That's dope dude. I'm a newbie to the University of Washington FSAE team. Where are you guys competing this year? Any testing done on that intake? Looks like a pretty radical design.

We will be in Detroit... you guys? I have not tested that particular intake yet, but one similar, and a several others w/ common plenum size and multiple runner length configurations, I've dont a lot of development, research, design on this for the last couple years, so it should work pretty well, but my true piece is an SLA model which is awaiting completion

SLA model? Not familiar with the terminology? That intake definitely has an interesting design though, are you going for the effect of having two different plenum volumes? Keep us posted on the results
BTW, We're heading out to SAE West this year. It works out so much nicer for us since we're on the west coast, and it's a week after spring finals are over.

Re: I <3 building race cars... (alfaaay)
SLA is stereolithography, basically, you can create complex designs using a solid modeling program, then the SLA machine will then create it, the material is a ''plastic type'' material, pretty cool stuff. The idea of the intake shown above is sort of a dual plenum thing, except due to the f4i firing order, it needs to be a tri-plenum. The reasoning for it is two fold actually. first, it helps create a ribbed support that will prevent the manifold from contracting and expanding under vacuum, the second is that the seperation between cylinders helps prevent the scavenging effect between them (yes, you can have scavenging on the intake side)(this is more pronounced with very short runners)
