Thread: NUBWORKS ABA LRI Intermanicooler AWIC build.

  1. 12-23-2011 10:06 AM #1
    Take a good look at the LRI, I am having fabricated. Long runners similar to the USRT unit I could not afford. This should really wake up my Built ABA w/ 270 cam, and sealed airbox with cold air feed and velocity inlet in the lower grille.

    original thread.

    I cannot wait till this is finished.

    Also going on this motor, is a polished G60 Valve cover, t3/t4 .50 cold side. .63 hot side. and LRI dual plenum manifold w/ integrated AWIC with icebox and Bosch cobra Pump.

    Will be using C2's 42lb. fueling kit.






    I cannot take credit for the fabrication.

    Should have the manifold installed by December.

But you can see the stacking in the pictures, and the last pic with the new bit... gonna try and port tomorrow night

Have a good thanksgiving man

    great news, thanks for the update.



    Used a 3/8"plate this time, and bigger welds! Gonna try and get it drilled out today

    The pics below are from someone elses build but we will design something similar, mostly Justin not me...

    Thinking of doing something similar

    Any thoughts

    i think you want this one..... then i can either cut both sides off, or we can even use the one side if you wanted.... i think i would rather cut both off and make everything, but thats up to you.... let me throw a tape up with the manifold so you can see how long it is.

    Me thinks that we need to first take about 1.25 inches out of the runners length at the bottom of the runners near the intake flange.

    Its a step back to make future progress much easier, fitment wise.

    Then build it similar to this picture below, maybe a small D shaped plenum connected to another plenum like the one on the first ABA manifold you built with the core inside.

    Made some real progress last night on the boost plumbing, still need my intake manifold for final mockup.

    No critiques?

    Eventually I want all the boost plumbing to be vbanded and without the silcone couplers and tbolt clamps.

    Im gonna criteaque it a little... but it will help you out Gotta wait for further devolopment though!

    My only concern would be clearance off the frame rails?? Looks like its about of the exact level.

    I thought about dumping the wastegate out the hood, I will swap the manifold over the right way.

    I just need another silcione conncector, the instake plumbing does not fit quite right without the manifold flipped.

    Just a rough sketch, but thats the idea I'm hoping for.

    Your pretty damn good at drawing too, but that looks like a smart setup...should fit without any clearance issues with the hood as long as its on a tight angle like you sketched

  24. 01-16-2012 11:34 AM #25
    Thats the thing, I did not take angle measurements, and the scale is slightly off.

    Looks like a good application for laminova cores.

    Too costly, unless you have a hook up somewhere.

    First pic, just for size compare and layout, there is about 1/2" i can go down

    angled a little... notice where still really high! Measurment is from bottom of the head, it is also sitting flat on the table, not at angle like the block
    I'm hoping we can chop the core down a bit, or I may just get him another core to work with.

    I may just source you a thinner core, and sell that one off, if its too much extra work.
    I saw one on silicone intakes that was 3.5" not 4.5. Hp rating is down though...... No cant make thinner, I can't modify core at all! I might be able to sell this one I have another guy that was interested ill send him a message if u want
    Try and sell it off if you can.

    How about sourcing a bell AWIC core and building off of that.

    Let me take measurements tonight with pics for you and we will get the perfect one..... I'll have to make the water tanks too, bit of work involved just so u know, but it's gonna look 10 times better then the first way we were going
    Sell off the first AWIC, and the funds are yours to work on the extra fab work.
    Thats exactly what I was gonna
    Say... Nice

    If that's a type 8 or type 4 from frozenboost and uncut, I will take it off your hands. Just have justin throw it on my pile and add it to my tab.

  32. 01-17-2012 04:47 PM #33
    I believe its a type 4.

    I'll have justin hook you up.

    Ok...... we want

    B=2.90"
    C= 12"

    $156.00
    A600029120


    Double check that flow diagram, and you'll see why its what i posted

    We can go to the 3.10 thick, and gain 50 more cubic feet of air, but id rather have the hood clearance! Im guessing you would too.

    [QUOTE=USRT]US Rally Team Hahaha, credit goes to Justin and other USRT gangstas, too. So, when is this beast going to be finished, Dr. Ivey? The flow dynamics of an IC core just before the plenum have got us scratching our heads. None of the conventional formulas we use here "work" with the IC so close. It's fun to be a "n00b" again and watch with no specific expectations.
