My installation appears to have the throttle body positioned similarly, and fed directly (about a 4" straight shot) from the left side air inlet on the RV7 cowl. My biggest concern is ingesting a bird. As built, there's no alternate air available. I worry more about that than a backfire.

Marc:  This is a excellent idea will look and see into a blow off valve, and how to implement it on the intake system (plenum)

Only think I would think of is a backfire or transient causing a pressure that plenum couldn’t handle? Maybe put a blow off valve somewhere on it?

Subject: [FlyRotary] Intake Plenum 13 B

 

Completed the intake manifold for my 13B "plugs up" mount.
Adjustable for the best performance (18 - 24 inch) then can be locked by silicone 50 mm hose
Next step to place the 4 injectors on the 44 mm intake runners.
