Changing Water Lines Before the Dyno & ‘Thermal Siphoning’

Changing Water Lines Before the Dyno & ‘Thermal Siphoning’ | TURBO Your NA Barra Update

Рет қаралды 5,866

Short update video today before our upcoming dyno tune for those that have followed the NA +Turbo Barra conversion videos.
I'm mostly releasing this for those that may follow the initial way I had these lines routed, but also explain why I have done this and look at 'thermal siphoning' briefly.
While the factory way or even teeing into the heater bypass lines at the rear of the engine are likely better solutions, I hope the quick fix to achieve correct or improved 'thermal siphoning' I show with the lines I already had will be sufficient.
Hope you enjoy, if you did and would like to support our little battler channel grow please consider liking, sharing with a mate and subscribe to keep up to date as videos come out!

Browney, you're a legend mate. This isn't the first video of you acknowledging mistakes you've made, explaining why it was a mistake and how to address the problem moving forward. You're legit keeping BA's on the road with this channel.

Good stuff mate. Wouldn’t tapping into the heater hose off the back of waterpump be the best water feed to the lower port…? 😬

@BrowneysGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Plenty of better ways to do it, just get coolant to it! Sure it would be better there and a lot tap into the hard line leading into the lower thermostat housing, similar spot to where the factory cars had them.

How long a tubo timer set for, if they aren't ran down properly, the bearings will run dry of oil as it only pumps oil when engine is running, but tubo will keep spinning until it stops, all the best to you all

@BrowneysGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I'm not shutting it off at 6k rpm! 🤣 Turbo timer is a bit old tech, similar enough for me as taking it easy for last little bit of a drive and turning the car off at an idle. I believe some newer cars use an electric oil pump to flow oil for a bit after shut off but the Falcons never had one and turbo life seems pretty good without it - she'll be right?

Sounds like convection, we have made external tanks and used an intercooler heat exchanger for stand alone cooling for the turbo. Be surprised how much coolant flow there is without a pump

@dylanzrim3635 2 жыл бұрын

Thermal convection is the right term from what I remember.

@young11984 2 жыл бұрын

@@dylanzrim3635 convection is the transfer of heat thru the movement of fluid, hot is less dense therefore rises and cooler is more dense and falls. Thermal is just an added word really

@BrowneysGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Could thermal siphoning or a thermosiphon be a further system that uses convection? Or maybe it's just a simpleton way of remembering it for myself! 🤣 Either way I'm just glad it's working. Thanks for sharing, interesting to hear it working completely stand alone. Had seen people use it for different heater setups and what not so guess it makes sense, just as you say surprising how much flow it must be able to produce.

nice man, i was considering a turbo conversion for my BA, but have decided to opt for a supercharger instead. every bloody falcon on the road is turbo these days. would prefer to run my girl at my local car club sporting something a little different even if it isn't the most efficient power gain for the price point, that said. i am just looking to make her a bit more fun, not turn it into a psycho bitch so the SC seems like the better option for what i am wanting plus the constant power appeals
