So I got the intake tacked together and was doing some flow testing to see if it was balanced at all. I started with leaving a little of the v in the bottom of the mandrels to divert the air away from cyl3 and of course had little to now flow through cyl3. Cut one side out and it was a little better and then opened it up completely and cyl3 had the highest flow. Then I started playing with the plenum volume with some cardboard and just increasing the plenum size changes the cylinders with the most flow dramatically. This is understandable due to the way the air is bouncing around but I was a little astonished how much. Depending on just this one variable the cylinders with the most flow change almost completely. I am going to build another mock up of a completely tapered plenum to see if I can balance out the flow. Mostly I want to reduce the degrees at which the air enters the plenum to something closer to 18 degrees. I will have to see how much room I have in the car as well.
