      Thanks for the uploads, its an interesting topic....know sounds stupid but what would a salad bowl do as engine masters tried it and it showed an increase that wasn't expected. What i understood is that you have a larger volume of air available and there is an increase of pressure at the smaller end allowing for more flow into the engine.
      Obviously that maybe another thing to add to the testing a couple of sensors for IAT's and Air volume or flow.
      Science :) and once again big thanks :)

      if you are looking to make power run 4 velocity stacks like the mini white one but way shorter( I get that you can not put them closer for melting issues during testing. ) then put a plenum around all 4 to your air cleaner. larger in the front shrinking to the back to keep velocity. look inside an f1 intake.

I will keep these tests running If anyone wants to send in there designs & will test once have a few. details are in description. I dont have a 3d printer so needs to be physical item. Please only low value items that you dont need returned.
    Couple of notes on this video. I done all the tests at same length. but due to the design of some items. namely the big white, they will act as a slightly different length runner. Aggressive taper or a big bellmouth will act as a shorter runner, which can be seen in the case of the big white design. The long blue items were designed for a smaller size throttle body and measured 46mm. were also tested as a slightly longer length than the rest, due to fitment issues.

      Blue skinnies are well designed. With some remodelling, tweaks and fine tuning these things can give you more power from 4700 strait to almost 8000. Oh and smoothen the curve which will give you more throttle response. I may give some suggestion for improving them.

    • @N4CR
      @N4CR 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would agree with this except when it comes to ports. I've seen proven dyno data showing rougher (and slimmer!?!) ports can make more power in superbike racing with port injection/not DI engines, due to atomisation/swirl of the charge being higher plus higher velocity port filling in upper midrange where you use power often for coming out of corners on a superbike. Probably less so today with CFD so popular but it's something to look at.
      But I do fully agree the whole system is a tuned design. Look at the latest C8 vette design with resonance used very smartly in a very mechanically simple (looking at BMW with disdain) system.

      @agerrgerra1361 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've done some CFD testing on intake trumpets, and despite what the curve of the bellmouths would suggest, not much air is really coming in from the sides. A little bit trickles in but the air coming from the sides is approaching more slowly so it's not really restricted at all.
      Using the unnecessary curves to make the trumpets like that also messes with the airspeeds a tiny bit (though not much), since air has to travel faster along the inside of a bend than the outside. It ends up looking like the air is making a slight attempt to apex all the bends in the intake tubing, so for example if you curved a trumpet upward with a fairly wide bellmouth it would draw significantly more air through the lower side of the bellmouth to avoid curving as much.

    I was hoping for the green swirl to win! It came damn close though!
    The screwdriver handle is a very interesting design but I knew it would be the worst performer as it has slats that create a serious choke point. It was nice that the slats were tangential to the cylinder inside but without a kickoff to promote the air downward into the engine, I suspect it was just spinning the air and thus the engine now has to 'pull' the air in rather than it being pushed into the engine.
    On the plus side, the cyclonic effect the screwdriver might generate will/should damn near make that air clean AF for the engine lol!

    You could try a tapered runner, I think it's roughly 7 degrees of taper to keep the boundary layer solid. Could be interesting keeping the lengths the same and testing if taper affects the power delivery

    • @identiticrisis
      @identiticrisis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's very hard to get the effective length the same with a taper and / or a rolled bellmouth. You can clearly see length effects in the dyno graphs by switching between the different design types, and it's notably where the design is very different that the bumps appear in different places. The skinny blue vs. the big white is a great example.
      Also the small white runners gave a similar torque curve to the "normal" runners, which presumably are the runners the car has already been tuned with. Stands to reason the runners most similar to the existing runners will give the best result without further tuning.
      The noodle cups show what a good taper can do - really smooth plot. Admittedly the taper was pretty extreme...

I think the baseline straight pipe should have been run a second time near the end since it's so close, but that's not really important. Aside from the one outlier, the restricted screwdriver handle design, every intake was basically the same performance or so close it's within standard deviation of the testing equipment. Perhaps those throttle bodies are more than large enough to feed the engine.

    @t_c5266 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The purpose of a velocity stack is to smooth out the flow by eliminating sharp corners to reduce discontinuities and reduce turbulence.
    eg: the small white stacks that didnt touch had no sharp corners meaning they had no discontinuities or stagnation points. That meant smoother and less turbulent air delivery.
    The swirling ones do nothing but create flow restrictions on the intake. If you put swirl into it youre trying to MIX air and fuel, not mix air with air. Which means any swirling action has to happen at the heads where air and fuel are mixing together.
    Lastly, the shorter and smoother your intake, the less friction you get. I'm willing to bet that if you took a nicely sanded copy of the little white ones, theyd do even better.

