Maybe it's safe to ask this
while Ed's away :-)
I'm still thinking of what
I'll do for intake #3, and I have to admit that I haven't really paid much
attention to any of the dynamic tuning topics, since I didn't figure I could fit
the resulting manifold in the cowl. It just dawned on me that Tracy
has a good intake, which fits under his RV-4 cowl. Unfortunately, I
don't remember anything about it, and can't find a picture. Does anyone
have a picture that shows Tracy's intake. Actually, I'd like to see pics
of anyone's intake, just to get some ideas.
The current thought is to
get the primary injectors back in the block, and mount the secondary injectors
as close as possible. Does anyone know if the turbo, and non-turbo
injectors are interchangeable? I'm pretty sure they must fit the same hole
in the block, but how about the fuel rails? FWIW, I know (all too well)
that the connectors are different.
I have to admit, that it's
going to be difficult to resist modifying the short, straight intake that I got
from David, and using it with my old TWM TB. This will give two injectors
in the block, and two in the TB. Since it will be so short (about 10
inches), it will be far less than ideal, but I can't say if it will be better or
worse than my current intake until I try it. This is probably the simplest
thing to try at the moment. Now that I think about it, I could probably
practically bolt it on, without modification (to fit under the cowl) to see
how it compares with the other intake in static rpm.
Hmmmm....
Thanks,
Rusty (in search of the
universal intake)
