Sun, 06 February 2005 11:15 Hey sean, hope you have had as much fun as I did with the big cube engines, I haven't played with one in a while, I just built a mild turbo 4 litre with cast exhaust manifold and internally gated 60-1 turbo, but still yet to dyno, probably just a 350rwhp car. As for the cooler, the internal cores are absolutely identicle as the PWR front mount cores, they have all the little same fins inside them, I think they add up to 19 rows of a 73mm tube if you stacked them like an A/A, the PWR front mount has 17 in a 600x300 configuration. the tubes are 250mm long. I don't know if you have access or could guess the area of the finning to calculate if it is sufficient to dissipate the heat needed. My pump is a bosh pump, not disimilar to a Davies Craig booster pump, not the water pump one for the radiator, but the smaller booster pump for heaters and shit. It flows 35 litres/min at 12 volts so I'm guessin maybe 38-40 litres at 14 volts. The system you talk of I seen in a magazine some years ago, think it was zoom, grey 2 door RX4, they system seemed pretty basic, although it obviously worked. I am interested in the bit you are talking about restrictors though. Slowing down my pump speed is no problem whatsoever, Jaycar makes a very simply kit that can be built and will control pump speed with voltage and stuff, so I can slow it down, but I'm not sure if that would give the same result as restriction. I can't see how it wouldn't give the same result, as its all effectively just slowing the coolant down. The reason I'm pretty sure it didn't need sloing down, is that there is absolutely no air pockets in the system, and the coolant is at 0deg before a run, so any new fluid, no matter how FAST it is pumped through the core, is going to be below ambient, so I would imagine it would work the same. You can't compare this to how fast the coolant goes through the radiator at the front of the car, if you think of it more in depth, that would be comparing the air going through the cooler, not the water in the front, the water in the W/A system isn't having troubles cooling down in the system, its fantastic, so its nothing at all like a car overheating, or without a thermistat, the collant is C.O.L.D, and the air is heating up tooooo much. The only 2 things that can make this system work better, is if the cooling medium is wrong, so I need to take out the ethanol. Or that it needs MORE pump speed, because its not pumping the heated fluid IN the barrell cooler out fast enough as the hot air from the turbo passes through. What you think??
