Intake Idea

[Jet-Lee]

I've been thinkin up an intake design at the moment, based on an exhaust system, and a Weapon-R design.....It's like an intake inside an intake. Say you've got a 3 inch opening in your throttle-body. Use 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 inch intake piping, with an internal pipe that is 1/2 - 1 inch smaller in diameter that floats* in the exact middle, at least the length of the outside pipe. At the throttle-body side, round off the ends of both pipes, so no sharp edges. Then use a 2-3 inch length of 3 inch pipe to connect this setup to your throttle body. At the filter end of this contraption, run the inner pipe as a cold air intake, then have a cone filter (minus the middle) at the end of the fat piece (in the normal filter location). You will draw cold air from the middle pipe, warm air from the outer pipe, then when it reaches the 3in dia. piece, the warm air can expand and pull the cold air through easier. More airflow, and somewhat of a vacuum through your CAI.


*-By "floats", I mean it would be suspended in the middle so no metal was touching.

Thoughts?

I hate to break it to you but AEM beat u to it a long time ago, the V2 series intakes are duel chambered and use sound resonance to pack in more air giving more gains.

aww damn....

looks like the V2 in reverse

it's different than the V2. I researched that, and it's nothing big. $2-300 dollars for a 2-5 hp gain, and all that is, is a fat pipe, connected to a small pipe, connected to the throttle body. Granted, the lengths are very specific for each car, and lots of engineering went into the idea, but IMO, too much money for such a little gain. This uses fusion, not sounds waves, to stuff more air into the engine, and colder air at that.

Fusion... Glad we got into the nuclear side of things here...

Sounds like a good idea, from what I understood of it. If it really does create a vacuum then it should be sweet! How much power are you expecting to gain?

[Jet-Lee]

no clue how much gain....

"ay I"m not tryin to knock or nothin just when this is what I think of when I hear FUSION!!"

Sounds like a good idea if you could make it for cheap! :2thumbsup:

you're thinkin of Fission.....


Tryin to find some cheap tubing to put a prototype together with...

list:

1x - 30 degree curve 2.5"dia.
1x - 60 degree curve 2" dia.
2x - 60 degree curves 1.5" dia.
1x - 4" straight 2" dia.
1x - 12" straight 1.5" dia

really thin, doesn't matter what kinda metal. Weld-able would be great.

[REV.oluzion]

i just wanted to add to your design is that you will have cutt the already bended round tubbing into "u" halfs...to weld the inner tubbing in the center with supports the hold it centered inside the outer tubbing...cause with out that it will never be exactly centered if u just welded the ends because in welding things never stay in the same spot as u marked, it tends to bend or a slight shift from the heat and warping....other then that it sound like a very great idea..but i dont think hot and cold air will make a diff. rememeber your trying to get more air right....the colder the air, the more its compressed, and that means you can pack way more cold air then you can from the mixxed hot and cold...i would just invent a like electric cold air intake...an intake that has some type of ventilation in the tubbing with a cold aid condenssor..so no matter how hot the air is it will suck it in and freeze the air while flowing thew the tubbing into the manifold.....kinda like the AC blowing threw the intake....

[REV.oluzion]

the v2 intake aem makes is just a smaller tubbing connected into the larger tubbing making more of a swirl to the air flowiing threw...their are headers that are also made this way too small to big....the small tubbing give the air a certain amount of compression/back pressure and the tube wich is like only 1/2 in bigger make a bigg difference for the flowing air becuase i dramatically canges the air pressure/compression.....big trottle takes more air but needs a smaller intake to compression and force the pushes it in faster....exhaust need the small tubbing at the headder for the right amount of back pressure....but also a bigger "right sized" (2.5) most honda vehicals tubbing to relase the uneeded pressure threw the back...most track cars have 3 diff. size tubbing on their exhuast system from header being probably like 1-2 inch and mid way threw the header it will change another 1/4-1/2 inch threw the down pipe goin out the 2 3/4 -3 inch exhaust....
