Prototyping is fun :)

Keep us posted on the findings. Inquiring minds want to know.

Can you make it out of something that can expand, like plastic, much like the resonators that are on many vehicles intakes or are you trying to keep it metal so your production cost will be lower?

Things that expand/contract with reversion are not a good idea. Throw in thermal characteristics of various composite materials and transitions between hot/cold means that the settings will vary on a day to day basis to to the change in elasticity of any give material throughout a thermal cycle. Metal is the best to use in this application as it has no adverse affects as the given temp parameters. And yes it's far cheaper We're talking reversion cycles of 1-6K+ per minute, not just a 2-3 cycle bellows rate. I don't know of any OEM application of a plenum reversion chamber made of plastic or some other type of flexible material for the above reasons. Very few cars have reversion chambers from the factory anyway. It's mostly a race tuning tech whiz thing

More to come. Came up with yet another nify trick that I"m going to try first. Subscribe
