JD:
I gave you a call to make sure you didnt give a shit about the fact that I was calling and to affirm you wouldnt answer. You DID NOT dissapoint!!!
THANK YOU!
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=2356568&posted=1#post2356568SG, I am tired of arguing with people on my threads on my vast experience with hundreds of high powered factory backed and enthusiast cars versus the singular experience on their own personal cars. You are titled to your opinion, but please refrain being so directive when you have no idea what level of expertise that my company has. I doubt that you are you even aware that my setup was replicated for a customer with schedule 40, and the same "glowing" results, after some pulls on the dyno? The numbers are in my dyno vault on this individual.
EDITED for a nicer softer aproach.
I respect your efforts Bisi, but you act like youre the first guy thats made power with a turbo on this build. You seem to be offended by some of us that have made that kind of power on multiple setups stating experience.
If you have 40 glowing... Id be interested in hearing some EGT numbers and what KIND of ignition timing youre running (in addition to pressure measured say maybe at the turbine logged agaiinst boost?), but knowing you wont likely say as its your MO (and to a SLIGHT degree I understand)... It is what it is. You having an engingeering degree and all... Youre going to argue that thinwall material is going to reach apoint to where its glowing a easily as material thats around 3 times as thick??? Seriously??? We dont have to even get into the metalurgy of the 16 gauge youre using.... I get that too... It doesnt change the dynamic of the different thickness of the two materials.
I think there are some of us that have a hell of alot of a better idea than you think we do. Maybe its you that should try coming at us like some of us actually know whats going on... Im just saying.
As for limitations... The omnly limitation is one one sets on himself. Sorry if I offend you by not swingning on your nuts. At the end of the day, I wouldnt think you care.
Regardless of material thickness, it has the same specific heat, and while you'd think a thicker walled tube would dissipate temperature more, it has more mass to retain temperature as well. Being a chemical engineer, I'm sure Bisi could explain the thermodynamic principles behind it easily. But I doubt you, or many other people, would understand it enough for him to bother.
You sure about that sir??? Im pretty well versed.
Probably alot better than you (or he) thinks.... There are a number of people looking round at the various threads talking about it in closed circles that are pretty well versed.....
Would YOu care to enlighten me??? Us?
Please, feel free.
