Well if Honda gave up and couldn't take care of oil control
it just ain't gonna happen. Looks like it's back to the old
boring round pistons....again.
LOL
The little reading I did on the Honda, was that to comply
with the racing class rules, the engine would have to be
a 4 cylinder, so the ovaled out an 8 cylinder engine into
a 4 cylinder model, simple as "the mother of invention
is nessesity"
This is a cool idea, modern EFI and reliability, in
a classic style carb. I don't know how well resin
would stand the heat but a cast pot metal dummy
certainly would.
Why not place the injector into the "floatbowl" and
plumb the high pressure lines to the stock carbs
origional...
LOL no worries,
I need to go to bed now, got to get up at 2AM
to go to work.
You might try direct links to the pics
unless these were, I didn't / couldn't see
the whole address.
Just checked, they are direct links, I guess
you need to post in a public forum site.
No broadband available here =(
if your doing this on the cheap
air to air is the way to go, and I know you
have that setup allready so you have some
choices to make. Add 50% alcohol to your
water injection for additional cooling, more
than that will not help.
The bottle needs to be as close...
The most effective burn would be with fuel that is
in a vapor form, liquids do not burn as well, they
need to be atomized with O2 to support efficient
combustion, so to a point, hot fuel would seem to
give better economy, less fuel to get the 14:1
optimum ratio.
If the fuel is not needed to...
10:1 is not ideal for a boosted engine.
7:1 or 7.5:1 is much better, not that it cannot
be done, you just get better overall effect with
lower CR.
The problem is not the lines freezing, it will be the tank
and regulator, and if no regulator the electric selonoid
that controls the flow. A 10 or...
I would like to see some test data, my thoughts
are that to get the cooling you seek it would
require a high volume of CO2 to be sprayed
in a pattern that would blanket the surface of the
intercooler, and then it needs to be drawn through
the fins to the other side to provide even cooling.
The...
That is the problem, boosted air is not cool, the compressing process can make boost
air 300F in some cases, your problem is not heat transfer from the engine, but cooling
the boosted air before it enters the cylinders.
Some aftercoolers of heavy trucks use the engine coolant to cool boost air...
I love a challenge!
Of the two points you make, one I knew you would
have, the restriction of the air flow, you must weigh
the benefit of cooler restricted flow air and hot unrestricted
flow, you might make more power on dense cooler air!
Also if the discharge is not directly blown down into...
HP at the shaft is different than the HP at the wheels,
the best way to determin HP is to put your car on a
rear wheel dyno, and do the test.
Detroit in the HP race used some deciving methods
to show how their car or engine had the most HP.
RWHP is the most accurate way to determin real
work...
One of the best ways to cool an intake charge is to use
a seperate "cooling" system for the supercharger.
It would consist of a heat exchanger in the manifold
which would look like a mini radiator situated below
(between) the supercharger and the mounting point
on the manifold.
You...
