This is one of those channels that will go on for a few years with painfully slow growth, then at some point EXPLODE with massive exponential growth and I look forward to seeing it
Go ask for filament and 3D print sponsorships, you deserve it, and it never hurts to ask. Imagine if you had a large format inconel printer, you could do direct print to install testing. You have such a unique and intelligent project that deserves support, and I wont mind the sponsorship additions to the videos. Id love to explore a similar intake for my mazda 3 2.5 where I intended to have ITBs but am enticed by this new tech.
Ive designed an ITB airbox for my BBR ITBs on my MZR 2.0 motor on my mazda. Very similar to the 2.5. its a sealed connections so i can run it off MAF. Let me know if you need help. I can give you some tricks/tips.
You should filter the air coming out of your 3D printer, particularly if printing with higher temp plastics they tend to off gas some VOCs that are not healthy, you should be able to get rid of most of them with activated carbon filter.
@@StandRacing I don’t mean to alarm you or make you paranoid about 3D printing, it is just a precaution. Adding a filter to my own printer is still on my todo list even though I only print in PLA.
N62B44 I have wanted to play with this engine for so long. Good bore stroke ratio, variable valve timing, variable valve lift, variable intake runners.
That graffiti wall looks amazing! Your camera doesn't seem to like the lights in the garage lots of weird dark bars going through the video hmm. Regardless, I love these update videos and just seeing whats going etc ❤ not much of a car person but your engineering ideas and solutions are fun. Greetings from Germany
If you are running a plenum, there are zero benefits to having ITBs. In fact, having an ITB in the runner's path at low or partial throttle actively reduces induction system efficiency. ITBs only gain power over traditional induction systems from the increased coupling of sound waves traveling up and down the runners and being straight. Having loops, a plenum, and a closed throttle blade at low load negates that. All else equal, the same design with a common throttle body will be more driveable and efficient while making the same power. If you have a plenum, you effectively have a throttle body (that is open to 100%). Sorry, that is a little long-winded.
Not zero. In a plenumed ITB setup, each cylinder is helping to bring air into the plenum volume, so the pumping loss should be lower than an open stack design all other things being equal. In this application, the added throttle response from the ITBs will help this underpowered car feel a bit more wild and loose when going from a closed throttle position at turn in, to WOT at apex and corner exit. But above all else, the ITBs greatest value is their novelty and their sound 😎
Not actually correct, while I do agree a conventional single throttle body setup could make more power and be easier to produce, a well designed plenum setup does make sense with ITBs and this does not have to be argued as you can look at race cars and OEM designs instead, the engineers spent some time with their choices I promise you

Thanks man! Can't hurt to ask

Open source, cool idea.

That's a great idea considering how quick the transparent panels get foggy. A lot of that is going in my lungs too.

For the collector part, test out different designs like a merge one, center feed. Sr20 and k20 aftermarket is great sorce of inspiration

Got any grapes?
I totally missed this video.
Looking forward to more!

Sorry about that. I noticed that too, my other camera doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Thanks for the support!
This on a 2JZ GE application would be super cool as an all motor build and not be conventional and go turbo.
I mean, a 2J is to a turbo as an Oreo is to milk. But I always love going against the grain.
Absolutely love this project man. just wandering what throttle bodies you've designed the system around? Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support! This is currently based on Triumph TT600 tb's
Why not just incorporate a long tube exhaust system as an intake?
Are you going to make one for 1.6
Is there gonna be one for the 1.6 na
oval tubing for curves. Frank

if that were true, BMW wouldnt do Plenums on basically all their ITB setups, historically
