I laugh at them...

 

Will do.
After paying appropriate vendor fees to all the MINI websites I frequent I figure about $100K a piece will work.
That includes the MINI discount.

 

Would someone who lives up on the north pole have to put a heater on their IC to make more HP. Guess I have nothing to better to do today.

 

If you put it on your car and your IATs are lower and your car produces more power on the dyno who cares if you are keeping or making..... my take is that an inferior IC will not allow to "make" the theoretical but a good IC will allow you to "preserve" your potential...

Put the thing on and measure your IAT dif.... refer to the thread I started about IAT dif and power made or lost and calculate.... actually that is what Way and I are going to do tonight or tomorrow night......

 

THat neve happens on NAM.... does it Boris?

 

 

Oooo! Oooo! Ceramic underwear for that "Cool as a Spring Day" feeling


Talk about going OT

Slow NAM day what can I say.

 

this one time at dyno camp... a mini made 300 WHP... I froze the IC with cryo... and made 350 WHP...

then this other time at intercooler camp... I changed my tiny top mount to a rediculously huge front mount.... and went from 122 MPH in the quarter... to 127 MPH....impatient:impatient wiiieerrd

.. but intercoolers don't matter that much, nor do they make HP..it's just a coincidence

 

the HP wasn't there before the IC was, so where'd it come from?

Matt

ps, Tuls, for the quarter, get a water to air and run some real, real cool stuff through it. Should blow all the A2A away!!!!!

 

I don't see how it could make HP it could free up HP that is lost in the hotter charge air.

 

Cool Pic mozzarella

We dyno'd a jackson M62 Honda Civic engine Lotus Elise today with NO INTERCOOLER it made 220whp at 8400 at 6lbs boost with 11-1 comp.

If only I could swing my engine to 8400

 

Hmmmm, so if we loose HP in the intake and we loose HP in the exhaust, head and computer then all we have to do is remove those parts and we won't loose any HP. Then if we get rid of the engine we will have infinite power because that must be where the rest of the HP is lost.

I've gotta go patent this idea before anyone beats me to it.

there's more than one way to swing a dead cat .... all that matters is why.

 

The pressure resulting from the fuel burning causes expansion. If the charge is cooler to start with, the expansion is more. The expansion is what causes the pistons to move. More expansion=more power.

 

Cooler air is also denser. The air molecules pack closer together because they're not in as high an energy state. It's the same thing as what they see on the dynos. They have tell it the ambient temperature-that adjusts the correction factor to try to "even out" the reading.

 

Maybe I missed it, but. Will the revolution header be a bolt-on that'll mesh with any regular cat-back exhaust, or will it require a special / custom exhaust? (a la the Stahl unit)

And have we heard about pricing of this header or the cam (which is still R&D, right?)?

 

You'll need to shorten you CB a bit as the primaries are VERY loooonnng...there is a special mating flange that needs to be welded onto the exhaust to hook up to the header with a very trick clamp...I plan on grafting it to my Borla Race...

 

Looks that way.
Magnaflow folks like myself will probably need to spec a shorter front resonator.
Or just go full fart and eliminate it and your hearing altogether


Then again......hnmmmm.....is there going to be a CB that goes along with this header?

Gosh!! I wonder

 

Funny you mention the Magnaflow as that is what Jan mentioned to me.....

 

Thats what is on my car . The "new" Magnaflow system works and sounds great with the new header.

The second system like mine was finished yesterday. RMW buys the new Magnaflow CB system then modifies them to work with the new header.

The front resonator is removed from the front of the car and then re-installed at the rear just before the merged Y. This makes room for the new High Flow cat and stainless flex joint. The connection between the cat and the header is made via a V-band connection rather then the flange and bolt type. Much better!

The new Magnaflow system is bigger in DIA then most. 2 1/2" down the center splitting into two 2 1/4" all the way to the tips.



Longboard

 

What happened to using the knarly looking Burns SS mufflers?

 

Beautiful stuff but you have to run way too many mufflers to make it livable on the street.

Plus:
More mufflers = less flow
More mufflers = More money

The cost was getting crazy high and since performance should also be affordable too this looks to be a solution that works well and is not as expensive.

Longboard

 

This must be the one thats on its way to New York

 

I've lost track of the Jesus headed owners who have been to the dyno.

Maybe there should be a Jesus dyno thread or would that get to confusing??

How many owners have them now??

 

Paul,

You are the Fireballed distributor right?

Between NAM and MM you keep badgering JAN to give you a head to test and to see the data on his header and exhaust development. Why would he spend the money developing products only to give you, the competition, his test DATA?

Only Jan knows the total # of heads sold. Contrary to popular belief, I have a real job and don't work with or for Jan. I wouldn't have a clue other then allot . I talked to him today and he told me he sold three more heads yesterday.

I do know that there are at least one maybe two running around your little island.

Just having fun,

Longboard
