1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

llos like it could work well,

if you work out the actual size of the passages of of the air path through the intercooler its pretty small, in the region of 1/4-1/3 of the frontal area of the cooler, a duct of this size the right shape into the intercooler can give a better result.

...well thats what Alan Staniforth reckons anyway

Matty, he told me 120.98, don't round it down mate, 1 mph it big on the 1/4 mile!

Has anyone got any more pictures of under Nic's bonnet? its an absolute masterpiece, love Concept Racing fabrication.

1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER

Hat's off to Nic for raising the bar and still remaining 5port. I would love to know more about bananas/curleys etc but in Nic's own time I guess!:)

Well I had it on the Slark rollers, I dont know quite what was going on but it managed 199.5 bananas. This was on 20 psi as I ran at Avon.
Im presuming that the air going through the intercooler at speed is keeping the air temps down ont strip.

Here are some more pics:
(There is an extra bit of ducting on there now, and brace bars are slowly appearing)

well worth the wait!!!

EXCELLENT

I seriously doubt it!

Very nice. The i/c didn't look half as big when I saw it at Avon with the front on!

Great work there Nic!

god that looks awesome Nic!

Where's the bottom rad hose running though? and that's the large bore black rubber hose seemingly going down towardsthe front right wheel past the blue silicon?

Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction.

WOW

Absolutely superb.

oooh thats a big fucker!

can you even turn right? lol

i presume you have ducted it down to about a 3" slit at the front?

do you have an MAT gauge? if so has it made much of a diuference?

yes Matty, we guessed correctly lol.

I feel going on what me and others have got that your now pushing a good part over 200 bhp old bean:) so when you putting the other head on?

I read a similar theory on intercooler ducting in a book called 'maximum boost' realy good book, only down fall is that its american.

It says 'A rule of thumb is that the duct inlet should be at least one fourth the core area. This rather strange situation is brought about by the fact that less than one fourth of the air molecules would get through he core with little or no attention to ducting'

Thought this was quite interesting, anyone here read that book?
