I didn't think I was giving out any secrets, I thought RG had already stated his desire for doing his 7 with the Axial Flow. It might even be on this thread. If I did give something away, shoot me.

The big drawback with IC on a fueled system is all that volume full of atomized fuel under pressure. An in manifold IC would be OK, just ducting it all the way around the front of the car is not attractive.

A liquid to air radiator installed in the intake manifold would be a good thing. You could use a smaller unit that way as liquid to air is a lot more efficient the air to air. It requires more componants though. Yet it is easier to get liquid transfer hoses in and around the engine compartment.

Any of you NJ guys know a car hauler that would bring my car out here?
Yes, I bought one in your state, shoot me again. But it was brand new for used price. If anyone has a some contact with indepenent haulers let me know. Or any other ideas. No, you can't drive it out here for me, thank you for the offer though.

Well now, that would be a true intercooler. Think you invented something only to find out someone else has done it. In this case the expense of two blowers or two cases would preclude any use.

Can you forget the romance with the IC for awhile until you see what my blower can do without it? I know it is hard to embrace the thought after all your experience with turbos. But consider some of the heat that you are use to getting rid of came from the exhaust. After all it has to go someplace.

Street blowers are running at relativly low pressure and if you compress it efficintly then run fuel in it there is no heat rise. I can tell you in a few days when I get time to run the calcs about what the intake charge will be. It might be lower then ambiant.

Think about this for a moment, dragsters probably have 600f+ air coming out of the blower, yet the temp readings are 200f. They run about 20% of the fuel through the blower. That of course is a huge amount liquid, maybe a gallon in 4.5 sec. They by weight run .8 to 1. Or at least 1 to 1. Someone should call and tell the Pentagon.

Took me 35 minutes to read all of the pages when it was at 100. =(

If you feel like not reading it fine just don't expect people to always answer. I'm not sure if you fall into the category. Asking is not a problem. However, asking AGAIN after 2 minutes because no one answered you is.


Also, most of the time there's a "cliff notes" version every 2 pages or so... so you really don't have to read the entire thread.. Unless you like aviation .:D
