For sure with performance, like Kwinana-WA's wind doctor drag strip :-)Quote:

A ram head will seperate the water and heavier particles. It creates high speed air which travels athrough the small openings at the bottom of the slots.
No ram head will pull more water in than not.
Apologies NNB,Quote:

It's an Airtec brand on hers, what's your thoughts on these ones, looks stylish but maybe no good?

No they are fine. As above they are designed for this purpose. Have seen on a few occasions people with full 4" intakes and rear facing snorkel with no ram that pull water into the airbox.Quote:

Could this roof centre facing 'pipe only' system possibly vortex backwards severe rain:-( ?

I prefer the ram head as it reduces the bloody stupid noise and the rain going into my snorkel was a real concern.
Mine is from a truck spare parts place but can be found on ebay.
It is a donaldson ram head.
In theory yes, as Matty mentioned with a properly made Ram head.Quote:

would be good if you could get a good offset ram head over the inner A pillar/windscreen area?
For sure with that ear bending suction:-)Quote:

Further inspection of the Mrs GU (Airtec) just now found her box is actually still wet :-)

Funds are a little tight at the moment and just trying to find some coin to get the dyno done on the 10mm pump.
I know it seems like a waste of money but it's a must do to find out the differences in my build and touch wood if it performs as we hope will gather good stats for other members too.
You mean I gotta wait longer to see what this turbo does....
I'll try and book it in for late next week.Quote:

I'm now rolling into the carport at 100!
Surely andy will help you out with a quick power run.
Maybe if I was getting the pump off him...lolQuote:

Just found this on my phone.
So this must be my last dyno of when I put the front mount intercooler on running 10mm pump on ht18
Booked in for dyno on Wednesday!!!
Nice, awesome that you are doing before and after dyno too mate!!Quote:

Blue is the 10mm pump ht18 4:1 ratios and 33" tyres.
Black is the Borgwarner still on the same 10mm pump 4:6 ratios on 35" tyres.
No tune just as is!
Bring on the 12mm pump!!
That's awesome! Can't wait to see what the beast will do with the 12mm!!
Some small issues there with wastegate control but nothing that cant be rectified easily.
Fark.. 400 NM! !! That's nuts
On a 10mm pump westy is impressive. Can't wait to get the 12mm on!Quote:

Andys peak torque is quite early in the range as well compared to most. For example this one. It makes 50 more kw than andys but the peak torque is 400rpm later
The right mods will make it even better. Take andys for a spin when you see him and see what you think.Quote:
