Recent shots of Clint Barnts car... . .

Nice. I'm favoring this one...

Thanks... as is YOURS! ...as you wish... The car belongs to a customer of mine, Clint Barnts. It just received a new intake manifold and Wolf EMS... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117607 The fully custom interior and stereo system is just as nice as the rest of the car... I still have my data-logging crap all over, so you'll have to take my word for it Mural on the underside of hood (with 'old' manifold).... New manifold... . . Wilwood brakes front & rear...

. .

Fired the car up last weekend. After some initial tuning, the car runs strong. With a mild Electramotive cam, 265 @ .465, the car pulls cleany through 7000rpm. A bonus is that low rpm performance is only slightly compromised. Dyno results in a couple weeks...

Batteries are charged .....

Actually... its not the first one I fired up the first one last weekend... its running really nicely. With a mild cam, its pulling CLEANLY through 7000rpm, with only a modest drop in bottom end torque.

:lmao:

Happy B-Day!

No production engines are designed to run without some form of anti-freeze. As the name implies, one of anti-freezes' jobs is to keep from freezing. So... by that logic, "freeze plugs" are as useless as tits on a boar.

June 9th and 10th... got less than two weeks left.

Super!

If it matters, I'm not 'fighting turbulence'. I've had my manifold static CFD tested, and its not too shabby. I've got a couple areas I'd like to clean up, but overall, I'd call it successful, statically. I'll make the results public soon enough...

Mine is unfinished as well, but you can still come and enjoy the people and their hard work!

Justin, They're offset .150" from the centerline of each runner. Drawings should pretty clearly indicate which direction, per cylnder. If you need me to work on that aspect of the drawings just shout.

On paper, this is a great idea... small primaries, coupled with large secondaries up stream. Keep in mind the costs and complexity go up significantly... double the injectors, double the fuel rails, double the mounts/bosses, potential accessibility issues with the secondry set, blah, blah, blah. Actually, what you're referring to is 'staged' injection. Sequential refers to the injectors being timed with the valves, opening once every other revolution. As opposed to batch-fired, opening every revolution with disregard of valve timing.

At this time, the key word is... patience

My feeling is that you'd have to move them farther than you have to make it worth while, say inside the plenum, directed straight down the runners throat. Anything less than that isn't worth the extra expense and complication (don't forget the mounts for the rail). IMO, flange mounted injectors are an elegant overall compromise.

I think its fair to say as many fuel rails will be available as there are manifolds.

I initially thought Tony was referring to this manifold... but I see it doesn't quite match his description, save for the central mouted TB facing the head. I'm sure Tony would like to comment on this one

Roger that. Very good!... how far along in your IR training? I'm 'finished' with my IR so to speak... passed the written (most difficult test I've ever taken) and fulfilled all curriculum requirements. I just need to take the practical. I'm slowly plinking away at a CFI position. Probably get stretched out over years, as instructing would be primarily for the enjoyment of it. I expect a ping when you get your IR and Commercial. Best of luck!

Only pilots talk that way

Ohh my!
