Wayne's boosted 8 project

There's always the thought in my head too as to which way do you direct the hot air out of the car, up out the bonnet or under the car?

I'm woffling on now

Not really I can see your point , find would need to sit and 45degree angle to flow direct through
A bit like brake disc groove orientation
It dont matter which way they go on unless the separating fins between them are angled or curved

You can always mount them a different way too. I like the leaning back or forward version, helps you fit bigger cores, leave room to guide fresh air into the turbo and you can get rid of the air nice and easy too.

I don't know which is better, hot air over car or under the car. I do know hot air will have an effect on aero but that's beyond my current knowledge

Just been doing some forum reading and most people with rx7s say vmount, I still think that's due to space available for a decent sized core and piping length but I came across this gem of a post

IT doesn't matter what style you use, just get cold air into the turbo and it will be more efficient. Colder air in equals colder air out.

Just seen this pop up on youtube, a DBW throttle upgrade for the rx7 might be worth a watch for you?

Fair play to them yanks
Had an e mail last Friday Eve to say it was finished and going out that day
Text Saturday morning to pay import taxes
Was at my door at 11.15 Monday morning
Shame we were both in work .
Hell of a service from DHL - bravo
Had a bardy back last few days so slow progress


Edges could do with a bit of very slight cleaning but it’s here
And , they come with instructions too
Anyways , it’s on , 38 mm offset forward so shouldn’t  need much battering when installed in the next car

I’m pretty sure we can cut that corner off and fabricate it as it’s a strong chunky bit of stuff that the hoist hook is bolted to .
Now waiting on throttle body adaptor which left Russia on 9th May and the oil filter relocation which should be here early next week
Next
Find an intercooler for V mount and get the manifold altered
Wayne’s happy

I bet you could use that bracket and an rx8 subframe to throw a rew into an mx5
