    Induction kit for valver- Is it worth it

    Yes, probably....:devilish: To imply that an innacurate device will read a predictable change is presuming accuracy.. again I must ask (and all public awareness campaigns and warnings as to non intent for whatever you presume follows).... what bit of INNACURATE dont you understand ?? Rolling...

    Induction kit for valver- Is it worth it

    Ben M8, what you are actually asking is both valid and also the root of the problem one needs a source to deliver a result. You cannot move a box without pushing it or applying pressure or force. So, if the air is at 14.7 pounds per square inch.. which it is roughly... then the force...

    Do you have a personalised reg plate

    the initals point is a valid one IMHO... if it is viewed as an accessory, then one would presume it adds only to the aesthetics.. if, for you only, great !, and peace and happiness be with you ! for all eternity..., but, if it adds to the overall look, then it is difficult to relate to the first...

    Carbon Fibre 172 parts

    Mike,, the current bonnet saves yer life, yer wife, yer kids etc.. it as strngthened to conform to the new stricter standards and incorporates bend locks (locaters to allow for defromation) Your choice ! ;) Joe.

    Removing inlet manifold

    easiest way is to get a haynes manual that covers your engine family.. once the dissasembly methodology is known, the application in your engine bay is straightforward. Have fun, Joe.

    Induction kit for valver- Is it worth it

    Hi Ben, yes.. it is fact that cooler air is denser (more oxygen per cc !!) and this WILL improve power with the correct fueling. But, unfortunately, Nick is NOT arguing this point. He is saying that the forward motion of the car causes a pressure increas in the inlet manifold by having a...

    idiots TB question

    I must (oooops sorry, dont want the wrath of Nick lol) disagree.. they can and are perfectly usable on the road if set up properly.. the old MG Maestro was a hoot.. it used 40 DCNF carbs (2) - a DCOE but in downdraft not sidedraft.. the Lotus Sunbeam, My hs Chevette, the RS1800 etc etc.. all...

    idiots TB question

    and another thing LOL! !!:devilish: Sorry my m8 Ben.. but.. CARBS do NOT go out of tune often as you say.. it is simpy the lack of compensation for atmospheric and wear that is not allowed for (Some allowance for atmospheric,, but none really for wear... Joe..:D

    idiots TB question

    I bet I could get a pair of 45s through an MOT lol !!!. they used to be my bread n butter !... they are seriously kewl, but cannot offer the flexibility of modern computer controlled systems... but the idle, yes, I have no probs with that aspect Simon lol !!:D - it CAN be done.... especially...

    Drag Strip Timing.. what it means...

    Nick m8, you might get better times by not using the available range as the max power figure is probably far lower. And Jon... :) . what r yer plans. ???... a nice diff change ???.... a paddle clutch ???.. going for one on the turbo jobby.. bloody quick change possible too.. within the dubious...

    I have considered an addon box that is exactly that m8. I agree, knobs are easy lol !!. Maybe a five position switch for the gear and individual knobs for the parameters. hmmmmm.. although I must confess the use of an lcd display and up down buttons is easier to integrate.. unless I use...

    Design Ideas, Nick Read maybe

    absolutely yes !. unless you had a wind tunnel and dyno lol... that is one of thae major problems leading to negative effects, on a turbo, you can overcome this by brute force, but not with N.A. Joe.

    Induction kit for valver- Is it worth it

    Simon, yep...;) Ben, he is absolutely correct, increasing pressure increases density. a turbo does this fine. Putting a bucket in the airflow does not however. Mooney Aircraft have a ramair system, it works at about 150 mph from a carefully designed aerodynamic system in the intake on a small...

    I am sure the superbikes can make use of a slight benefit due to the fronatal area and the ridiculous speeds they can obtain.. well over 120 mph.. it is probably more elated to the paragraph below. On an F1 car, there is certainly a benefit from a large collector box mounted well up in the...

    good ideas Simon.. and yes, they are to be incorporated. That is a damn good point re wheelspin !, hadnt considered that directly.:oops: What the outline plan is so far.. 2 PWM outputs for NOS and Fuel solenoids. Individually adjustable to enable mixture compensation for pressure...

    lol, nice one m8.. used to use the mplad and mpasm but foind the picbasic interpreter really excellent, the nice thing is you can drop to machine code any time for accurate timing. will send you the code with comments when more is done if you like. ? ps - what are you working on with the...

    Hi Johnathon !.. nice one m8.. for this project I am using the 16F876 device (You can see it in the pic in the 28 pin socket in the row of 4 sockets (3 empty).. the dev board is the bluebird millenium unit with EPIC programmer used in an in-circuit-programming mode.

    Design Ideas, Nick Read maybe

    I wouldnt disagree in the base theory you desribe apart from 2 areas, unfortunately, they are fairly major..;) 1. the fig of 1psi that you use is fine for comparative purposes, but rarely as high as this. A modern induction system cuases mimimal restriction, but this can certainly be measured...
