Thats mint mate a good time better than i thought it would have been
What chassis mods you got?
coilovers and a antilift kit
was setup by the best i spose haha
im jus uploading videos and picture as we speak

well man great advice on better times but drums is spot on there an insulator stops the transfer of temperature between contact points
i do refrigeration and its very important to lag ( insulate ) the cold liquid as ambient heat transfer is very fast i thinks about 30% loss in cold temp and higher if higher temp
it doesnt make sense not to insulate the cold air pipe as any efficient cooling done by the intercooler is lost by the heat in the engine bay
hot-cold expansion if i have two cylinders same size @1 bar pressure of air there both the same? it depends on temp if one is @10 degc and the other @30 degc the one thats colder has more air because its compacted which means the colder the air entering the better the combustion which will result in more power and both @1bar

pig666eon said:it mite not be loads but i just wanted to know the reason for him not to do it im not saying he is wrong he prob has alot more experience than me on the subject but it just goes agenst my logic and understanding
again man love the advice
Yeah i agree entirely, thanks

its because aluminum intercooler pipes are realy good at getting rid of heat, i know they are also good at conducting heat. but they let the heat rise alot quicker than conducting it. so insulating it could help but the heat from the compressor discharge 55deg to as high as 85 deg going through the piping wont be able to transfer through the piping and in to the engine bay.
i dont work with aluminum often, lagging(insulation) is generaly for metals or plastics that conduct hot or cold air and dissipate them too.
its a win and lose situation me thinks
