Another HA intake cut-open and flowed
- Thread starter SloGN
- Start date
Are you using a projected tip or a non projected tip?. What was the temp varience among the cylinder. What would be a neat test is try a stocker then a champion unit and then a gasket ported unit and see how react. I'll buy the gaskets ...
How is the fuel system setup . Did the same cylinder get hot as with the stocker that was ported .
FYI: As I tuned the individual cylinders, the cylinder correction changed at diferent boost levels. I kept them within 24 degrees of each other, but it was like hitting a moving target. It was obvious to me that the distribution changed as the airflow increased
im running a non projected tip. projected tip plugs are no good on a boosted motor imop. and cal if i remember right you where better then that. it was within 21deg 
i didnt have issues that made me believe there was a problem with the gasket ported intake. it wasnt till i install a gutted one again that i suspected and found problems. years back i had issues with a gutted intake and never figure out the problem. now its clear what the problem is
i guess with all the free time and loads of money i can throw around guess i could do testing with all the intakes.
Lmfao i wish. however that would be cool if someone could. if cal was closer i would do it since he is the only one imop that could get a solid tune and see the difference

this is proof in the pudding. Disturbing the insides is causing turbulence. The swirling action of the air towards the ports is interfering with the flow to the ports next to it. what seems like a mass increase in flow is negated buy the intakes own inability to process the extra air properly.
the air makes 3 turns before its at the ports. open or not it wont flow.
doesnt anyone remember when it was popular to turbo those fox body mustangs? they had those huge runner intakes that bent over like an "L"? they sucked major ass under boost.

im not sure at what point people will see issues. i think every car will see issues at a different points. some might not ever see a problem while others might. it comes down to the entire combination. I would love to test intakes but man thats alot of work. maybe eric can

id toss some of my hard earned pennies on this.
this point needs to get proven.
I'll donate 200 bucks right now.
Depends what you mean by "dynamic" ha-ha. Their design goal was always to make the little V6 behave like a stock showroom 350 V8 in normal street driving with a country clubber behind the wheel. (Another whole thread might argue how well they succeeded.)
I think the point SloGN has been struggling to make is that, with a bigger turbo on a motor running at higher RPM, you arrive at a point where removing the restrictions allows you to get a larger volume of boost to each cylinder at a faster rate than the stock approach. The key to understanding his derangement lies in the bigger turbo on a motor running at higher RPM, certainly well beyond what the designers had in mind.
I remain dubious myself, but hey....
Well powerball is at $500 million right now so get a ticket Brent.

we arent sure where my motor will make peak power. problem is i dont want to put out all kinds of info when im testing items to see if they work or dont. i dont want someone to buy anything that might hurt performance. once i know what works best i will let you know
