so, the car runs 9.90 in the 1/4 as it sits. but we think we are leaving some on the table with the current setup.
standard entry level CXRacing AWIC core setup. core measuring 4.5 x 4.5. car is 4cyl making > 600 AWHP (800 plus at the crank) on a 4cyl 20v 1.8T. 500 gph pump with 12 gal reservoir for ice water.
but this is one change of a few to get that weight down some. this change is multifold, but this phase is all fabrication related. the goal is to drop about 70 lbs from the car, increase efficiency of cooling, and > double flow for chilled water.
the fab work is a collaboration. i make patterns and templates, and Justin (nubVR) does all of the final fab and welding.
new reservoir is ~3 gal. just makes ice addition every round instead of twice a track day. this alone nets us at least 60 pounds weight loss on the car weight overall. the pump is upsizing from 500 GPH to 1100 GPH. and the lines are up from -10AN to -12 AN.
and a new intake manifold as well..... going from homebrew (which works really well for us to date) to an actual engineered manifold. we shall see what happens with this, but the existing manifold was flowed in Solidworks and did pretty well for built at home with no education in this field. we are go fast guys who do fab and construction, not engineers.
on to some pictures....
modifying the brand new AWIC to fit where we need it.
this is existing with new manifold.
option one, with 90 in silicone out the top (we did not go this route)
option 2 with the outlets out the side of new redesigned endtanks (the route we are going)
