Thanks for replies. Yes, there would be safety systems in place, which is why I wanted to ignore the failure mode aspect of the whole thing. You could monitor fluid flow, current draw, whatever - the bottom line is: what is the IAT. I think that monitoring IAT would be the key to safety - one can lower boost and cut timing when IAT approaches a threshold. If the air is too hot the system isn't working. I think it can be fairly simple. The way I see it, it comes down to Intake Air Temps. How the air is cooled is irrelevant as long as it is cooled, and cooled enough. The short pipes would likely allow the factory turbos to work more efficiently with virtually no pressure drop. I think this could make a considerable difference, especially when looking at the difference breather mods seem to make. The question is, what is the safe temp (approx), and can chemical cooling get me there? I know there are a zillion variables. All just my thoughts.
8.5 to 1 CR NA. For the moment.... |
