veritech-z Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks Dave, not too many others have been able to see the vision as of yet... There are a few problems with this project in general right now. Keep in mind it's not finished yet, and that I'm now a full time graduate student about 90 miles from where my car is in cryo-sleep. That is to say all these awesome plans that i've got simmering on the back burner are at least a year away from even getting started. Still on the to-do list: a)fabricate a tray that is sealed to the bottom of the intercooler itself that will be ducted from the two front corners of the tray to the fascia of the car. 2)build a "power bulge" that covers the pipe and creates a transition to the exposed top of the intercooler. c)top this power bulge with a louvered panel. d)replace my bad R200 with something that doesn't clunk and try to jump out from under the car while cruising... I've taken the liberty of including a concept I've made to illustrate this idea. Through the magic of Photoshop CS3 I have managed to do this really quick and ugly sketch of what i plan to do: You may wonder how that tray is going to clear the valve cover, and if that magic happens, how the feed tube will clear the fuel rail. I'll cut a hole in that bridge when I come to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be a HIGHLY positive thing if the result is that the air gets direct upwards, as in a gurney lip. This will effectively draw air out the intercooler from the bonnet. The problem I see atm is that its not sealed so the air will be going down into the bay and upwards. Wack a small gurney lip in front of the cooler that seals with the bonnet and see what happens? I'd be interested to see if it works. Dave >> Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondabait Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is it possible to run a small ic behind the driver side wheel in the wheel well? Would a electric fan mounted to it make it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
