From reading your self-serving posts so far, you’re the last person I would consider “right” on anything.
lol alky
plus I like your idea on intercooling better.
Is this still the setup Jones?
I honestly don’t understand why this debate has been going on for so long. The principle of bleeding the screws up top and removing the air is pretty well understood. Removing the cap on the lower reservoir will not allow air to instantly enter the system upstream as jspazz showed in his bill nye the science guy experiment lol. This is fairly simple.
Your proposal of re-engineering everything sounds wayyyy over the top. There is not necessarily room for your solution and who wants to have some massive ugly container in their engine bay just so that it can sit high? People also want their installs to be stealth/OEM for various reasons. If you look at my car you’d have no idea I have a CPS.
What we are most likely seeing is an installation shop that does not know how to properly install the CPS system/bleed the new blower. The criteria for being a “magnuson” installer was probably that they moved lots of APR products, not that they are a good competent shop. Or maybe a few of the techs are brand new 18 year old guys who still have lots to learn.
This is all pretty comical…lots of fail in this thread.
I’d give up Jspazz, I think you are wasting time on this one. He actually only wants someone to tell him how right he is and how he single handedly saved the APR1740 kit from failure. At least we now know his credentials though… :o
ooooohh…engineer catfight!
Bernanks, the scientific process generally involves proving a thesis doesn’t it? Let’s see if it is proven right first before we measure you up for the championship nerd belt.
If you can’t handle one guy (jspazz) disagreeing with your thesis, and are going to bolt from the forum after a week as a result, forum life may not be for you lol.
p.s. wouldn’t it be Bernanke’s Beard?
Did, ended up moving on from there a while back. Working in thin film optical coatings now, interesting stuff. The steel plant had some cool equipment, 45 MMBtu/hr furnaces, 56,000 ton closed die forging press, fork trucks that could pick up 15 tons, 100 ton high bay cranes, 1 million+ enclosed space with 80-100ft ceilings, deepest construction foundation in north america, most powerful piece of manufacturing equipment in the western hemisphere.
Sak…he’s as much an engineer as I am a financial analyst…seems piping designer by the looks of it. Just like what you do, analysis, research, and learning pays off and is respected…not preconceived outcomes like “I just KNOW it’s gonna be 25% better - just look at it”.
Although with that handle, now I’m curious if he is even financially educated.
Lol that’s some hot industrial dirty talk right there…I’m getting a woodrow. Sounds ridiculously massive. The only interesting things about working here in pharma is the occasionally ridiculous cost for pound of product (some over seven figures), and the sheer amount of MTBE, toluene, methanol, and ethanol I have access to.
I moved all the engineer catfight stuff from the B8 Stage 1+/2- thread over here.
that’s crazy
Been off this board for a bit. and now I’m responding to an old comment XD
I actually recommended Beard over here as we were chatting on AZ. He’s a technical dude genuinely interested in improving what he can on this platform. Joining a group of like minds would spur some interesting discussion. FWIW he does have a B8, though I suspect all of these things have already been addressed.
I’m going to sit back on this one 'cause I don’t have much to add on the topic of intercooling.
Yeah stick to driving and alignment 
Now that we lost west we need an expert in that
Hey you are ever near TMP to go lapping? or maybe to the last Apex driving day on Oct 15th at CTMP?
Hey you have gchat? Maybe pm me your gchat and lets talk. As for lapping days in Oct…uh, not sure. Probably not. I am done for the season. I got my bbk used and one of the rotors have an uneven transfer layer that I lapped with a few times. There’s no saving it. I need new rotor rings. It’s probably why my fluid still boils even at mosport. You going to those days? I can check out tmp maybe. Esp in one of the winter lapping days. Would be fun hahaha. I recall tmp being really boring to drive in though
Don’t use gmail chat but email or text I’ll PM you. May go CTMP Oct 15, likely NSX, maybe C63 (but I have some oil overheating issues at the track, and it definitely needs either more camber or stiffer sways).
TMP - I go anytime except winter because it’s close. Wed or fri evenings are pretty fun and casual open lapping, even if the track is a little tight and slow. Usually more than a few nice P-, F- or Mc- cars there.
I swapped my brakes back to stock for winter already (my winter wheels dont clear bbk).
TMP would definitely not be any good 
Next year though for sure!!! Would be fun to meet up.
I might try to do an event at mosport next year, would be fun to meet up!
I will be there for that 
I’m joining COMSCC next season. Anyone in this club?
I’ve been scoping out their lap times from their races, and they are very competitive. Looks fun
Bernanksbeard rolls off the tongue better than Bernankes…
Yeah Saki, your right, forum life is not for me, I can’t deal with the way people treat each other on the Internet, so I typically stay away from all social media. It’s also why I’m socially awkward on a forum, I over explain everything, and obsess enough to annoy myself. I was so frustrated, I lost sleep over it lol, so I decided to stay away. As of my last post, every one thought I was a joke, making my work worthless to this site, so I took it another direction, out of the spot light. The only cunty thing I meant to write was the “single handedly” part, I was annoyed no one thought it was relevant and totally dismissed me. Otherwise it was a misunderstanding, my only agenda is to further understand this platform, because I like making my own educated decisions on every single mod that happens to the car. I don’t just trust what random people on the Internet say (unless ur boro, thanks for talking me down from HAS), I need to understand everything involved before I mod. Losing money gets old.
Thanks Boro92, this guy has been the single most informative person I’ve ever talked with on the Internet, I was hoping to find a few more like him. I’ve made many decisions based off the info in his blog.
All the replies I got from my emails were vague, like they are afraid to put anything in writing. I can’t blame them, this whole release has been a disaster. 1 reply said they agree about the tank height and are working with the others to resolve. Another said it was all great info, and the engineers would take it from here. The last never replied in email, so I called in. The guy immediately recognized my email, and told me I was absolutely right. He said, the engineer told him it was the most concise, thorough, and well thought out analysis he had ever received from a potential customer. I imagine they wanna bury this, so I don’t wanna post this guys info and get him in trouble, as he was the most helpful person I dealt with. If Richi would like to contact him, PM me, and I’ll point you in his direction. Otherwise it will eventually be undeniable.
I’m not an engineer, or a financial expert. I’m just an HVAC tech, water loops, heat exchanging, and alternating current is my profession. I typically do not comment on things I don’t know, unless asking a question.
As for my intercooling idea, I noticed the 1740 SC for the 4.2 V8 cars, has 1 large single pass intercooler for each bank (opposed to the oem dual pass). So it seems Jspazz assessment about the air temp mixing under the IC is correct, at least as far as APR is concerned. If so that large single pass IC would be a much less complicated, already existing version of my design, that is now not my design. Also I was impressed to learn how well the OEM IC performs to begin with. Maybe there could be benefit for those in super hot climates, or when running the larger crank pulley that I just found out about. Even though I never had intentions on building a new intercooler, I learned a lot through this thread, which was the only reason I started it.
I was reading threads about the AMS install as I’m preparing to install my kit. Led me to my crude design, then stumbled across the stage 3 car. I had put so much thought into this system lately that it immediately jumped out at me.
C’mon, it’s pretty cool how this all came together, if I’m proven correct. I get the feeling a few members here know for fact whether I’m right or wrong, I can imagine APR/mag would prefer to keep it quiet.
