As per the title, What would be the perfect inlet path to the turbo? Straight Pipe? Diameter?

Is there a Calculation to work out the correct inlet pipe length between filter & turbo?

Conrad

 

As short as possible, with around a 15 degree gradient down to the turbo compressor inlet diameter.

Practicality of sucking in warm air screws this a little....which is where the fun begins

Richard

 

So a filter mounted directly onto the Turbo would be the best solution in terms of inlet length but I would have to channel some cold air towards it?

 

something like this may let u have a "straight" inlet :



Carlos H.

 

mine..

Clock the turbo.. 100mm intake pipe with largest off the shelf K&N installed.. mounted on a spun aluminium trumpet.

David

 

Carlos, Thanks, seen that picture before, APS DR550 turbo, doesn't show the inlet filter though, only a clocked turbo.

David, how do I seal a 100mm intake pipe onto a 72mm turbo inlet, PTFE?

LOL

Only joking M8


One thing I did notice about the APS upipe with T off for the external waste gate (see picture)that branch off must affect / disrupt gas flow into the turbo when the wastegate is closed. A sort of dead leg in the system????

David, do you know who supplies the 100mm intake pipe & trumpet?

Conrad

 

Of course..

My Intake trumpet is Lateral Performance, he also supplies the filters and hose..

My hose was sourced off ebay until I cooked it then mark gave me a piece of 100mm

(edited to spell my name right )

Mark seems to have everything I need at the moment

 

I know because mine came from there..

David

 

Just what i need too i think... the trumpet, filter and hose.

anyone for a goup buy

PS> hows the inlet manifold coming along David ??

 

erm..

Still waiting for metal.. from LegacyTurbs..

 

Short of a cold air box there David? LOL

That filter sits right where my header tank is

Its going to have to move......

I think the block with all the brake pipes attached on the new age cars is further back, right where the filter is. It'll move I think!

 

Thats called abs

 

MMMM might be trickier than first thought

Conrad

 

Think i'm going to have to contact Mark and place my order then for the Filter and Trumpet and pipes...whats your availability on these at the moment Mark (if your out there) ????
