Measurements/info on the OEM H22 Plenum.....
B.Rabbit put on his measuring shoes tonight figured out the volume of the stock h22 plenum.
1419cc
That is not counting the butterfly plate either.
As far as I have read, this is a bit too big for NA, according to my sources the plenum should be equal to about 50-60% of the engine's displacement for NA engines to make peak torque around 5-6k rpm. That implies that removing the IAB plate is a no-brainer on paper....
Discuss.....
Thanks Blake

thats about as close as i could get it. I wouldnt say its an EXACT number, but it gives us something to feed off of.

So does it make sense that having a larger plenum moves the powerband up?
Is this due to the fact that at low rpm the larger plenum slows down the intake charge a lot, and at the higher rpm, it can easily get as much air as it needs??

Interesting. I'd like to know more.

Re: Measurements/info on the OEM H22 Plenum..... (bb4ever)
So without the AIB plate it's already too big? I'm assuming this slows down air flow as the extra air starts to swirl around in there.
BTW, what are your "sources"? Just curious, not smart mouthing.
Edit: my math was wrong...it's late.

Re: Measurements/info on the OEM H22 Plenum..... (B.Rabbit)
I'd definetly like to know more about if removing the IAB plate would be worth it. In a boosted application specifically. From my understanding removing them takes away from low end torque but shows gain in top end horsepower, correct?

correction on oval IAB port sizing (damn online calculators suck ***)
38.5cc's per port = 154cc's combined
35cc per square port = 140cc's combined
294cc's in total.
cylinder volume forumla......... Pi * r^2 * height
Rectangular prism formula........side1 * side2 * side3

Re: (madcatz)
for the layperson....
Matt had spoken with a certain reputable machinist who told him that in order to reach the greatest peak torque to have the plenum volume approx. 50-60% smaller than the size of the engine, ours is ~2200cc.
with this info, 1419cc + 294cc = 1713cc (with IAB plate on)
2200 / 2 = 1100
1713 - 1100 = 613cc too large by the machinist standards.
subtract the 294cc from the IAB plate and you get closer to the goal.

there is no empirical evidence on this. Just one person giving us some info to work with, then me and matt who are number crunching.
empirical meaning that there isn't any evidence i could give you showing this. Jdogg posted that he gained 5whp and 5ft lbs of torque everywhere when he removed the IAB plate. I take his word for it because he is very reputable and tunes for a living. Not to mention it goes hand in hand with the machinists info.

Re: (B.Rabbit)
yeah and people say "when will i ever use this" in math class... I would like to learn about this as well I wish i could be of some help. But time to watch another thread

Re: (bb4ever)
Sweet read. I just wanted to be sure that it's supposed to be a general rule for all 4 cyl motors. It appears to state that it is. I just wonder why Honda would do that even when documenting the H22's VE against the F2XC.
Okay I think I got it: 1.419/2.156= .658. Wich is obviously over said optimum range.

Just a reminder, Brad did not tell me this, I got if off team-integra.net
There is an article on there
from the looks of john's manifold I'm not sure Brad would agree...

There are a few things even an engineer like me would say are pretty worthless, matrices being one of them, and discrete math is right behind it.....but I always thought the social studies classes and such were the worst....

I would like to see the Euro R manifold with its single runner setup specs in regard to the volume of the pendium, and if its closer to the optimal volume.

Re: (Chuckles99SH)
You guys forgot to account for the size of the plenum with the IABs closed.....
From what i gathered by reading your post, just with the IAB plate in place ( not closed ) it adds an extra 2xxcc's due to the fact is increases the overall height... what about with the iabs actually closed and working properly? Doesnt it do exactly what you are saying and decrease overall plenum volume?

Re: (Chuckles99SH)
I wonder what the cc's of the stock manifold are with the volume of the area the IABs close up. I forgot which ports are the ones the IABs close up, the longer ones or the shorter ones.
I would also like to know the cc's of The Birdmans manifold, we all know that thing is HUGE. Unless the pictures are exagerated.

Subtract roughly 50cc and you will have that volume, but know that when the air has to flow that irregular *** path through the plenum, hitting closed butterflies and around the plate and all, that it loses velocity, so that is a disadvantage to the plate.
Also, when they're open, the butterflies also cause turbulence, which is another slight disadvantage.
It is definitely worth noting that we were wrong in calling the IAB plate part of the plenum, it is not. Once the air is in the IAB plate it is now into the runner, so removing the IAB plate actually shortens the runners, it doesn't decrease plenum volume.
One disadvantage I see to just removing the IAB plate is that you're left with the sharp edges underneath where it used to mount....I wonder if the plenum matches up with those edges perfectly or not, they would cause a good amount of turbulence....
This really needs to be dyno tested.

great article
thank you
I'd like to measure the volume of the runners as well. That would let us use that chart they have of engine disp. vs intake manifold size to figure out how the h22 one compares to the f20c.....they said that the direct runner design is better for VE, IE the euro R mani
