Turbo over the Clutch (minimag car)
Turbo Mini Forums

Just to reitterate Tim, you are most welcome on this forum, but you did come across as a bit all knowing.

I would also argue that although matematically a larger the IC and associated pipework will affect lag, in reality it is insignificant in most applications.

Why not start a thread showing us your car, what you've done, any novel ideas, your thories into practice etc. Look at the results of the recent RR day we had to see what levels of performance some have all achieved. In many cases I suspect that the builders have only a small understanding of fluid dynamics.

This thread got interesting over night!
All i can say is i dont have a clue what fluid dynamics are why would you want water in your manifold As for the the Lcb manifold give it a try its got two chances! It can always be swapped for the metro manifold which is known to work!

the 90 degree bends, while not ideal wont affect the burn in teh combustion chamber, i would LOVE to see how you draw this conclusion.. personally dont see an issue with that build given the packaging constraints.

I do have issue with people calling other peoples hard work (which lets not forget is functional while not pretty ) "no shit tha mini turbo in the mag is wank i hate the hole thing" followed by some armchair expert nonsence and a severe lack of real world tests and data to back it up.

I studied thermodynamics and fluid mechnics too , my car is a very very long way from any kind of ideals of fluid flow but puts down the numbers. If i pisted a picture of the inside of my manifold i bet a few people would faint at the sight of my lack of transitions from round to oval sections as gasses exit the ports, turbulance central, not what you need when entering a turbine.. but it works.

if your going to be so rude about someone elses work, show us yours?

^^^^ well said, i don't know anything about fluid mechanics lol but no need to slag off someones hard work to that extent.

Fluid Dynamics? is that like beer going in one end and coming out the other and when there is too high a flow of beer it comes out of both ends?

you need to ask Jim about that Sturgeo i am sure they study it alot in The Lambs Arse

if i wore a top hat, i would tip it to the builder of said setup for geting it in a round nose.

going by the "idiot" bit has that bloke buggered off now?

whoooaaaa!!!

WTF is going on here? I wish i knew this new 'know it all' Tim's email address so I could email him a virtual turd to his inbox...

Turbo Dave your new signature is shit. get it fixed!

tim tim tim


you might not be wrong, but you have fuck all charisma

good luck with that

Look familiar?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

sorry guys about yesterday , i was rood.
accept this apology

or rude even

ok rude haha

fair play, welcome to the forum

did you say you were building up a motor? whack a post in the intro section and fill us in on what its about

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

will do mate , ill try get some picks up soon as well, have you got any picks up of yours ?

There ya go - every newbie seems to go through the same initiation - welcome

ok im not sure about this initiation thing haha but yea sos about that i just got wound up.

I would advise a change of username as having your UN as your email address will probably net you a lot of spam.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

tim, just to say what others have, this isn't the normal message board, people on here ALL get on. So i little thought before you post is very welcome.

how do you change your username ?

PM an Admin - Tom Fenton, Iain, AlexB etc

EDIT: Loose that picture from your signature. Christmas is in late December not fooking November!! Bah Humbug
