v8dats Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 this has been posted here(on hybridz) a while ago but i thought i would bring it back up. my brother and i are getting a material list together for a custom l28et intake and will be ordering stuff from them. we just dont know if we should go with the half circle plenum or the D plenum stuff. kinda cool! http://www.rossmachineracing.com/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The velocity stacks wont work with the L28 as several of the ports are too close in relation to one another. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8dats Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 who said anything about velocity stacks? i was just showing the site and that people can buy materials to build their own intakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crispy Chicken Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Cool, I wanna help build it!!! That should be fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 What exactly do velocity stacks help do. I know it has to deal with air flow obviously but dont know exactly what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM-EXC Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 funny I was just thinking about what was needed to make an intake manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 You can build a manifold without velocity stacks. I recommend you use a thick plenum base. This would allow you to machine in a smooth transition from the plenum to the runners. Ross' parts are very nice. Here is an intake manifold I've designed with ross' stacks and runner material (audi 5 cylinder). The flanges are custom by me. You can definitely make nice stuff with their material.

AK-Z Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 What exactly do velocity stacks help do. I know it has to deal with air flow obviously but dont know exactly what. It compresses the air slightly as it enter the runners. I know not exactly the same principle but: Kinda like the opposite if using a cone to amplify sound. It has to do with air being pushed from a wide area into a more narrow area. More air + more fuel = more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Velocity Stacks reduce the turbulence at the mouth of the intake. Using engineering factors a square edge is around .65 and a velocity stack is around .98 with a 1 being no flow loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Holy Crap, For all the parts I need for the four cyl intake I'm working on its $365! That's crazy expensive. Amazingly awesome products but, Wow does that add up quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingly awesome products but, Wow does that add up quick! LOL, imagine what the guy doing one for a Titan 5.6L V8 is up against when he realizes the stock intake is 8" too tall, and you end up needing to make TWO "four cylinder" intake manifolds! Hey, there IS logic behing running a Honda Z600! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
