One off custom build

jwick · 02-20-2015, 04:37 PM

First Google search came up with PVC but It shouldn't matter much since the friction coefficients will be similar.

1 - 90 3" bend is equal to 8ft of straight pipe. Short story long any bends in your system are going to introduce frictional loss and not be as efficient. So it is better to have it enter straight into the intercooler. Now if it's the only option then, it is what it is.

Now im curious...So how much does 8ft or a 90 really slow down flow? Does it affect boost threshold? By how many rpms?

I'd need a text book to calculate pressure drop caused by the frictional loss but it will effect threshold cuz you have to over come the extra friction loss.

The test car for Sasha's V2.0 kit picked up half a pound of boost from the new routing. I believe that most of that is due to not having the hard 90 at the exit to the compressor cover.

What company came up with that design on intercooler? Dude just go with another intercooler so you wont bottleneck the system...
Ah, you gotta love this forum...

Good luck with the build. The Z34 community has taken a severe black eye because of the GTM mess. It needs qualified people thinking outside the box and helping develop obtainable products.

This is just as entertaining to read as the GTM thread.

OP is so salty

I really want to know what the IAT and under the hood temps are lol

Well that looks interesting. But am I seeing things or are you going to have to remove your alternator?
