Maybe you can educate us and let us know what laminar means? thanks

at steady state, tau(shear stress of fluid/gas passes by perpendicular to the cylinder wall) = mu(coeffiecient of friction)*du/dt = 0. du/dt is the change of fluid/gas velocity. At this state, the boundry layer of the fluid reaches uniform flow, hence the term laminar comes into play. Laminar flow will behave like an air foil where the flow on top and bottom of the air foil meet at the end without any turbulent/eddies. That's as far i can remember from fluid mechanic course. I know it can be drived further into energy equation using Bernoulli's equation.





Set,

I would also like to say SHUT THE F*CK UP! to Tallen. I greatly appriciate Animosity's help, and I'm sure others do too. And you shouldn't talk sh*t to somewone who is running a hair off of 11's, when you're stuck in the 14's. (Just a word of advice) Hey you might learn a thing or two.

Need a Kleenix? WAHHH
a: Umm, I was first off just inquiring if he meant laminar or linear. Not being an ass there, or at least I didnt mean to be one. Sorry if I offended you rqzik, I was thinking of the meaning of laminar I knew.
b: What do times people are running have to do with breaking the forum rules? Advertising is for the classifieds. I've had my car a year and I am a poor college student. Take a moment and use that thing sitting on your shoulders. If you have a problem, PM me instead of whining.

 

[DeezNutsForYou]

Giving people good deals on hard to find parts is not breaking the rules. He doesn't need to advertise, he's not making any money from it. He is just stating that he has them, because many people want them, but have not clue where to get them.

Anyway, please move on with the discussion.

 

[Animosity4G63]

Yeah you would sure thing this would be an appropriate thread because people using the gm MAF are the ones that need them. Thanks for sticking up for me deeznuts. But, we must understand Tallen is still young and has some growing up to do.

 

[focusedrage]

i havent read this whole GIANT thread, so i dont know if anyone has asked this yet but:

I plan on running dsm link for tunning and logging, and i wonder if this maft thing will work with it? im not very fermilior, jsut a simple question

 

[ybrik]

They work just fine together.

 

[focusedrage]

awsome, which should be gotten first?

 

[focusedrage]

wow...

FINALY, i read it all, and all i have to say is this

ramchargers = awsome, Bob and Mike, you guys are gods, and ill be getting this as soon as money alows, gonna do the blow by setup and rig up a cool coild air intake.

awsome, cant wait.

 

[bearman]

maybe a better description of laminar flow in our context would be:
the tendency of a fluid (liquid or gas) to hug the walls of the piping (or coupling, in this case) that it is flowing through. the faster the flow the harder the flow hugs the walls.
so if the coupler has a hump in it, then there will be more turbulence and flow restriction than a reducing coupling without a hump.
remember biger piping means slower flow speed and less restriction.
also remember that there is a need for hump hoses, where there will be movement between the two pipes.
hope this helps

belive this was deiscussed, they cause problems, also if you consider how much more you will flow with the stock 3" you really dont need that, and its 300 somebucks, while a stock can cost like 35

Thanks for the nice words. I am no longer with Ramchargers however. Support for the Translator and all our other new products can be got from me at my new company www.fullthrottlespeed.com (not up yet) [email protected] for questions and tech support. phone 586 790 4406
Thanks

No longer with ramchargers? What happened, if you don't mind? I just ordered the translator, I don't know if I'm privileged to know. Why is support elsewhere?

 

[zerofreez]

The instructions say nothing about plugging in this extra purple wire that i have on my 1.3v translator. Where does that go.

Also what cas wire do i hook up the white translator wire to???

This is for a 95 talon.



Does anyone know if the instructions are different cause my instructions are for v1.1 and my translator is v1.3

I am the source for these products and distribute them. When I worked at Ramchargers it came from there. Before Ramchargers I owned a company called Modern Musclecar. I decided it was best for me to go back out on my own. We have no hard feelings towards each other and still work together but since I do the support it need to come here.

Awesome. Good luck.

It actually does say on the instructions... The purple wire is for an aux. system such as nitrous, alcohol injection etc... So if you dont have an extra thing like that just leave the purple wire sitting alone. Its nice to have incase you do get an extra goodie sometime down the road...

And i doubt the instructions make a diff, its just 2 plugs and one splice. Btw if you have a hard time finding the cas to splice into, its right by the top left corner of the valve cover.

 

[talontsi01]

Im installing my maft with a 3" gm maf on my 1g talon. I was wondering where the white wire should be spliced in.

 

[Dan2]

Read the instructions.

It was one of the wires on the CAS (the round electrical thingy coming from your head/valve cover on the passenger side)

 

[bigjunk]

Has anyone heard about this new translator plus. I just found it on fullthrottle but they do not say much about it. Is this a new unit that replaces the maft or is this a seperate control unit. Also will this work on a dsm. Thanx

[nine5raptor]

It is not for us.

 

[bigjunk]

well that is no good at all then. Thanx for the information.