    Really great experiments.
    I think it shows the fundamental concept that power is directly linked to the amount of air you can get into the combustion chamber.
    The starr shaped inlets with their restrictive slits show the power drop (I'm sure this would be backed up with a flow metre).
    What these experiments do over and above a simple flow metre is link to combustion. The location of where the fuel is introduced to the air flow would also have an impact on the efficiency of the burn - if the fuel is introduced further up the inlet there is more time for it to mix, so the swirling inlets may have additional benefits if the injectors are further up.
    Also, the length of the inlet dictacts any pulsing / scavenging effects, I think you can see this in the different peaks / bumps / high spots in the traces - they provide approximately the same power overall but each length has sweet spots compared to others.
    Really interesting stuff, lots of variables to play with and all will impact how the engine runs.

    of course we always want great power but to better see the difference between the intake runners it might be better to stick to the same shape, but all a bit smaller so that the motor is a bit choked and the difference becomes larger and therefore clearer. Of course you can also increase the pressure and flow in the computer simulation and see what happens. I also wonder if the opening surface is kept the same for the different models (especially for the screwdriver handle). nice to test all this, in the past this was all much more work than now.

I wanted to try that in an exhaust manifold. In the middle of each bend increase the diameter just a little. Also don’t round the edge leave a sharp edge for a dramatic change in pressure.

It would be hard to get the correct depth, and smoothness (unless you dimple then use acetone vapor to help with surface finish of 3D printed ABS) I’d try that on the white short stacks and see if that helps with smoothening out some of the curve.

    @Garage 4age Have you, or can you test pulse plates soon?
    Back story: I built a Mk1 Escort for a friend of mine and drove it a 60odd miles with bare carbs and trumpets and it was truly awful. Difficult to drive because of a narrow power band and I assumed the cam was just a bit too much.
    At our meeting point he brought a K&N filter which only just fitted between carbs and bulkhead but it utterly transformed the drivability of the crossflow engine.
    From a trumpet point of view it went from seeing a wavy bulkhead to a flatter squarer-to-trumpet K&N fiter top, only slightly closer.
    I was convinced it was just that better pulse reflection made the difference, but I have never had another opportunity to test it!
    (Nerdy details, I think it was a Lynx manifold with single 45Weber, 1600 crossflow with big valves and lumpy cam)

    • @Garage4age
      @Garage4age  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possible the filter itself had an effect on airflow changing the air fuel ratio? my understanding is its the end of the pipe, rather than bouncing off a nearby surface that causes the reflections. will keep it in mind though, maybe put it in with something else i want to test soon. as interested to see how close to a flat surface the end of the runner can be, before losing power. I'm 99% sure my current setup doesn't have any issues like this based on some previous testing. even though looks like the strut tower is quite close

      @thomashenderson3901 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was purely feel and drivability sadly, so no real data to back up the difference, but it was a dramatic one. So smooth and managable after fitting that filter.
      I'm sure you can't be far wrong, carbs are a lot different to bodies, but it would be very interesting to see if you can measure any difference.
      Gap wise. 0.25 x trumpet diameter should be the same curtain area and thus arguably the closest you can take a pulse plate, but there'll be a lot of complex interactions going on particularly when it's closer than that, so who knows.
      Interesting to see if you can measure a true suffocation point.

  • @jamesward1931
    @jamesward1931 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The end of the velocity stacks are quite close to the strut tower - I think from memory if you have a wall within 1-2xID of the end of the stack you can start to get wave reflection effects which might explain the wibbly wobbly graphs between 5-6500rpm and why the screwdriver handles - although much lower total power - are smooth in that rpm zone - because the end of the stacks are closed, and so prevent those reflections from entering the stacks. Could you route the intake above the strut towers so the ends are in free air? I doubt it would improve the top end power but it might smooth out the delivery in the mid range. Great video, love a 4AGE - one of my favorite engines of all time!

    So if you want a good intake trumpet:
    Large like the white cap mushroom.
    Clear dedfined intake swirls or dimples.
    Narrows down hard into a medium trumpet.
    All this will increase airflow into the engine as you are increasing air speed.
    You could even look at how wind tunnels do it 👍
    The only thing we haven't factored in is vibrational resonance which will greatly affect the performance of the runners.
    also the engine is continuing to change speed and demand more air so the spirals may actually restrict the air flow at a certain point where as with the dimples it can flow over it...
