Hey check this out. They lower the price 100 bucks every december cause it's there slow month. Makes for a good winter purchase.

I wish that someone would make a 1G kit with an endtank design like the DV/DT 2G kit.

It doesn't take a whole lot of knowledge about fluid dynamics to realize how superior the flow characteristics of those those endtanks are to the vast majority of what's available on the market today.

So very true

You could always buy the cast GReddy (or maybe it was Apexi) endtanks and custom fabricate a 1G setup around them.

My dejon intake rusted on the inside. I wouldnt buy another steel one.

We already did this once for the 3s. Making endtanks for a 1g wouldn't be that difficult, but with the majority of dsmer's going for the cheapest intercooler setup available (remember intercoolers don't matter from a previous thread last week?), what would the point of a shop to invest capital into designing yet another dsm intercooler kit be?
Intercooler endtank design plays a VERY IMPORTANT roll in the cooling efficency and flow of your intercooler system.

That dvdfab stuff looks pretty damm good!

I agree, but I am also pretty sure that they would sell you the endtanks if you really wanted. I dont think it would be too hard to make them fit on a smaller(width) core and put it in a 1g.

The Greddy endtanks do looks very nice however, without seeing some CFD maps, I do not believe that they can compete with the DV/DT endtanks.

Did you run any CFD simulations on your endtanks?

On a side note, the textbook that Albert got many of his images out of for that report was written by a group of Iowa State professors.

When I get the cash, I am going to approach Albert about prototyping a kit for my Laser.

Wow Jakey, that man really did his research and it definitely shows in his design. I wonder how come the other big competitors arent taking after his examples? I am sure it costs more but if the product is that much better it could easily be gained back.

BTW, what do Iowans know;)

Ya want to do my stress/strain homework for me?

90% of the DSM'ers have the Toonerz mentality of believing that everything on eBay and billybuttfuckintercoolers.com is God's gift to the forced induction world. Like Swanny said, it's not worth a company to invest money into.

You'd be surprised. :D

Mechanics of materials is easy. ;)
