NUBWORKS ABA LRI Intermanicooler AWIC build

[jettred3]

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.
http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...7#post74435917














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.

Updates, I am going with a larger plenum, IAC provision, and 1.8t IAT sensor.

Should have the manifold installed by December.

Alright dude.... check it out... With the new bit, I had to stack the welds, and make some meat around the runners.... 5 passes around each pipe! * In order to do that, you gotta weld, then let cool, weld then let cool, *or i would warp it all to hell, *took me about 2 hours! * But you can see the stacking in the pictures, *and the last pic with the new bit... gonna try and port tomorrow night

Updates

Alright... did about 3 passes on each.... broke the bit on the last one.... ****in arm is bleeding.... *you owe me!!!! *lol * * Anyway i figured that was a sign to stop.... i ordered 2 bits when i ordered so were ok still.... i still have another 1/2" to lower the bit, so they should really grow in size when i lower it! * ill try and do some more in the morning! *Have a good thanksgiving man

got new runners on and plenum plate on..... *gonna drill and do all the plate welding tomorrow after work

*

great news, thanks for the update.

*


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

Sweet!...... * *Dude, *i didnt get **** done today on your manifold..... *I can tell you all the reasons in the world, and im not makin stuff up either, *i have some bad luck!! * Anyway * saturday i should make good progress on it..... *Also for taking so damn long, and i really hate it. * *Ill do that vband stuff free of charge.

*

Thanks Justin.

*
Dude!! Check it out!!! Couple little spots I need to fix... * The mouths are 3" diameter!

Updates







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

AWIC intake manifold for ABA motor
MUST use the ABF alternator setup
core is from Bell, rated for 400+whp
$800 shipped

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.

Neat. I like it!

Loved everything I just seen.

[jettred3]

Thanks guys, my built aba with scat rods and ross pistons is making either rod knock or piston slap noises so I'm gonna have to rebuild or swap in a new bottom end before I boost it.

I have a spare motor on a stand and am gabbing the down pipe for my mk1 as well.

If anyone wants to do some good reading check out Bentley publishers maximum boost by corky bell of bell inter coolers.

Looks goood

Please vote for me, i'm having rod knock.

Just throw a stock bottom in there, I have 1 laying around in my garage, it will make 300+whp all day with a proper tune

[jettred3]

that's my back up plan.

[jettred3]

[QUOTE=jettred3]

I think i just got the AWIC... not gonna open till tomorrow..... got a few other projects laying on the table i gotta finish up.... ill send you some thoughts and stuff tomorrow

You don't need to worry about the iac I'm gonna delete it.

it doesn't look like that anymore:

I'd like the throttle body to mount like Ed's car equal distribution for all four cylinders...

I have some ideas as well.

[jettred3]

I like the idea of the intercooler integrated into the intake, but will that actually fit in a mk1? The mock up pics are in a mk3. If I understand what you're doing here correctly

It will fit, we are building it from scratch.

PLEASE TAKE the time to vote for me.



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

So.... got some pics. IC is big, just like i thought it was gonna be. When i recomended the IC we picked, it was based on the first pics you showed me, from bulldogger.... with the core in front of the runners. So keep that in mind when we figure out what were doing!

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

We will end up running a bell core, and selling off the core pictured up.

[AJmustDIE]

This is just the type of manifold I wanted to build, but I wanted ITB's as well.


ROUGH draft.

[jettred3]

ITBs would be killer.

Bit much though.

and then hook up the ac somehow to cool the IC

[jettred3]

Enough Ice in the 2.6 gallon resevoir, a good pump, and maybe a little CO2, and the core will be sufficiently cool.

The CO2 spray would only be for making "a one shot cooler?, where The intake charge*is cooled so much it is actually below ambient temperature before entering the plenum.

It might be liquid nitrogen, the drag guys use i'm not sure but basically you can in theory make an AWIC more than 100 percent efecient and actually lower temps below Ambient IAT...

I did in my daily (check my build) about a week ago, with no ice in the reservoir I came a couple degree's down below ambient air temps.

Then just imagine what ice in the tank could do.

INDUCTION TEASER 7"Velocity Stack will be mounted in DS Headlight spot.



This will connect to the BBM airbox, pictured earlier in thread.



Mounted in headlight bracket, ready to go.

For Day use and Dyno/ shows only.

I mocked up my Kinetic manifold like that and the turbo compressor hit the firewall.
That was on a MK3.

Was it the firewall or the raintray it hit?

Might have to bust out a hammer and a dremel.

[jettred3]

alright..... Im gonna highly recomend a billet fuel rail, and a FPR that is moved out a bit, or remote mounted check out how the core sits, off set because of the FPR




thats the first problem, shouldnt be a big deal, next decision, do you want the core, close to the plenum, or with a couple inches back? Sorry for crappy pics, tranny and oil are all over my work bench, i didnt wanna get the manifold stuff all dirty!
core is very nice BTW as it should be for the price!

Making some nice progress.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok this last pic is rough shape of plenum, the front of it is 12" from the head..... Im a little worried about overal height and the hood, sinse the hood slopes torward the front...... Half of me wants to make a card board template that we would be able to attatch and let you shut your hood and see if it smashes.... id hate to do all the work and be cuttin stuff apart, this is the problem with doin this type of stuff and not having a car here!


Also, water ports, do you want both on one side? or One on each side? Something is telling me both on the driverside might be best..... but not sure where your htinkin about setting all your stuff up. Let me know... im not doin anything else till we get a plan.

Oh and valve cover.... i dont think we mess with it, i think the way its gonna be shaped it should keep air speed up for the pressure drop its gonna see when it opens up... and the velocity for it hitting those cooling fins? This is all just dumb guy garage theory though

Making some more progress, any thoughts on the above?....

[lbubbyj]

Firewall for sure. I ended going with a SPA manifold so that I could keep the compressor pointed at the driver's side.

Mind sharing a couple photos of your setup?

[lbubbyj]

Pics? I'm not that good at interweb yet. Here is a link to my build: http://www.dubsnorth.org/forum/viewt...11068&start=30

Only one OK pic of the turbo manifold setup on page 3.

I like that manifold your building.

good stuff, thanks man.

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.

Not much to see really...... but here you go.....

Manifold is up for sale, taking serious offers.

[cifdig]

Looks great!! I remember back in 2007 bum had an awic intake mani for the aba but stop making it. It looked insane, infect I believe a couple people brought it. Gl keep up the good wrk

Plenum build begins, I may have to source a smaller rad, any suggestions?

[jettred3]

Stripping the motor down for a rebuild tonight, pretty sure its just rod bearings.

[JBETZ]

crazy...looks good
like the air filter shield you are using

[AJmustDIE]

I like the gold color!
