you can keep it,...i hope to never need it again
you can keep it,...i hope to never need it againThat would be awesome Mike, I will send it back as soon as I am through using it. Thanks!
Lol 2 separate thoughts, I did rebuild the blower today. I am going to make a new inlet plenum with the blower installed on engine while it's still on the stand. This way I know it all fits.
I was injecting WMETH before the blower, downside is i have to cool the entire blower housing before the effects are truly noticable on intake temps.. IE it takes ALOT of WMETH to cool this mother down, 17GPH of it.Your intake being what it is, I cannot see how it would be crazy difficult to put either:
A. Install nozzle plate for a cooling shot of (you choose).
B. An after-cooler heat exchanger of some sort.
My thought is probably what you already know. The best place to inject water mist is in the space where the air charge has the most room to expand.I was injecting WMETH before the blower, downside is i have to cool the entire blower housing before the effects are truly noticable on intake temps..

I was thinking of do one nozzle upstream of the blower and one at the discharge/adapter plate to cool the air in the manifold.
Thoughts??
Geez Noobz, you sounded like Professor Proton for a minute there.My thought is probably what you already know. The best place to inject water mist is in the space where the air charge has the most room to expand.
Putting that mixture through the rotor is not desirable for mechanical/displacement reasons and has the least effect. Remember... spraying into the blower is part of your total displacement per revolution. Spraying the inlet has more detriment than on a centrifugal that is not volume limited (velocity increases).
I do see where you are going with this, being a PD pump i effectively loosing displacement but how much???My thought is probably what you already know. The best place to inject water mist is in the space where the air charge has the most room to expand.

Its all about the Q value Dave.... Q= vAGeez Noobz, you sounded like Professor Proton for a minute there.
NEGLIGIBLE
Agreed i was only attempting to quantify the pumping loss, i think the above idea of a spacer to mount the nozzles in will be the fix for this, that is if the spacer does not push the blower pulley into the hood, that is my main concern. I dont think i have a half inch to spare for a spacer.Perhaps but measurable and only one portion of the reason to place it after the discharge port.
Checkout supply houses for agricultural equipment. Spay bar type sprayers and nozzles are very common with farm equipment.hmmmm....... let me do some measuring i may be able to drill a very small through hole in the adapter plate then cross drill and tap the plate to install the nozzles inside the plenum.... I wish the nozzles were not so expensive i would order 4 low flow ones to give me better distribution. I currently have 2 10GPH and 1 7GPH nozzle in my possession.
Don't you mean Willie Nelson?I think we can get Stevie Wonder.
May as well. Micheal Jackson is still on ice.Don't you mean Willie Nelson?
