I just received my 5inch venturi from RS Akimoto. It looks good. We will get the front end in the body shop after work and fiberglass it for final fit. Thanks to Rob at RS Akimoto for getting it to me so quickly!

 

bling bling

 

Watch out for low flying birds.

 

Yeah Rob's the man. I worked w/ him down here in ATL a couple years back. I wish I followed his path and moved out west. He's got a good work ethic and definitely tries to get things done right.

 

is it actually shaped like a Venturi? And have a Venturi Effect?

or is it just called venturi because its a cool name, lol

cant tell from the pictures...

 

I believe that it is actually a venturi. I am worried about birds and other small creatures, LOL

Just make sure you bring your girl for after they get sucked in.

pics?

 

It is called a velocity stack in the catalog. So sorry if I called it the wrong name.

 

Looks good!
Im Shipping computer today

 

Thanks man.

oh ok.. i was gonna say.. A Venturi is a little different. The end result is a Loss in pressure, a Gain in velocity and a gain in kinetic energy



but anyways, looks good... lol

 

Sorry I called it the wrong name. At least I don't think it got mad at me and wont talk to me in the morning, lol. You are right. Venturi principle may not be good on a turbo inlet. Nice illustration.

ya good ol' bernoulli. that son of a gun and his principles.

 

Looks good Jimmy. Good luck this weekend man.

 

actually, after thinking about it.. Im Kinda curious...

If you were to add a Venturi TUBE to, lets say a cowl or air intake (such as one like this), would it be better?

The Pressure would drop, however the flow (air or gas velocity) would increase. And wont the kinetic energy that is maintained (energy is never lost, just changes states) effectively help the air velocity..

The pressure drop would be the reason for the kinetic energy...

Maybe im just too tired, lol... ill think about it tomorrow

 

Just a thought. The atmoshere is low pressure then gets funneled into the velocity stack. So in a way does it act like a venturi?

 

No.. the Cone shape of it is essentially what is making the venturi effect. The change in pressure is transformed into a rise in velocity, but also kinetic energy. If you were to add orifice ports along the cone (on each gradient), you would be able to see the differential pressure; and it would keep changing on each gradient..

on a regular velocity stack with the same size pipe diameter, i dont think there would be much of a rise in velocity. What im wondering is if the rise in pressure is actually taking away from the velocity.. hmm.. (it should, because they are directly porportional)

that guy designs intake manifolds, makes mini trucks hop, airplanes fly, all kinds of cool stuff

 

I can say from personal experience that venturi's do have their place in performance

 

care to share servion? im always up for a good discussion on this subject...
