    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor Efficiency Hello KB and Brayden: I had thought of using it to make an intake a while ago. However I did a Google search on the the melting point of ABS and found that the melting point is 212* F. The max temp is 176*F. Here is the link to the site which has that info...

    Intercooler

    Hello KB: Not to take anything away from the present topic, but I gather from your one posting that it sounded like you found positive road results from the modifing of the turbo intake tube?? Would that be correct? Still waiting to try mine out, but this crazy 1 1/2 feet of snow that we're...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor efficiency Hello Larry: Yes, this tube is very similar to the one Killerbee posted. I done mine after all the info he provided. Basically it was fill in areas on the outside of the tube and start opening up the inside. I opened the "vertical" inside to that 2.775" in the area that...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor efficiency Hello Killerbee: Here are 3 photos of my intake tube after working on it. I hope this all works as it is my first time trying to send/attach photos on here. The "horizontal" size is now 2.940". That's after taking out the sharp 90 degree bend/protusion. The "vertical"...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor efficiency Hello Killerbee: Finally got my duct finished. Tried fiberglass but that didn't work. Just made a mess. Cleaned it off and ended up using JB Weld. It adhered very well to the existing material and was easier to shape and work with. After grinding and hand sanding, got...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor efficiency Larry. KB and LB7: Thanks for the replies and input on "not" using JB Weld. On looking at my intake tube once more I realized that a person can do a better job of reconfiguring the sharp bend by using fiberglass. Went and got myself some resin, hardener (already had the...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor efficiency Hello Killerbee: Looking at my tube and after JB welding the little hole a person made, I think that there is an opportunity to JB Weld the area in the sharp bend (doing this on the outside of the tube) and then grinding out the sharp angle on the inside. Looking at mine...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor Efficiency Hello Killerbee: I measured my tube and found that at the narrowest point (the sharp bend) mine measured 2.489". A measurement near the end that couples to the turbo measured 2.804" and at the inlet end (just before the reasonator port) measured 2.775". After doing some...

    Compressor Efficiency Problem

    Compressor Efficiency Hello Killerbee: Thank you and everyone else for the very informative article. Looking at the picture of the compressor tube that has had material removed to straighten out air flow, how much of a reduction in compressor/air heat would you expect to see with this much...
