    Turbo placement, exhaust heat and back pressure.

    I came across this turbo kit that is designed very different from most. The turbo itself is placed behind the rear axel, below the gas tank approx 10-12 feet away from the engine. http://www.ststurbo.com/inc/iview/264?idx=7&p=8054 More pics can be found here...

    How much heat will this evaporator remove?

    Thanks for the replys, Roughly how much more heat would this same evaporator remove if it were placed down stream of the turbo in 300deg air?

    How much heat will this evaporator remove?

    Quick question. I just want to get a ballpark rough idea of how much the air charge temperature would drop through an evaporator of this size at 800cfm with 80deg ambient air temp vs. 300deg ambient air temp...

    Turbo inlet vs discharge temp

    SBBlue, Thats just what I was going to ask next. How do I calculate the heat transfer between the different temps? I know its impossible to calculate an exact answer, but roughly how much more heat would be removed by an inter/aftercooler filled with ice water (or a refrigerant at -30deg) with...

    Turbo inlet vs discharge temp

    Eric, Your right, I ment compressor efficiency, not voulmetric efficiency, my mistake. So am I correct to assume that it is more efficient to reduce the temp of the air going into a compressor than to try to reduce the temp of the air coming out? As in using a refrigeration based intercooler...

    Turbo inlet vs discharge temp

    Ive been working with a formula that is supposed to calculate a compressors discharge temperature when given the inlet temp, pressure ratio and volumetric efficiency of the compressor. I found that when the inlet temperature is lowered that the discharge temp is effected by about 120%-130% of...
