PROJECT: Cream Puff

[michaelovitch]

dual air intake is a thing i've thought to since a long time.

the last cylinder is the one wich have the more heat from the cooling system and the hotter air intake temperature.

it's the one wich have the less quantity of air on a naturally aspirated engine.


on the VW lt 31 35 etc...it's this last cylinder wich have the air first.

it's not for nothing i think.
the airbox is in their fender but they could have plugged it on the front of the engine if they wanted.

the filter is 4 times the size of a d24 one too.
the piping is a bit bigger too.

but to use 2 inlets will disturb the intentionnally rotationnal flow created with the tiny bumps in the intake.

if you look closely you will see that they are just before each runner and if you try with a water hose to fill the intake you will make the water flow to rotate and dive in each runner.

it create a vortex helping to speed up the flow.

i need to try the two sides at the same time to be sure.
