intake manifold modification

[Ben-e-boy]

Draw through flow bench will only tell you half the story Ben. My situation has changed a bit in my life and my flow bench and dyno I had no room to store, A very old friend asked for a long term lend so he has it to do a project.. Otherwise I would gladly offer to test your manifold..

Thanks..good luck with the new path.

Ben to comment without being critical here the system is good but the only issue I have found with testing a system like that which I have had in the past with a KKK turbo is you stuff up flow capacity hence turbulence with the small connection cooler to manifold. Bench testing will tell you nothing here you have to bench the cooler and manifold together. And Yes Ben I tested this system against my now system. And yes it does flow better in the pre torque max rev area mmmm a lot better. Now you are using a bigger cooler than I am which is fine but more volume and funny things happen to flow in the manifold when you speed up volume with that connection type. Also remember I am using water/methanol pre turbo injection as I have always done so I just do not need such a big cooler any more. Hence why I have gone for the cooler connected directly to the plenum.

Ben remember this stuff is all 1% ers now.

PS I forgot YES you can go to big, Hence the half size cooler hehe. But I don't know what to big is as yet..

Very interesting, I suppose if were to increase the 3 inch joiner gradually, and a bit of dyno time and see what comes off it.

I do like the 1%ers 5x 1%ers is 5% and 5% of power/torque at current figures is 9kw and 38Nm, just shy of the 200kw/800Nm combo and a noticable increase
