    lynx inlet manifold

    hello all. I have an 1800cc 8v vw inline 4. I want to fit a single 40/45 dcoe type carb using a 'lynx' inlet manifold that i have. (connects cylinders 1 and 4 to one choke and 2 and 3 to the other for those not familiar) my question is what size chokes to use. there is plenty of guidance out...

    amep models

    im trying to do some rough accessary mean effective pressure calculations. i have found a couple of models in Fergusons book 'internal combustion engines'. however these both include oil pump, water pump and noncharging alternator friction. the engine im doing calculations on is air cooled with...

    turbine corrected mass flow

    have a question about turbine mass flow. garrett give turbine maps for their turbos with 'corrected gas turbine flow' against 'pressure ratio'. what exactly is the corrected mass flow. an equation for correcting the mass flow with temperature and pressure is given. but is it not the volume...

    turbocharged inlet manifolds

    ok. you said you see a lot of skylines fitted with airflow meters, do you mean by this they are not fitted as standard. what do they use as std? sounds like a plenum/MAP set up is the best method then when turboing.

    turbocharged inlet manifolds

    the MAP sensor was one of my concerns actually. what the usual procedure with multi throttles? do you take a vacume/presure feed from behind each into a common chamber and feed your MAP sensor from this to get an average?

    turbocharged inlet manifolds

    Hello, was hoping for some advice on inlet manifold design regarding turbocharged engines. I am considering two different configurations. The first is the conventional way of having a plenum contolled by one throttle body feeding all cylinders. The other was to use one throttle per cylinder...

    "Supercharged!" (new book by Corky Bell)

    so im guessing 'supercharged' and 'maximum boost' are very similar books, only 'supercharged' supercharger specific and maximum boost turbo specific. or does the new 'supercharged' have everything 'maximum boost' had and more? thats the impression im getting. cheers, gareth

    "Supercharged!" (new book by Corky Bell)

    im after a book to help on a turbocharging project im about to start. i idealy want something to help with deciding inlet and exhaust dimensions/configurations, and selecting a suitable turbocharger. you list a few books above. which would you recomend for me? (the engines a flat 6 if that...
