I need some pictures/specs of charge-cooler setups ideally on B16a civics

Air to water intercoolers, what manifold you used, what heat exchanger etc.

Really need your help guys

 

some links to threads would be great! Post'em up

 

I've got some pics of s friend's car, don't know the specs on it though. It's a custom setup, put together by a local shop:

jrsc and turbo? Nice little setup.

 

What hp does that make?

any more for any more? there must be a bunch of a/w setups! Please post them up!


BUMP

 

wouldnt the intercooler not work as well because as soon as the air travels through the supercharger it will be hot again?

Yes.
I, ve seen Army recovery vehicles w/ two turbos and two superchargers on a desiel motor but it had a elaborate induction system and would use the superchargers from idle to about 1500rpm then the gates would switch after the turbos had built boost and run the turbos from 1500 to 2800 rpm. Hard to see the piping but youd think the jrsc is nothing more than a restriction in that set up. Unless there is more to the induction system.

 

search im too lazy to answer this post again

 

that would be a nice setup if you ran E85

The intercooler is only for the turbo. The SC is only for low RPM torque and spooling the turbo. Once the turbo builds boost, the SC is bypassed. Here's how the system works, although this setup has an air-air FMIC:

What kind of heat exchanger is that or where did you buy it from? how much?

what power are you making? Looks nice

 

and is that your water header or a fuel cell with the red cap?

 

My old DA setup-

 

PWR makes barrel intercoolers like that:

i dislike the pwr intercoolers, do you know how hard it is to isolate those intercoolers from heat soak?

is this for a drag only or street car?&gt;

More pics of that setup and the fab work can be seen here:

The intercooler is a PWR 10" Water-Air Intercooler. The tank in the engine bay is a water holding tank, and there is a separate heat exchanger for it in the front end of the car

 

Thanks for all this info guys, I think im going to sell my heavy xs-power heat exchanger and buy one of these PWR intercoolers. Thanks for all the info and help guys.

Any more pics of different setups? seeing how the turbo is plumbed in helps me greatly

 

If you really want to isolate it, IE insulate it, mcmaster.com has some 1800F ceramic insulation thats actually rather cheap. Its white and slightly gritty, but 1" (2 layers) of it makes the 900F+ turbine feel ~100F. If you want it to stay and look more baller, you can top it off with a aluminum-backed fiberglass mat, make it look shiney.

My guess is that CRX has the piping routed in front of that rad & around it to the IC.

oh man, i'd kill to see some vids of that car. the rest of that site has more awesome fab work.

You'd be guessing wrong then

 

Why Water-to-Air over Air-to-Air?
