Yella Terra Wasp Gt

[exahsix]

exahsix,

have  close look at the photos that show the plenum.

you will see the sandwich plate that cools the air from the blower.

looks like a water/air setup similar to whats on the blown GT ( US one )

Hi Guys,

To answer your question I will refer to a statement made by KPM in another thread:

"the heat exchanger fits snuggly between the blower and inlet manifold. it is then plumbed to a water to air intercooler front mounted as the turbos.

the unit is plumbed to a resevoir and a davies craig water pump pushes the coolant around the system independant of the main cooling system.

fantastic set up. no bonnet issues and works perfectly.

we have gained 20 rwkws with tuning and inlet temps were under contol on a 35 deg. day on the dyno."

FCUKED if I can see a sandwich plate in those photos - but yeah I can see the two hoses for the water/air intercooler.

Thanks for clearing it up CDAA - I am on carsales looking at second hand bosses now...................

See if this helps:

This one doesn't have the Intercooler fitted, but you can see the twon black holes where it would be plumbed in at the front.

OK getting closer but I still don't quite get it. What's the trick with th einlets and outlets to the supercharger.

Usually a 6/71 style just has air in the top, compressed air out the bottom - and hence you would have the intercooler between the bottom of the supercharger and the top of the inlet manifold.

In this case what is the air routing?

Kenne Bell & Whipple s/c's both buy cores from autorotor, the inlet to these in from the rear of the blower and usually has the t/body and intake coming from the rear of the blower & out the side. On these YT kit's it's still a rear entry but it travell's through the stock intake and plenum first then into the back of the unit, air gets compressed and blown out the bottom of the blower (Which is upsdie down here) and goes into the runner's.

See below some closer pics of the installation from KPM Motorsport.

Col, that looks sensational.

You have yourself one damn fine WASP GT there...

Air comes in through the back of the blower, is compressed and comes back out the top of the supercharger, through the intercooler and then down the inlet runners. As you can see from the photos the blower is located under the inlet manifold. The inlet runners are located higher than the supercharger is. Nothing like the traditional 6/71's.

Myself and Robbie had a very close up look at this setup at the SummerNats, it is a very neat installation.

It is horses for courses, all depends on what you want, even the Yella Terra salesman told us this.

If you are after good driveability, awesome torque down low, good punch from the lights, basically a awesome street setup, the Yella Terra blower is the one for you.

If, down the track, you are looking at making serious power out of your V8, and you are a bit of a dyno queen, if the max power figure on top of the sheet is what drives you, the Vortechs are definately better. The Vortechs have a better scope for future mods, and can make some serious power if you start letting them push some serious air into the boss engine.

The Yella Terra blower doesnt really have any space to allow for big plans for big power in the future if you know what I mean. You can put a smaller pulley on them to spin them harder for more psi, but that's about it.
