your welcome lagos

meh..not what i was expecting. i was hopin it would a vid of his car in action....where you could here that turbo, etc...

[Akimbo]

err nice tour. would have liked to see it in action though, some flyby's or sounds or something.

[Jaws4God]

cool video, but i was wanting to see more of the car and sweet driving.... perhaps you are working on Part 2 or 3 ???

[lagos]

hahaha sorry guys, its my ****ty camera. basically it has no audio and only takes 30sec clips that i have to splice together, its a pain in the ass to make a good video with it.

btw, i wrote that crappy music thats playing in the video...hahaha

I liked the vid and the beat that went with. By the ways Lagos I finally got my car running, but still work out some bugs. I also painted my car S2000 yellow. Check it out on my profile.

lagos that car is definitly sweet. Im feeling the swap more and more or at least a turbo on the 7a.


eh that yellow seems a little to bright for me, ill need to see the car in its final before i judge it tho.

It's a nice vid, lagos.. . I like it.
Can you make a longer one next time... .

Nice lagos, would have liked to have seen the car in action; but I understand the limitations you're working under.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what do you have covering your pipe from the turbo to the intercooler? Some kind of heat shielding so it doesn't get any hotter from the exhaust manifold?

[shin]

nice video lagos, sweet car. like the others requested, would you be able to make another video of how your car sounds, and when it's on the move?

[lagos]

thanks for the nice words about my car, glad you guys like it.

shid, the stuff on my piping is exhaust heat wrap. its on there to help keep that hot tubo boost from heating up the the cold pipe thats next to it.

S'what I thought; the 3s intake manifold isn't ideal for FMIC piping but nice way to deal

Why don't you also wrap the heat insulation around the FMIC->intake manifold pipe? That way you'd get less heat from the exhaust manifold as well- insulation works both ways

[lagos]

i didnt want to over do it with the wrap. it keeps the heat in, but also dosnt let it out to cool. so i only wraped the parts of the piping that get hot to the touch.

I'd guess you'd want to make sure you only wrap the parts of the pipe where the heat transfer is the most negative; but here I question your choice of which section of the pipe to tape over.

The pipe coming out of the turbocharger should be hot to the touch- it's from the turbo fan blades heating up the air- I don't think wrapping it would help much since there's enough heated air on the inside already to make the heat transfer just from hot to hotter.

Then it goes through the FMIC and gets cold- and then it goes over the engine to the intake manifold. The thermal transfer on that section of piping can only be from hot (engine bay) to inside the pipe (cold air from the FMIC)

If anything, I'd reverse the wrapping- or you might want to wrap the underside of the FMIC->intake mani pipe; that way cool air through the GT4 vent gets to the pipe still; but most of the heat from the engine is blocked off.

[lagos]

the reason why wraped the hot turbo pipe, is to keep that heat away from the cold pipe that goes to the manifold. before the wrap, the hot turbo pipe would get so hot that it cause the cold pipe to heat up. now the cold pipe stays cool. also, if you look at my piping, theat hot pipe is one long piece, so it was easy to wrap the whole thing like that.

[shid]

Right, but what I'm saying is that the thermal transfer on the FMIC -> Intake manifold pipe is only one way- the pipe gets hotter never colder- it should already be cold from the FMIC. There's no reason this pipe needs to "cool down" - now if you wanted to leave the top unwrapped due to cool air from the hood vent (always a plus ) thats understandable; but you'll never get a thermal transfer in that pipe with the resultant temperature being lower than if it were heat shielded, would defy the laws of thermodynamics

Shid what are you talking about? That heat wrap is meant to keep heat from HEADERS out of the engine bay (it keeps the heat in until it exits through the exhaust)... which is the hottest thing in an engine. It effectively keeps the heat from leaving the pipes that it is wrapping. By wrapping the turbo to intercooler pipe it keeps that hot pipe from radiating heat to the intercooler to TB pipe... which is extremely close if you look at the picture. And study the picture some more and it is also a great shield that keeps the heat from the heat shield away from that part of the engine... with that heat wrapped it makes all the exhaust heat go straight out the vent. Are you studying thermodynamics or something? If so then school me on why I'm wrong.

Yeah Sean,
That wrap has been around for a while now. They even have turbo wraps which phyically wraps the turbo. The wrap is like insulation. Its job is to keep HOT air in. So wrapping the turbo and the pipe from the turbo to the FMIC is the beat solution for any turbo setup. Sure it doesn't look pretty, but it helps alot. Wrapping the pipe from the FMIC to the intake manifold is backwords. If anything this pipe should be sticking out of the hood. Wrapping them would just trap the heat that it picks up from the engine bay, whereas normally the pipe can disperse the heat as the air travels through the pipe.

Heres a pic of turbo wrap


Think of it this way Sean. You have a ice cooler sitting on the ground. Nice and cold. Next to it is an electric heater to warm up the room. With your theory, you should wrap the ice cooler. That would trap the air and melt the ice. In this true scenario, you should wrap the electric heater and keep all the hot air inside the heater. The heater would heat the air and the ice cooler alot slower this way. The other way, the heater still heats the cooler just as fast, and now the cooler cant disperse its heat either.


Granted, I would have run my pipes differently, but the heat wrap is a great idea.
