Siance Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 gees o pete, just build the thing.....i like the option of having a design wehere you could run TBI and MPI...however that would prolly take more time to build...i say build something like chad did....that coupled with a low price, and i think you will have a winner....ok we need to narrow this down so this guy can start work on this thing...i say lets have a vote on the front page, give it a week and which ever otion has the highest number of votes will be the one built...

‰ Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Yeah, no offense meant to anyone but this thread has been feeling more-and-more as if it were contributed to by the People's Front of Judea... ;) ;) Personally, I'm going MPI whether it be a carbon intake or not. There's only so much power to be made with old TBI technology and two injectors... -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siance Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 alot of power can be made with both..... if done correctly.....Mpi would be easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artinist Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 another example of a good intake design. http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~robyn101/SINats/Zohab3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metric-man Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Well as I said.... "There's only so much power to be made with 2 injectors... Pretty straight-forward. ;D -Rob Don't be that way you mentioned TBI in that original quote too. There's only so much power to be made with old TBI technology and two injectors... Symmetrical intake designs distribute the fuel better between the cylinders than asymmetrical designs. This points at the same problem that the TBI w/ two injectors has..and not the main reason whether the design of the plenum but the location of the injectors . It is not a question of the Starquest fuel Volume but the location for optimum delivery Yes the stock intake is restrictive, but upsize the intake pipe.... well I think you get the idea. Like you said,... pretty straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpitty Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 There is plenty of power to be made with only 2 injectors, i think our biggest bottle neck would be the 8 valve head. i dont care what any one says the jet valve isn't the valve count unless you need to lean your Stuff out. I mean mpi, tbi, even freaking carburation there is ways to get around all of that nut if the head is only flowing so much air in and out it will sorta put a bottle neck on things. Think why the hell else would a honda get more hp then us. *edit* obviously not stock, i need any pissed off people flameing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonkeyProject Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I could be wrong, but i believe the F1 cars are using pneumatic valves, rather than the electronically controlled that were mentioned. http://www.delwestusa.com/images/Air_Spring.jpg not that it matters, and not to bring us back off topic again either, ignore my post :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epm Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I designed a carbon fiber intake for the conquest about a year ago , i even made a prototype mold , but the thing is my friend at the same time designed a composite (kevlar) intake for sprint cars that he now sales , was going to be carbon fiber but the rules were changed and carbon fiber was banned , anyhow he dyno tested it and even that it didn't transfer as much heat to the incoming air as aluminum intakes really the only gain was weight savings, which is critical for sprint cars and indy cars , but for street cars a weight savings of about 3 pounds is not worth the money that a carbon fiber intake would cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
