Here's a rare interaction of CoBB and function:

BA-BAM! Wow, Andy - what is that in??? My french is not up to par.

 

Holden Monaro HRT-427. That's basically a C5-R motor.

 

So how does one go about getting the NAM discount? My PM and inquiry on the website are so far unanswered.

 

Martin - I PM'd you back but I don't think I saw a questions email... I'll check again. I had a family emergency so I was unable to respond. From our website (www.maxvelocity.net) you can place the order and to get the discount, use code: NAM-MX-001 . That will get you the 15% off.

>>So how does one go about getting the NAM discount? My PM and inquiry on the website are so far unanswered.

ananiou - WoW The estimated price for our Cooper S Carbon Extreme Intake is $219.00 ...

 

As promised here is a video of a blow torch to carbon fiber test. It was a fun experience :smile: but climax was not achieved from the results ops: zzzzz

Carbon fiber burn test

Nice work Roman. Not sure exactly what that proves, but it looks cool


Oh Trippy, where art thou?

lo all - I've been following the various intake discussions - especially in relation to the cf topics.... the ideal material to provide the surround to a cai should be one that insulates well... the test above (nice vid ! ) proves that cf doesn't burn easy and cools real fast - it doesn't prove heat insulation.

to test heat insulation, place a temperature sensor (not recommending hand or other body parts here!) under a measured thickness of cf and introduce a heat source at a set disctance for a measured amount of time. Read off the score on the temp sensor (assuming it survived). I would bet that although it cooled real fast, if you compared say identical thickness of cf to aluminium, the temp gauge under the al would be lower than the cf...

how about a plywood cai surround anyone ?

cf does look a bit special under the hood though...

 

LOL! That video was awesome!

But, there are a couple things wrong with it. For one, you are heating carbon fiber cloth, not CFRP. I suspect the materials would be behave quite differently.

Now that I go back and read Trippy's challenge, it is different from what I had imagined. I was picturing a hand with palm up is holding a panel of CFRP. Then, a torch is applied to the top of the CFRP directly over the hand. If you can do that for 1 minute without melting like the ***** in Raiders of the Lost Ark, then that proves that CFRP is an excellent insulator.

 

can we get the 15% discount if we pre-order the CF intake from you Roman?
when will the CF version be available?

 

LOL.... Ok, at least I didn't get flammed :smile: That was just for fun and in no way proves anything except that CF won't burn. Now if I did that to my CF CAI, I bet I would be able to roast marshmellows on the flame as the resin caught fire and melted away. The resin I use is rated up to 350*F, which is more than enough to survive under a hood of a car but will be no match for the torch.

This video will be on DVD shortly for $19.95 and if you act now, you will receive brake pad grease which reduces friction and improves rotor wear. :smile:

 

hey Max, what about my question?

Dan - PM sent.

which resin are you using?

Vinylex composite resin. It's very good stuff. If you want to make something out of carbon, I'd recommend it.


Ohhh and if anyone would like to get the Carbon Extreme Cooper Intake, it will be available for shipping in about 10 days from today. All NAM members will get a 15% discount (you'll need a discount ID which I will provide later). The thing is, I can't make a lot of them so I'll have to say 'quantiities will be limited'.

hello Roman any news on the intake kit yet?

Has anyone received the original (plastic housing) intake kit yet?

 

The maxvelocity web site doesn't seem to work.
