As it is it's only 'spreading' out the flow, not 'jetting' it, which is probly why it perfoms on par with the maze3, you're not actualy getting any impingment...

Ask Cathar how wide the channel/jet was/is on the WW. It'd have to be a bit thinner on yours to make up for the extra width...

i think the reason i am not getting impingement is the inlet is a smooth transistion from round to thin jet. This will increase velocity and widen the inlet to cover the whole p4 IHS but as it's smooth the only turbulance created is when it hits the base plate. The thin fins i have dont help either.

If you look at WW the inlet is round down to the middle plate and there is a small gap above the middle jet plate. So the water will hit most of the middle plate creating turbulance. Also the fins are square on the top so again the water will hit the top of the fins and turbulance will be created.

At least after doing some research yesterday thats what i think is happening.

Would anyone have any thoughts on this.
