Intake manifold upgrade kit

[MvM]

Hoping for a Autorotor version. Is that in the works? If not, no problem but let me know so I can make my own.

Do you know if the sheilds will work with the Autorotor?

Same here, I would like to get an Comptech Autorotor version.

Adnan, as said before, if you need a Autorotor for measurements, I might be able to help you.
It's on the car right now of course, but since I want to get one of these gaskets anyway.

I've just received my IAT temperature and boost sensor for the Zeitronix unit and am having an appointment tomorrow with my mechanic to see how we are going to install them.

How would the turbo differ from the NA version?

How is this different from the Prospeed kit? just curious.

Do you do a version without the middle VVIS divider?

Check out the first page,
It details how the construction of the plates are completely different and that we added additional heat-shielding that goes right up to the cylinder head casting.

Gasket system is also very different, the ASM kit doesn't deform and buckle to make a seal like the prospeed kit, we use a headgasket style rigid construction.
which doesn't harm airflow and isn't effected by torquing the bolts.

Thermal shields for the cylinder heads are also available individually.

Where does one find info (pictures, pricing, how to order) for these extra thermal shields?

Got info (pricing, how to order) for the intake manifold pieces (without the plenum piece as I'm CTSC/Whipple and that is not ready yet)?

 

[scammy]

Adnan put me down for the complete NA kit and let me know when you want the Paypal done with freight to down here
Cheers

Is there a link to the group buy?

In for the Full IM upgrade kit, Naturally Aspirated (VVIS).

 

[A.S. Motorsport]

I'll set up a separate GB page right now,

Latzke,
You can purchase the cylinder head shields separate, I do have Whipple version ready!

Will you be posting pictures of the Whipple Version Heat shields? From the thread I'm unsure of where this will be located and I'm curious if it will interfere with the bypass hose.
What all is included in the Whipple SC kit? I'm guessing the Manifold to cylinder plates are additional for each kit, correct?

Thanks for the info

 

[A.S. Motorsport]

the Whipple version has a spacer plate between the manifold and supercharger, and two thermal shields on the cylinder heads.

Question for the collective brain trust here...

How much of the heat in our SC (whipple/autorotor/sos) setups are from heat soak vs heat generated by the SC itself (friction of compressing air)?

In other words, how much total benefit do we expect from these pieces?

 

[A.S. Motorsport]

You'll limit heat from the aluminum castings transferring to the manifold which heats up,
By far the main factor in the supercharger is the compression heat from the air being compressed in the lobes.

Water injection or inter cooler would be the main solution next to a properly sized SC unit.

Please also put me on the list. Very interested in this product!

autorotor version now ready

autorotor version now ready

Could you post some pictures please.

Also, how much does the complete kit raise the CTSC? I am worried about the fitment under the SOS targe brace.

How much can you raise the blower before it hits the brace? 10mm? 20mm?

 

[A.S. Motorsport]

just the insulator kit will raise the blower unit 10 mm,
Mvm, shall i put you on the list?

Hi Adnan,
Can you send me a picture as well (or better, post one here to see for all ).

And YES, I am interested

FYI, it would seem that an Autorotor CTSC cannot be raised by much more than 10mm before it would interfere with the SOS or Comptech Targa brace.

 

[RYU]

Should account for some engine movement as well.

Water injection or inter cooler would be the main solution next to a properly sized SC unit.

So is there a possibility here that the SC will loose the intake manifold as a heat sink (especially if the manifold is isolated from the heads by the lower gasket and so itself less hot)?

Different question, but similar... If the SC is getting pretty hot, I see mentions of IATs up to if not over 250 in RYU's "Meth kit with CTSC" thread. Any possibility the SC makes very latent/distant use of the engine cooling system (heat transferred to manifold to heads to coolant)?

Probably dumb questions...but these IATs being tossed around are indeed hotter than the engine should be running...and I'll never know how dumb without asking people who know more.

 

[A.S. Motorsport]

If you look trough the "Heatsoaking Fuel Rail" thread you can see that the manifold gets hotter than the S/C anyway.
The blower unit is 25F cooler.

i believe that was with the water injection before the TB. the IM is only slightly warmerthan blowerin my steup with no water injection.

i suspect the phenolic spacers will help. ceramic coating and gold leaf heat shields will be my last resort.

 

[latzke]

ceramic coating and gold leaf heat shields will be my last resort.

What would you ceramic coat? IM?
Where would you apply heat shield?

 

[RYU]

I would ceramic coat the IM (still undecided). I will apply the heatshield on the belly of the IM once I get some prototype parts from Adnan.
