Re: Cleaning Charge Air Cooler...
xman03 Now I have got to call you out.
1. Drinking with two straws is much easier and lots faster. Done it lots.
2. On the same day, same dyno, same car, and the same hour I tested my DCAI design ovet the CAI; before Rob adopted it. It decreased the inlet pressure loss by 1 PSIG and gave my car a 25 HP gain below 2500 rpm. The dyno charts are in my gallery and the photos of me uncovering the second inlet made the test easy to go back and forth. That is 1 PSIG at the throttle body inlet when I was using one TB> THE DCAI is for more power at the low end and street response. All friction losses are additive and therefore to be avoided.
3. I am running TWO throttle bodies now to evaluate the response and power gain, need to get to a dyno, been overcome by events for now. But two throttle bodies open twice as fast a one and the off idle response is proof, there is a utube test of this on my site.
Allow me to be pisssed about you posting as if you have some knowledge of the inlet and its benefits. I have done extensive testing and even cross coupled my intakes to reduce the restriction of the pipes coming up from the wye connector at the innercooler outlet. Further I have put out my videos to prove or disprove my beliefs, currently going to prove that a single pass parallel IC gives better cooling with one of my supercoolers. You might do some reviewing of the work that has been done, leading to the development of the CAI , the DCAI, the oil separater, and supercooler that have been sold to the forum. I even tested and adopted the vented hood for better cooling as I need it when driving WOT up to 60 seconds on the autocross track.
