Should have been AIM dash, but it's too late to edit, doh..... Anyway Minidave, your point is a good one and when I do a complete write up including all the sordid details I'll make sure to spell out all the abbreviations, some won't be familiar with TVS, etc.
Which ones? Some are acronyms, some, like 5zero, is a name of a company (Owen, who specializes in wraps and decals, is 5zero designs, he's wrapped many a MINI, and has done stuff for commercials, most notably the Duracell battery truck). When it's all done, I'll do something detailed, this is just a teaser. It's ended up being quite a bit more of a build than it originally started out--but it's going to be sweet when it's done.
AIM is a manufacturer of the electronic dash (gauges) he is using.
TVS, stands for Twin Vortices Series, it is a supercharger that combines the efficiency of a twin screw design with a traditional roots type blower... Only available through RMW.
FMIC, is Front Mounted Intercooler... It places a larger intercooler in front of the radiator in the front bumper for maximum efficiency.
W2A, is another type of intercooler using water and a separate heat exchanger (like a radiator)... These systems work well, but are very complex with lots of parts that "could" fail.
Don't forget DILLIGAFF... Because on big builds like this, the car is being built to suit the goals of one person, and thats all that matters. [emoji12]
Well, indirectly at least, my car is your Guinea pig, you can thank me later...:devil:
BTW, if you don't know Kevin Reid, you'll want to introduce yourself sometime, that dude is beyond awesome and along with Jan will be a huge resource for you.
Both me and my car are in the process of shedding weight, New Year's Resolution challenge type of thing...Be interesting to see who loses more. Hopefully the car.
