thats a great setup for a single turbo, assuming that the stock airbox cant handle the volume of air required.

Helps N/A's along too, and will come in handy when I get around to fitting the supercharger.

now that would be impressive.

 

nice engine bay; good attention to detail.

Thank you for the compliments.

 

I have kept the inducted air as cold as possible.

 

Rammed cold air feed.

Insulated air box.

Insulated induction plenum.

Heat wrapped headers.

Hot water feed to throttle body isolated.

Insulation between rocker covers and T.B.

U.K. bonnet scoop with modified snorkel blows cold air on T.B.

Rammed cold air feed to fuel rail and between manifold and head.

 

Just the phenolic gasket to fit between the inlet runners and head to complete the cold air mods.

 

I have been back and expanded the engine pic so you can see more, I had left it small because it's also in another thread.

 

If you want to see any more, there are loads more pics and info in 'my garage' and albums, with the amount of views it has had, I thought most would have already seen this by now.

 

I want to get the N/A build finished and set up on the rollers before beginning the supercharger project.

david , the cold air feed to the fuel rail does this make a difference .ive already got a cold feed to the air filter .

[David P]

Never seen it done before on a road car, I doubt it makes much of a difference, but must be doing more good than harm.

Yet I have read that a phenolic gasket between head and runners can make 4oC difference to intake temps.

You will see in my previous post that I have paid attention to keeping the induction as cold as possible.

Tuning an N/A is a bit like going to Tesco.

Every little helps.
