Here is the HSPN interview of APS from Sema 2005. If you don't know how a turbo system works I highly recommend watching this video! David explains the entire process from intake to exhaust.

Enjoy

lol im watching most of the video on the bottom

You mean like this APS twin turbo system,



I don't agree with your comments on air to water intercooling, no where near as efficient in terms of charge air temperature reduction as REAL air to air intercooling imho.

Nice coverage! Good work as usual.

is nice....but that looks very laggy no?

With correct maping/tuning 9 PSI boost by 3000 rpm is obtainable ..............awesome power and torque curve from a single turbo.

OMFG. No offense to APS because maybe the packaging for a turbo kit in the VQ35 is a pain in the ass, but that is a POORLY designed turbo system.

-way too much intake ducting... they should have made it a short cowl induction straight from near the base of the windshield... talk about intake pressure drop, holy mother of god (not to mention the single small airfilter for a 400whp application
-to compound the issue, that flexible ducting is VERY HIGH DRAG for airflow, and it will whistle like bubb rubb
-that FMIC has the inlet and outlet on the same ends of the tanks which means the rows of the core on the far end will barely be used and the rows of core on the end closest to the inlet/outlet will get heatsoaked
-trying to ruin the VQ35's beautiful exhaust note and make it sound like a 6-cylinder subaru? That's what they've done with that single-turbo design and extreme unequal-lengthe header . . .

They could have gotten SO MUCH MORE driveability and response out of that engine with a pair of small turbos and some smallish Air-to-Water intercoolers with a single dual-circuit radiator up front somewhere.

All FMICs have inlets and outlets on the same "side". Like on the APS, theyre both on the bottom, and on the Perrin, theyre both on the top. Are you trying to tell me that on the APS the air will never make it to the top, and on the Perrin, air will never make it to the bottom?
