General 16v Inlet Port Splitter Modification Strategies

[Guy Croft]

MODEL POST!

I've enjoyed this thread very much Iain, thanks for the marvellous detailed descriptions with photos and all the pictures carefully drawn and annotated!

I must say I do approve of the very 'British' approach to using whatever 'comes to hand' to construct the thing, just what I would do, and to be honest, when you work with metal all the time it's lovely to get a bit of wood to paly with. And it's very encouraging to learn of your progress with the technical aspects of the flowbench and its impact on your head development. FWIW a 7% increase in BPF isn't bad at all and would certainly in itself - assuming the valve-in response is good - show up as increased torque across a wider range and better throttle response.

I would not be surprised if a few folk were after you here for details of how to build the same thing because a commercial flowbench is beyond the reach of most.

Start another post by all means!

I suggest him to open another thread to show us how to build our own flowbench.

Thanks for the positive comments - I appreciate that a lot.

At the risk of laying bare the full dreadful details of the the rig I've prepared another diagram. When you round up all the 'make do' measures it doesn't half look messy, but if people want something cheap then I suppose beggars cannot be choosers.
