Well, it's finals here at VT so I've been kind of swamped with studying (have a final at 445 in structures, which should be fun), but in between studying for finals I've found some fun in doing some CFD analysis for my manifold design (off the shelf manifold parts available for purchase via your local google store search)

Here are two pictures: First flow is roughly NA, second flow is under pressure.

I figure it's time for an update. Consequently a lot of work has been done with research into the proper intake manifold design. Here are some of my results. As you'll no doubt notice, the flow characteristics have not improved, but in fact have decreased significantly from the original flow pattern. Have no fear though, I still have a few things up my sleeve to nail down the proper flow.

Design Iteration 2: Modified Plenum Chamber:
Low Velocity

High Velocity


Design Iteration 3: Modified Runner Inlet Angle:
Low Velocity

High Velocity
