One off custom build

cv129 · 02-01-2015, 10:54 AM

Seen this car at the shop for the past couple years, it surely has been there for a long time, was wondering what the heck was going on. Also seen video of this car in action prior to this build, it was already a fast car. Good luck!

I'm curious where are all the nay sayers?

We're still here. That bend off the IC is absolutely awful for flow. You should really do something about that.

I can't win.

But how is it bad? I'm assuming your a professional in making stuff. Explain please.

You really think a hard 90 degree turn is good for flow? Take a look at how any other 370 kit runs the inlets and outlets for the intercooler. You don't need to be a professional fabricator to know that. You just need to know the absolute basics. If the person who is building the kit doesn't even know that much, this project is going to end in tears.

Edit - 2 90 degree turns. Wow.

SO your telling me you know how to do it? Hey why don't you come on down to Dallas and tell me how to do it in person. I'll put you on the pay roll.

Really I encourage it. Let me know.

You only get so much real estate to work with. Keep the momentum!

Chuck33079 · 02-20-2015, 03:53 PM

You asked for opinions, you got one. Sorry you don't agree. Maybe you could try reading a book about the subject. I would suggest "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell.

37winner · 02-20-2015, 04:01 PM

I never said I didn't agree Chuck. I found the perfect solution, you. It's a win win situation. You fix my problem, I pay you. You don't fix my problem, well no payment.

How about you read it to me when I'm in Houston. I promise I will listen to you very thoroughly, and take notes.

No reason to be bitchy. When you ask for opinions on the internet, you may get some you don't like. This isn't the first time on this page alone you were told that was a bad fab choice, but you blindly soldiered on. So keep at it, champ. I'm sure you'll have that car up and running one day.

Who said I'm bitchy? But since your the internet expert I guess I am. God why am I so bitchy, especially on this forum? The ******* green weenie strikes again. In the form of the internet now.

But really why don't you come on down, or wait, I'll go to you and ask you in person.

I've been told everything is impossible on this forum, Chuck. I'll be in Houston March 19-22 come say hi. Can't miss us. We have Marine Corps and our PLT stickers on our cars.

I never claimed to be an expert. It doesn't take an expert to know what you're doing is a bad design choice. You could have found that out simply by looking at a picture of any other 370 intercooler. But keep going, you're this far in it. Maybe you'll prove physics wrong.

Alright big sexy. Tell me more..... My mind is filled with naughty 90 degree tig welds, and other type of bends people say is a big no no.

Let us pray and ask God a question.

God can I prove physics wrong? I really want to please Chuck and let him be my bestest friend? Can you do that for me God??

I think God replied with a big **** you just now. Damn.....
