Don't have kids either, it just gets worse . But I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even a complete make over fron Jan, lol.

 

Ditto!

 

updates?? got the Bell intercooler on there yet??

 

Update?

 

yea any updates?

 

Sure !

Longboard

 

Thats some cool stuff, I want to see some dyno numbers. I will miss the R53 world.
BTW you don't call anymore
Peace

 

Looks like Jan has been hard at work. Explains his absence here lately.

Very nice work. Kit must be near completion.

 

haha size matters?

is there any talk about making the hood scoop larger?

Thanks for the update, looks great!

 

I don't even consider the R56 a Mini . To fat and ugly.

Dyno next week. We figured out part of our boost problem. The belt was way to short and was slipping . Danny put a new belt on today. Because my car has Jans first header and exhaust it didn't have the V-bands so Jan changed it to V-bands for me. This and a lot of other things have added time to the project. I have said this before but next week we are on the dyno for sure.

After that there is two more things we are going to do. So, Dyno - new part - dyno - new part - and finely dyno again. Should be fun.

I have been crazy busy. i will call you next week.

Longboard

 

Thanks for the update Longboard.

 

thanks for keeping us updated longboard, this thing is really looking good

 

Great pics, and update. That intercooler looks great!

 

please STOP feeding the donkey

 

Sorry, its so tempting...

 

No need. the intercooler sits dead center in the scoop. The core is the same width as my widened scoop opening. It also sit perfectly flush with the bottom edge of the scoop opening.

Oh, the intercooler isn't finished. There are a couple more trick items to be added. Did anyone notice what was inside the opening in the inlet end tank?

Longboard

 

some sort of divider / diverter?

questions -

a) why two cores welded together and not one ? or am I looking at it wrong. I thought you guys were going a-to-w IC ?
b) why retain the stock air box? This tubing seems to be screaming AGS type set-up.
c) being that you have eliminated much of the cast tubing and have the rotex - how is the sound (i.e. whine) different ?

don't take the above as negatives - just curious about the thought process.

 

PLEASE STOP POSTING PICTURES

Is there going to be any surprises left for AMVIV?
Not to mention competitors who are already trying to steal everything I make

 

What you really need now is a smoothed in scoop. Some vents in the hood would look nifty as well....

I have a spare hood here...just say the word..

 

I'll answer this one
the prototype is a 2 core design since they don't make that size , it has to be special ordered. ( we will do this once we prove the system)

b) because it works fine...
there is nothing in common with AGS, this is a ROUND connector and WILL NOT LEAK. We don't have space issues like the eaton

c) the sound is amazing......It's quiet for one, sounds somewhat turbo like without the annoying blow off valve. Makes the exhaust sound even better.
It's amazing how much the Eaton ends up making noise in the exhaust system

none are taken as negatives... all were decent questions

 

I'm going to call you Monday. I want a bigger scoop then stock so I have an idea.

Bryan

 

Relax!

Some one needs to feed these guys .

Longboard

 

Cool...I'll even donate* the hood to the cause.



*Assuming it's a not CF special but made from an OE Steel hood that happens to be Space Blue right now.

 

no need to feed the competitors either.... they have been busy stealing as it is

 

The competitors are the one's that said the rotrex would never work.

Why would they want to steal something that doesn't work?

Come AMVIV the number of close up pics taken will be crazy. Should we keep the hood closed?

Longboard
