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

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...
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...
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...
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...
