Prototype Intake manifold

So this winter I had an extra LIM and extra time so I decided to try something new. So as far as description goes it's a air to air and water to air LIM. 2.5" inlet/outlet. I converted it to single pass as well and opened up the laminova ports to 19mm. I will be using a killer chiller unit as the sole cooler of the fluid for the laminovas. For ppl wanting result your going to be waiting a while, car is parked till spring. So flame away and in 3-4 months I'll post results.

interesting... sub'd for results.

did you block off the air coming from the supercharger so that it ONLY goes through the air/air and then through the air/water? do you have shots of the inside, particularly where you opened the laminova cores?

In order for that to work there would have to be a block off plate so the boost doesnt bypass the air to air pipes and go straight into the runners,unless im not seeing it?

this is what i was asking about, i didn't see any in the pics of the IM cut apart, just the laminovas opened up. for this to be effective in the least bit, it would have to have a block off plate that comes from the inlet to the first air/air pipe, routing the air ONLY to that pipe.

Of course the air is directed through the front pipe I would just assume ppl would realize that's the case.

It works by increasing the amount of oxygen in the system which burns completely with the fuel. If the car is very hot, it will bring a condition where the people in there will be uncomfortable. This therefore means that they will not enjoy their time like they would wish to.
