I've been reading up on how intakes are made, and I though through of on a idea that might be very innovating from a V2 concept. Many people have commented that the V2 does gain lots HP and TQ at all RPM's, but it lacked the throttle response do to loss in transition of velocity vs pressure.(Bernoulli's Principle: http://home.earthlink.net/~mmc1919/venturi.html).

Soo I came to a conclution of welding a air chamber(3" pipe) in between a CAI track(2.5" pipe) to increase the pressure while there's no loss in velocity inside. I still need to weld the Filter end on but I'm hoping for some good gains. I'll dyno to see how the gains are soon.

What do you guys think my gains would look like? (99 civic EX D16Y8)

 

Do you realize that the on the V2 the section of tube that mounts to the TB extends into the bigger tube section (3” part)? It is not just a 3” section welded to the end of a 2.5” section. The 2.5” tube extends into the 3” tube for about 6 inches. I think AEM does this for an increase in velocity but more for induction wave tuning

Oh dont worry....I have about 4 inches of the 2.5 inside of it to for see it. I'll probably make more length difference in other designs later on.

 

more pics!

 

cute idea, but honestly it won't do much. I got an idea that I'll post up once I get it going. (=

 

I thought about doing something kinda like that.

I was going to just put a 3" pipe with a hinged door over a 2.5" pipe. When it came time for the track I would throw some dry ice in there.

It prob. wouldn't help much but it would be fun to make.

 

You should dyno it. Actually you should have dyno'd it before and after. Oh well. Looks good.
