SDG lid spacer

[Unholy707]

Does anyone have the SDG lid spacer? Pros, cons? Any measurable performance gain? Looking for info, appreciate it. Feel like no one is even on this forum anymore and it’s just @1971demon at 3am yelling at clouds

I'm here, but have no idea what you're talking about.
I can attest that at about 2 to 3 am, I hear the faint echo coming from (possibly) the New York area, as it does have a @1971demon Yankee sounding accent.

might this be something similar to the FI supercharger spacers and thermal blanket some are using?

@jonx96 did you only get the SDG snout or the snout and bearing plate?

I've seen it listed on their site. Can't see how it could possibly provide any benefit at all. Just means the air has a big buffer before being forced through the cooling bricks--which equates to a longer path to travel to reach to the intake. It could conceivably introduce some boost lag.

 

[Unholy707]

Their claim is it allows air a chance to cool down or something, I guess by allowing more surface area for the air to flow through the bricks

 

[2ndgen]

It doesn't change the surface area of the opening on the bricks at all...
It does provide more surface area on the lid itself so if the ambient under hood temp is helping to cool then sure, /maybe/ it could help--but w/o some direct back-to-back comparisons impossible to say. If it works well maybe it's a possible alternative to a chiller--costs a lot less--definitely wouldn't help as much as a chiller, but who knows, maybe it could be an option for someone. They show two "pretty" pictures but don't show any actual data of intake temps to back up the claim. For $800 I'd want to see what the data shows.

 

[Unholy707]

No, it gives the air area to expand and be less dense (in theory) before entering the bricks

 

[Unholy707]

That’s why I’m here looking for data lol. Would be using it with a chiller a blower spacers

 

[2ndgen]

It might also either allow for more turbulence impeding flow or reduce turbulence aiding flow. Hard to say w/o doing a FEA simulation, or a bench test.

You want to do both. Snout alone may gain some but not a ton with out the plate
