Little Rock Ar. chat thread

[KillerRabbit]

he said he bought at HIN, hydra had a booth. ill ask him if he can talk to hydra himself.

you guys dont even wnat to know the specs on his car.












......306whp 6psi i shit my pants when he said he he did something to make it faster. t3/t4 rotated mount kit.


im going to ask him tomorrow where you guys can get the hydra

[KillerRabbit]

lol, guys that would be the first thing i would buy if i had a si

[GlxyGry06Si]

i will start with a good tune and then go from there. i can pretty much afford the hydra system now so that maybe what i go with. I may stay na and get some cams and see where that puts me. I am still in shock that bryan beat me. We will see what the dyno says. I changed my spark plugs and they were pitiful. Black and they were starting to bleed thru. It already feels better but could also just be my imagination. Who knows.

nice job sir, should have got the pulstars in my opinion.

its ok jarred, everyone has there time to shine.

i am no scientist nor do i have the knowledge of heating or combustion, i am only repeating what this guy was telling me. for all i know i could have heard him wrong if you are telling me something different....oh well that spacer works by holding higher temps than the other components.

Hmm, not really sure. I would have liked to talk to the guy.

Radiant heat transfer depends on the color. There are black bodies which absorb the most radiant heat, gray bodies which absorb some and white bodies which theoretically will absorb little or no radiant heat.

Heat transfer from touching engine components would be conductive heat transfer, and to lower this you would want material with higher R ratings (such as insulation). I think this is what the gaskets on the throttle body spacer does.

Thermal conductivity is the measurement for how much a material transfers heat, and is independent of color. Aluminum has a very high heat transfer coefficient, it will absorb and transfer heat very easily (as do most metals). Plastics, generally, have lower heat transfer coefficients, and will create barriers for heat transfer.

Insulating an air intake would lower the amount of heat transferred to the intake, and thus lower the amount of heat transferred to the incoming air, allowing for gains.

I just realized a typed out way to much crap just now...

The more research i did on them i dont buy them. They may work for a little bit but the computer will compensate and make them the same as regular. Plus they have been melting in boosted cars.

Yeah. On that note who wants to buy some nst pullies?

[RaidenSI]

well i got a good turn out of the lil mods i did lol i put down 191 HP w/ 140 TQ with modded Stock Intake K&N air filter and throttle body bypass. when i dyno'd first time i did 181 HP with 140 TQ so i gained 10 hp but no TQ

[Riverak21]

Woot!!!!! Good thing. Same intake setup as me and I got the RH to boot.

Can someone tell me a little about this throttle body by-pass?

[Riverak21]

You reroute the coolant from flowing from the block to the throttle body by looping the hose back into the block.

It keeps the throttle body cooler and in turn keeps the intake charge cooler.

You sacrifice cold weather startup, but we are talking extreme climates up north where your throttle butterfly could get frozen or stuck in place.

[jscooter]

jarred what did you pull?

[RaidenSI]

he doesn't want to say lol

[KillerRabbit]

i got jarred covered in the means of cars!!! lol

i pulled 203.3 hp and 148 tq. i am getting rid of the pullies so i will be back up to 206.5hp and 150 tq

[KillerRabbit]

jarreds car is fast now

what is the heat and humidity difference? pullies slowed you down? really?

if so i will not be looking at that anymore....

[KillerRabbit]

just because jarreds run was lower does not mean he lost power from them. there is other issues going on with his car. if anyone wants pullies then jarred is selling them. the pullies show gains, but yet again jarreds si is acting weird.
