I'm just thinking with all of that charge piping does it need an intercooler at all? It's more or less a rear mounted turbo in terms of performance.

um excuse me posted:I'm just thinking with all of that charge piping does it need an intercooler at all? It's more or less a rear mounted turbo in terms of performance. The surface of an intercooler is probably a few dozen times the surface area of a poorly conducting steel pipe, so yes. Even STS, the paragon of rear-mount turbo kits, did some dumb poo poo regarding charge cooling like ceramic coating the compressor outlet pipes, so the heat stays in all the way to the throttle body!

Is... that an antique long rifle being used as a drift brake handle? BlackMK4 posted:NIO EP9 6:45 Ring lap Still can't get over how quiet electrics are. Something that fast should sound like a god's hammer whacking the bells of doom! It is neat to be able to hear all the other tire and chassis noises, though.

It's slightly too big, for one, and its engine displacement is like nearly double the displacement allowed by the class. I believe it must be a hoot to drive!

The best bit is with a 20' shipping container, you can bring over one of those and a Honda Today for me to paint up in You're Under Arrest colours.

I worked for a guy years ago who had a PP 20B in one of those with a full tube-frame chassis and a Jerico 4-speed. He ran it down to 9.4/144, all motor on pump fuel, and said it got insanely squirrelly past 120mph.

Pretty sure it will never get to the point of rolling over, on account of the tires instantly exploding every time your foot nears the throttle.
