I was reading d16a6 build HMT style. and I saw that he ported out the intake plenum. And I was currious what if you took the runners, opened them out to make it as one Huge runner? Im currious WHY this wouldnt work...

Im still kinda new to the honda thing.

 

BUMP, I WANT TO KNOW AS WELL

 

in the end, you still have to divide them into 4, so I'd guess that it would have the effect of shortening the runners drastically and increasing the plenum size, wouldnt it? It might slow down the velocity... but there's only one way to know.

 

there was a thread on this a while back, hr guy cut the back of his intake manifold" just a good size square" and ported every thing out then welded it back together, looked great.

 

Sounds ******* pointless to me. Why not just switch it over to a carb?

Exactly, having 1 huge runner feeding all the cylinders would cause a dramatic decrease of air speed/velocity. Engines love dense, cold, high velocity air. Thats why some intakes go from 3" to 2 2.5" at the TB. - Darrell
