why is it that cutlers is the only kit that uses new throttle boddies with dual injectors?
Because Dale does everything top notch and he had his own billet throttle bodies made for duals.

Ummm not quite but almost... the volume of the charge tube is proportional to the square of the radius of the tube, so if you double the tube radius, you can 1/4 the length of the tube to get the same volume.
I have been reading this for quite some time and keeping my mouth shut. Have to chime in now. First, the shortest most efficient (easy radius turns, smooth welds, excellent airbox, and all connections and hoses to be top quality including a clamp assembly on the pipe to Y pipe connection) charge tube and turbo dump help to eliminate lag and inefficient means of getting fuel into the burn chamber. It is common sense along with simple physics. This also applies to BOV and any other components as well like boost controls etc.
I would be careful of side mounted charge tubes it was proven to cause problems back when Brad Story designed the kit that twisted is running. Brad quit using the oil injection pump to oil the turbo for a reason and the side mounted air box for a reason you may want to talk with Brad and he can explain what the problems will be in the long run because he is the one that tested these items.
Yes, a larger degree bend in any pipe will slow flow (just a bit)...but it’s hard to imagine this would be a big deal on thses lawnmower engines. I work on equipment that sees 2000PSI in a 48" pipe and over flows over 1 billion cubic feet of gas a day. From what I see and test, a 90 degree elbow will only decrease pressure/flow/temp by .5%…. so this cant really be a big deal on these lawnmower engines.
hatch after that day at tower I understand how you might refer to yours as a "lawnmower engine" LMAO
ti must say, your sled felt a bit slow when i rode it.....must be your wimpy track and picnic basket you have mounted on the back, lol
Let me us talk about this charge tube….the charge tube volume in-between the exit of the turbo charger and intake of the engine is the only thing that needs to be reviewed. So a ½” tube that is 2 foot long will take the same amount of time to equalize X amount of PSI as a 1” tube that is 1 foot long.
Q: why not make a 1” tube twice the distance, and run some of this 1” tube somewhere it can get some cooling…….hummm I got an idea
ummmm, what?
Im talking about ID and you are talking about radius?....radius is half of the ID
read my post a little slower this time...no worries sunshine
Umm again not quite Hatchers, but no worries, sunshine. Since you think it's only important to review the volume of the charge tube, I would think you'd want it reviewed correctly.
The volume of the tube is;
Pi * r squared * length
Or, if you wish to speak in ID, is Pi * (1/2 * ID) squared * length
So you're originally talking about a 1/2" ID 2 foot long charge tube.
You ask why not make it 1" ID 1 foot long.
The reason you don't is because by doing do you effectively go from a volume of 0.0625"" * 3.1415 * 24"= 4.71225 cubic inches (that's your 1/2" ID two foot long charge tube) to a volume of
0.25"" * 3.1415 * 12" = 9.4245 cubic inches. (that's your 1" ID 1 foot long tube volume)
You want me to re-read you message again? OK I will but every time I do you just end up wrong again, sunshine.
You want to know why those #'s work out that way?
It's because the volume is still proportional to the square of the radius of the tube. It's not a linear relationship. Or as you prefer, the square of 1/2 the ID. Same thing.
Maybe you'll want to re-read my post, this time a little bit slower.
I like the idea of the cold air intake vs. under hood intake.
Freak - do you know if anyone has run temp probes for intake air temps and for charge air temps in an underhood vs. cold air intake scenario to see the actual differential?
I wonder if the turbo compression process adds so much heat to the charge air that the delta in temp from underhood and outside becomes insignificant in the big picture or not?
