Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
Onya swaffie.
At least you post what you know.
NS has posted over at another forum that he was guessing(even here too).
NS has then posted that what another guy found( and I have the utmost respect for the guy) years ago (22 from memory) that it backs up his guessing.
This doesn't quite do it for me, sorry NS.
NS, the first thing you ever ask for is a boost and AFR chart to back up a dyno run.
How about you back up what you talk about with your own data?
It's a simple request, and I would think we are entitled to that after listening to some of your waffle this year!

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
Actual AFR's or EGT's for the different cylinders.
I'm not saying there won't be difference but you made a statement earlier as if it was fact, then went onto say later you were guessing.
And most people would assume you have your OWN data to back it up.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
What is guessing about it? Just because I take data and do the math's on how something performs doesnt mean its a guess...
If you fit a manifold and it leans the AFR off, the EGT will be lower. Its a simple scientific fact.
If you have seen any flow bench data on a standard manifold you will know exactly what I mean.
It doesnt take a genius to figure out how bad the standard manifold is even without testing. So im not really sure what your posts are trying to achieve?
Do you not believe any upgraded intake manifold will even the airflow out through the cylinders, lower EGT and give a leaner AFR?
If your referring to my post where I put up Temp figures, please read it again...
And as for OldMav putting up his actual test figures, it showed my estimation of actual temps was well short of what he found anyway. Massive temp spread due to seriously low airflow through some cylinders.
Anyhow. We have a couple of big builds coming up so I am more than happy to do the testing again and post it up. EGT per cylinder, AFR per cylinder will be much to hard due to the size of the sensor vs size of the port.
What else would people like tested?

I will get a few different manifold designs flow benched again and post the results up. Waiting on our new design to be finished before I get them all tested though.
Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
Would be good to log intake temps on each cylinder on standard manifold. Not exhaust temp of cylinders. Old mavs testing was done 22yrs ago with not so desirable equipment.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
I rekn that individual intake temps will tell the sory of inlet manifold flow as measuring individual cylinder temp is dependant on injector flow, actual cc spread of pump, injector line length (thats a little fussy but) .
Having said that im really not that sure if we will gain anything from it as Pete has done the basic testing and we all know they are shit STD and most aftermarket manifolds will give the required flow to all cylinders. Its not as critical in a diesel for AFR control as it is in a petrol that will detonate an engine at the slightest hint of airflow/fuel mismatch.

easy to measure AFRs per port with a big sensor.

If you looked at dates and times of the post, you will see my figures were up before OldMav posted his data up anyway. So your assumption of me using his data is not true.
As I said, with the builds coming up I will test everything you have asked for. But of course thats not good enough for you, because you want the data now...
Im not really sure why your questioning honesty for a start, or the data I post up.
Just about Everything I post up has a significant amount of data with it. AFR curves, boost curves, temp's, torque, power, explanations of how things work etc...
Your no different to all the other guys out there that have a dig because I sell 2.5" exhaust's on modern CRD 2.5L engines. Even after I post up temps, backpressure, power, torque etc.. they still refuse to believe it can outperform a 3" system.

End cylinders may be slightly higher due to longer soak time in the manifold. Its not something I have bothered testing in the past but I can do a basic cylinder 1 and 3 and 6 test to see if there is a spread between the shortest and longest length's.
New manifold will be from scratch, going to do away with milling the top off standard manifolds as soon as possible.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
What your doing is a perfectly fine way to do it. The problem I face is its impossible to make each one identical. And there is no way I can charge enough to cover my costs even on a modified standard manifold, let alone fabricating a complete custom one as you are doing.tye1986 wrote:DamDam you haha.

But, the benefits to making one from scratch are significant. Port length, tapered diameter changes down to the valves and plenum volume all make big differences to how well it works.

The only reason I am doing it is because I sell every intercooler with a manifold + all the single manifolds I sell also. So its a 2 person full time position wasted just in cutting/welding etc..With pre folded tanks. Even with two full time fabricators the back log of orders grows uncontrollably (remember I make kits for alot of other vehicles apart from Patrols)
Yes the cost may be significant initially, but in the end the amount of labour saved will be worth it, and every single one will be perfectly identical and exactly how I would like them to be.
We have never been targeting marketable and profitable items, just concentrating on making sure what we do sell is the best you can buy.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
No you misunderstand Matt. I'm talking about exploiting the Laminar flow outlet of the laminova cores to ensure even slot feeding of air into a secondary plenum so the pressure is even all the way along,
You'll see the point if you visualise each cylinder breathing in turn out of the secondary plenum.
the point of the taper in the primary plenum on the dual plenum is to try to evenly distribute the air through the slot into the secondary plenum. the laminova cores will acheive this function far better than a tapered pipe.
take the top of your second picture off that is the primary plenum, make it feed the secondary plenum. which is what the original manifold is at the bottom, but the coupling between the two has some design to feed evenly all the way along. a big fan shape... a trapezoidal thing when looking from the side.
rebuild the factory lower half with curved bellmouth shapes into the secondary plenum.
this is what the insides look like. Not a well constructed example but it illustrates the concept. People are using these on TD5 VW motors.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
I still think we are trying to overcomplicate something that doesnt really require this amount of attention.
As Swaffie has said its about "show us your intake manifold" and a lot of people have made there own and im sure whatever style you design and make will be an improvement over the STD version and if we show whats around people can make an informed decision on what they would like to use and will suit there own personal application.
A simple high mount tapered centre design or log style for the front mount guys is fine and i am sure the cylinder head and camshaft and given RPM of a TD42 wont care too much for a scientifically designed inlet manifold when there are other efficiency areas that need attention.
I mean have a look at Nizpro manifolds for the petty circle, they support huge power and are restricted by vehicle application (as in engine bay design) .
Lindsay by all means tear up some $$$$$$$ doing it but i would hate too see a lot of time and $$$$ wasted for not much gain.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
Looking at this the gains would be more for saving space and been able to move the plenum, Performance gains would be minimal. Possibly improve response time if the TD has a T/B too.MikeH wrote:No you misunderstand Matt.
It all helps a little, more even air flow into the 2nd Plenum. The feed into my intercooler does not suffer with the issue the above is trying to over come as it come in the centre rather than the end.
But have to agree a lot of work for little gain other than space.
One key thing a lot forget is your not filling all of the cylinders at the same time with air.

Potentially you could run massive boost pressures as a cylinder gives the maximum strength rather than a flat surface.
What's your thinking? To feed air in from one end and collect it around the outside circumference so it exits at 90 degrees to the inlet air feed?
Or do it the other way and feed it from the side and collect it in the middle?
Cheers Andrew.

Re: TD42 show me yur intake manifold.
The exit can be either way as you have suggested but I was also allowing for straight in straight out as the water feeds are all at the same end as the centre feed, the other send is blind and just a return, if you look closely you will notice the sectioned end plate is out of phase with its counter part.awill4x4 wrote:I'd thought of something along those lines as well Matt.matt.mcinnes wrote:I quite like the barrel idea too, been working on this but not for a TD 42.
