Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild YEah I was telling all my Brit friends that there isnt much that could out launch a SyTy and then you showed up and proved me WRONG! LOL You must go back once the old girl is running properly and show them what a "yank tank" can do...

Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild Re: 1992 Typhoon 0539 rebuild Not sure if I remember correctly, Mark is it? You said you'd do it and you did. I absolutely cant believe it. So from me to you, I was wrong. I never thought the ol' girl would run again. AWESOME MATE!!!!! If you forgot, its Steven...

Re: Defeated...for now. You and other UK guys arent going to like this but, thats what happens to American cars that have been here too long. Most dont know what they are doing with them and they get hacked. Dude just figure out a way to get it to me & your check book and I'll tinker with it...

Re: a2a OR w2a Thats true, salesman usually try to push what they sell/have in stock. Just the nature of the beast. Ya know? :squint:

Re: a2a OR w2a Absolutely. I followed your work on PFF. The point some seem to be missing is that the W2A can be smaller is because its more efficent. When we get back to the states I am thinking of building a boosted Ecotec Fiero or an EJ207 powered Corvair. Both of which will be W2A.

Re: a2a OR w2a I am familiar with many different platforms including the SyTy. I bought one when new. If you are asking if I know the flow rate of the pump, CFM rating of the intercooler then no. I do however perform this type of work on quite regularly. You assume much with that last...

Re: a2a OR w2a I don't yet own a SyTy so I am discredited? :roll: You guys crack me up. :rotf:

Re: GunMetal c5 5 spoke wheels on a Syclone anyone? Ohh thats hot!

Re: a2a OR w2a Do I even have a syty.. wow did you really pull that card? Now you have went and disappointed me. No I don't have one. I don't even have the scooby anymore. Anything else?

Re: a2a OR w2a I am gonna have to disagree with you Mike. I do applaud the fact that you conducted yourself like an adult. :tup:

Re: GunMetal c5 5 spoke wheels on a Syclone anyone? I was looking at their Z06 ones. I have asked 3 times and the guy will not respond with wheel weight.

Re: a2a OR w2a *I had a really detailed response but my Laptop went wacky and I cant be bothered to type that all out again* If you datalog your IAT's during your 45min mixed condition drive, you will find the temps will be more consistent with W2A. More consistent temps = way more accurate...

Re: a2a OR w2a Do a little research and you will find out for your self. Also if you read in this very same thread, I mentioned the use of an intercooler water spray system like the EVO and STi use. Water evaporating on the heat exchanger results in some pretty impressive cooling. Its the same...

Re: a2a OR w2a Not true. :banghead:

Re: a2a OR w2a Ask and you shall receive. *Note* I though I ran an 11.9 so I got a lil excited! ;) In reality the WRX only ran 12.4 @ 110. Click here to see Video

Re: a2a OR w2a Key statement there... Once on the move I don't recall IAT's below ambient. With W2A you should get lower than ambient. OK?

Re: a2a OR w2a Then you clearly misinterpreted what I was saying. I was responding to the previous question about the difference between stop and go IAT's. Maybe I could have been a little more clear. Though you'd have to know very little to think even with W2A IAT's would be below ambient in...

Re: a2a OR w2a Before entering smartass mode, where did I state that in stop and go traffic a W2A or A2A would give below ambient temps? Thats just stupid. :roll:

Re: a2a OR w2a My FMIC sets flush with the bumper opening on the WRX so there is no need & no room for fan. Here is a pic of the scooby's engine bay. If you look closely you will see I am a hard core believer in heat management. Things you can't see are phenolic intake gaskets and coolant...

Re: a2a OR w2a A2A would be worse. I have data-logged my WRX with its FMIC set up. I have seen IAT's triple in stop and go traffic. Once on the move I don't recall IAT's below ambient. With W2A you should get lower than ambient. :tup:
