Compound boost: EFR 7670 into Coldside FFS W/ H20/Meth into 10.5:1 VVT Built Engine
#84
I intend to do this with a toyota SC14 and something big and cheap (T04 or something).
The sc14 will be mounted below the turbo, allowing intercooling of both, I also intend to spray before the blower.
SC14 also has a bypass for experimenting with it. Although I know an SC14 can do 400whp on the right setup on its own, so I dont see it becoming a restriction unless I went for the ultimate record.

... on what?
An LSx that made 400whp n/a?
Or are we talking about magical upside-down dynos again?

[QUOTE=Savington;1032817]I think making serious power (500whp) when your final compressor stage is unintercooled is a pipe dream, no matter what's happening in between the turbo and the supercharger. QUOTE]
With that setup? Alcohol injected, gasoline should only be used for cleaning parts.

I haven't posted any HP numbers here. I said I might dyno it. Well see! I do think I'm gonna need to do something about the heat as you said. I don't think water method alone will cut it.

Also except cars with tube frames where there is a lot of space to mount heat exchangers, are people really intercooling both stages separately? It occurs to me that sending very high heat into the cooler will only serve to raise its efficiency, and allow less total intercooler than running 2 smaller ones, one for each stage.

After seeing how much interest there is in me putting it on a dyno, I might just have to! Cause I need to impress people on the internet with my dyno sheet, ya know.
On topic, I'm going to have to do some math to estimate the charge temps post-blower with varying levels of boost going into the blower. My big question is, will spraying enough water/meth into the blower keep temps down enough? I would like to think that with enough water, yes, but I got a feeling it's not gonna work as well as I need it to. I would guess I could spray enough water into the blower that it would knock temps down to 212*F more or less with water alone, with water/meth it could be lower. But I think it needs to be down to 120*F to make good power/good driveability with 93 Octane and my compression ratio.
How much boost was magna running with water/meth and no WI?
I feel pretty confident E85 + water injection would work. I just don't want to switch to E85 unless I absolutely have to.

If I can't make it work with water/meth and 93, I could also drop the compounding and bypass the SC up top. But that would add a bit of complexity getting the control system working for a smooth transition between the two. But that would let me feed 100% intercooled boost to the motor up top. I don't want to do this unless I have to though.

I may dyno it to see what it makes. I'm hoping I can keep it compounded and not have to bypass the SC. If I can do that, it should be easier to tune the boost curve and have pretty good torque everywhere without a dip (if I have to bypass SC there will likely be a dip when it happens).

Normally, yes. Spraying a ton of it into the blower would probably drop charge temps a good bit though since the air would be really hot and the SC should mix the water well with the charge. I plan to measure charge temps after turbo, after IC and after blower, so if I get all that setup, I'll be able to log the delta T out of the SC with the WI to see how well it's working.
