240Z Turbo Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just some update pics of changes made to the TwinTurbo ZR1. This is the new intercooler piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 73Turbo240z Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 wow... 1 speed bump, 1 pot hole, thats all it'll take... but man, that is some NICE engineering, i'd be interested in seeing PSI readings at various points in the plumbing to see how the changing of pipe geometry. good looking stuff, are those Mocal electric oil pumps your using to do drainback on the turbo w/?

Vintage-TechZ Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 wow... 1 speed bump' date=' 1 pot hole, thats all it'll take... but man, that is some NICE engineering, i'd be interested in seeing PSI readings at various points in the plumbing to see how the changing of pipe geometry. C'mon now........you gotta' know that James did some math regarding the box cubes and pressure drop along there ?Pressure is unaware of the "SHAPE" its surrounded by.More affected by volume and turbulance. Besides,,,,,those look like some pretty healthy pumps being motivated by an already Big HP engine. Whats the guys final HP goals there James ?? P.S..........hey, are those extruded boxes there ??Cheater...lol. ..............Vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 air flows better through round tubing instead of rectangular. However, we did increase cross sectional area with this piping. Pressure is affected by turns within the piping, but it is most likely neglible. Calculations smalculations, there just isn't any room!

silicone boy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 wow, I like that... but damn, is space at a premium in that car or what?!!? Try a twin turbo in a V8 Z car! I salute you brother. In my quest for horsepower, I had so many versions of manifolds, intercooler plumbing, etc, that I lost count. Keep at it. It's a hard road, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Just ask Turbomeister (I fear for his life with all that power). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 wow o wow! but how many vipers are in that garage! i count 4! omg im in love! even more so with that silver striped acr! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 wow o wow! but how many vipers are in that garage! i count 4! omg im in love! even more so with that silver striped acr! mike 4 is correct. The silver striped is the ACR as you can tell by the rims. Dynoed at the 550hp@wheels range. The red viper is twin turbocharged and made 900+hp/1100+ft-lbs@wheels. Currently building a 500+CI motor for it with better heads and cams. I will be retuning that car some time in the near future using the AEM. I did some tuning on another twin turbo Viper using the AEM some months back to see if we could tweak some more power from it. We actually hit 170mph in that car and it was still pulling. I hate to say it, but I tapped out. I had visions of my being killed and missing my children. Although it is not visible, there is also a Lingenfelter stage 2.5 TT vette making ~650hp.
