mekilljoydammit 0 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I regged just to post in this thread. Definitely cool work to see the evolution of this in CFD... there's just one question I had looking at all the images of the flow fields. Now, I realize that it flows evenly to all the ports in the simulations, but all the simulations are done with all the ports open at once, which obviously isn't how the engine actually works. I just have to wonder how the flow would be affected by it only flowing to one port at a time, and if that would eliminate the need for all the flow straighteners. I do have to admit that I'm coming to this from the point of view of someone working on the same sort of thing for a 4-cylinder and hoping to use rapid prototyping and investment casting instead of CNC machining and welding... so obviously I don't *want* the flow straighteners to be necessary, as with as intricate as they are I'm not sure how reliably they'd turn out in a home-done casting.

madkaw 23 Posted October 16, 2012 Well I just read thru this whole thread and it ended here? Did I miss something or did this continue on somewhere else- I feel left hanging:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony D 152 Posted October 18, 2012 If you look at what Jenvey does now, they have basically replicated this kind of plenum/diffuser design for their 4 cylinder turbo plenum. What more do you want though, it's been made, done. Now maybe it will be cast instead of machined. Jenvy's is.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madkaw 23 Posted October 18, 2012 It's made-has it been used? I didn't see that part in the thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madkaw 23 Posted October 20, 2012 Anybody has something better than Tony's sarcasim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony D 152 Posted October 20, 2012 Way off base on that one. Not sarcastic at all. But if you want it to be, it will be. Sorry you took it that way. I thought it was funny as hell. Does anybody owe anybody an "update"? I posit many go underground for development now due to such demands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MONZTER 13 Posted October 28, 2012 Anybody has something better than Tony's sarcasim I do, I bet it is still tossed in closet with lots of other parts. BTW Tony, I thought it was funny 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madkaw 23 Posted October 28, 2012 Okay, maybe I am slow to get Tony's humor- I recind my sarcastic remark. Thanks for the update- I thought maybe this thread transcends to another forum or thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l300man 0 Posted June 6, 2016 Hi, just read this article. Fu#######king amazing, monster your a true legend!!! I'd be interested in trying to use your concept on a 4 cyl (if that would be OK with you of course?) If been building a sr20 with a vvl head and have a set of gtir itb's. PS how's your project going? Have you got it running? I'm sure a lot of people would be keen to see it Hope your well Scott From Australia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
