate vacuum gauge did in fact read a change in vacuum at given rpm ranges. The car sure felt different at or above 60 mph, and 120 was definately different. It wasn't a big bang for buck mod but was worthwhile.

I didn't read entirely through this thread but I'm assuming the controversial airflow direction through the TII scoop is being discussed.....?

NZConvertible

Like I said before, the base of the windscreen is an area of high pressure. If you lift up the rear edge of the hood, air will be pushed into the engine bay, not sucked out of it.

I was not skeptical of your intake at all, I simply suggested you were using the wrong instrument to measure the effect, and others agreed. I still stand by that statement. Exactly how much change to did your vacuum gause show? Give me a meaningful number.

Nope. We weren't talking about your intake either.

You might want to check on that...if you're right I'll UPS you a case of beer.

lol you are stupid, those area's denote pressure areas, not the way the air is flowing, arrows pointing down does not mean air is going that direction, if that was the case the TMIC would get no air, use your brain.

if that was the case then the FC pushes lots of air right off the front bumper "look at me, im a dumb inbred redneck" im finished with the 2nd gen section for good, i quit posting for 2-3 years, threads like this, the pennzoil oil thread and coolant threads are the reasons i quit posting, again as i said in the pennzoil thread, helpful people, your cool, NZ, AV8TR, biscuit, all the stupid people, stick it up your asses.

RX_AV8TR

BINGO!!

Aruba27flr

That's still cool to see that. you think you can find one of those for an rx with a scoop and spoiler? i'm sure neither are completely the same as that one. i guess it just depends on how you interpret it. high pressure at the windshield is because the air is changing directions really quickly, i think the scoop would receive similar pressure since it's causing the same thing more or less. you did say that was a high pressure area though, and you managed to prove it.

damn cardz, you have got to be one of the most dense people ive ever seen.

haha, nice way to take my statement out of context, i was pointing out the fact that you are the dumb redneck because you think the pressure area's are how the air flows, your a ******* moron.

RX_AV8TR

Hey....cardzrule, in case you didn't notice....we're talking about the little arrows pointing down at the base of the windscreen....that means....uhh....low pressure...

Sorry to burst your bubble there...


EDIT: Ok let say it in terms you understand, that means that if you drill a hole where those little arrows pointing down are all the way inside the car and you put a cigarette next to it going 50mph, it would suck the smoke out of the inside of the car through the hole...

get it? get it?
