Oilsmoke Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Broke You are telling me you Never See or Heard the Term Swap Cooler? Man that's just wild. Stan I just installed mine in the Kitchen window 1 1/2 hours. Muhehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Nope, I obviously have to get out of my bubble more often. Maybe we just don't use anything along those lines around here. Sounds interesting, what advantages does something like that have over AC. It sounds like something that would be a benefit in hot climates, we don't get that hot here, just humid as shit. There is already so much moisture in the air here in the summer, maybe they just don't work well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes your house "clammy" and kind of sticky and damp. Works well on hotter days as long as the relative humidity isn't too high. If its high humidity, there is no evaporation to cool the air. (Evaporation is essentially a cooling process). For the most part I'd take central A/C over this shit anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesw Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 this that what i would call a water cooler system. you basically have a squiral cage fan that blows thru some mesh or netting with water being dripped over the mesh. if so. they do work basically like your body sweating, but it will make your house clamy like stan said and my god the dust and allergies that it spreads. i went to my uncles house with one of those. 3 hr later i was a coughing my ass off, screwed up my allergies bad. puts way too much moisture in the air.

Shee-Male Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I also thought of doing the exact same thing after seeing one in the readers rides in dirtwheels, and at a recent motorcycle show there was a yellow banshee with the name "Gortez Racing" and it was a trinity 500 w/ a turbo he has raced in the pikes peak challange, he simpley had an internally gated turbo (not sure which one?), a steel airbox w/ carbs and trinity pipes where the stinger tubes were welded into a flange on the turbo, it was supuer simple. I have pics somewhere here, I'll try and post them today. As far as your pump goes you can get a hi-press pump from Carter it's inline with 5/16 fittings and is about 50$ Have you had the megasquirt up and running? Let me know how that thing works.

. Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 the whole turbo sizing thing on here makes me want to rip my hair out. He's got 4 turbos sitting there to put on an engine that he's building as a PROJECT. Once he gets the thing built he can decide if the turbo is to big, or what turbo to use etc. Things you might want to look into in the future are a variable turbo with an adjustable blow off that you can program through the rpm band. 0-5% boost off the line up to 100% down the rpm band. Dont know if you've seen the kit yet but its battery kit for the shee. Would be nice to be running that with a charged battery just in case the whole system starts pulling more than the stator can handle. The one guy on here had the setup cause of all the lights he was running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Alright guys, here's the turbo I plan to use on my shee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
