Hi guys,
I've just had a pic sent to me.
It looks like someone else (some years ago) has tried to use the same
core concept that the Spider is based on -
'central discharge' rather than spray bars and all credit to them if they'd done it correctly - which obviously they didn't when you see how uneven the plumes are.
Now here I was thinking I was only the 2nd person to use it, when in fact I could be 3rd or even 4th. BUT at least I'm the 1st person to get it RIGHT!!! The unfortunate thing is that some people who are aware of this plate, 'think' it offers
'the same' features as the Spider,
when in fact if they bothered to read the features listed below they should realise that the Spider takes the
'core' concept to a whole new level of performance.
Now if somebody would like to explain to me how the Speedtech plate or any other achieve the following benefits offered by the Spider, I'd be interested to hear about it, because if so I must be missing something and I wouldn't want to be making any false claims for the Spider.
1) ANTI-REVERSION nozzle location.
2) EQUAL distribution to all cylinders.
3) DIRECTIONAL discharge which can be adjusted to optimise the exact point of injection relative to the port.
4) INDIVIDUAL cylinder fuel and nitrous jetting.
5) Delivers MAXIMUM liquid nitrous density.
6) MINIMISES flow losses caused by poor flow paths and turbulence at the exit.Just as with ALL my products the secrets are in
'the detail'.
One final thing about these other plates, I'd be
VERY WORRIED if the Spider delivered such
POOR distribution.
The plumes at 11 oclock, 4 oclock and 5 oclock must be flowing less than
HALF the plumes at 2 oclock and 8 oclock plus I can't see more than 2 plumes that even come close to flowing an equal amount!!!
It's also clear that there is so much loss in density and so much turbulence at the exits, that the plumes turn to gas less than an inch from the exits, so not much charge cooling going on there then!!!
Anyone care to comment? Would the owner of the plate like to step forward?
Regards
