have a google at msa cage regulations, it will give you two alternative diameter and thickness tubes that can be used, as for lengths of tube etc it will all be down to cage design. take a look at custom cages website, they have a fitting guide for their weld in cage and the work is quite extensive, maybe show that video to you fabricator and give him the pipe dimensions and go from there

as iin pipe dimensions or general length ? or design?

will be confirming this with supplier in the morning when i place the order

if you do i want your wheels!!!

exactly what i thought dude to be honest. i would see them as more of a restriction if positioned protruding out of the intake runners but like you say if they were flush on the inside it would be alot better

which link?

No digs dude, just genrally interested in it hence the topic, ther is not alot of info on inlets at all in general, plenty of thoey ehind it but not alot of practice

I meant stacks in the intake plenum dude stacks on the turbo then yeah they serve a purpose, just cant see the purpose in an inlet :S

will do buddy, tis the whole point of this thread

so after we have started the first stages of development for our inlets, im lloking for peoples opinions on inlet design. i found a thread that was done by an evo specialist about different types of inlet and the design of the inside etc so it seems from this guys findings that velocity stacks dont really work but decrease power and torque thread is here its quite a good read http://highboostforum.com/forum/showthread.php/20866-Intake-manifold-dyno-tests-and-facts-only goes rather in depth as to what the inside of an inlet is like and how one should be made for optimal flow. all of the runs were done on the sam car, engine, spec the only difference being the inlet. thoughts, discuss

Midland turbo

to be honest buddy at this stage I may start them from scratch work a couple of different plenums in cad and do flow simulations to work out what will be best for all round and big boost will see what happens in the next few days with it

from what ive read and seen tapered runners are better suited for gaining power with forced induction and stacks are better when n/a.once we get one in our hands ill be making one up in cad and running a flow simulation on it to see how it will perform in theory

thread cleaned!!!

right going to push forward with these now guys, we have forwarded the desingns to the manufacturer so we should have confirmation of price later in the week ill keep you posted

thanks for that, has given me some points to think about either way it is a base that we can improve on if needed

we can have them made with or without the cut out but we will clear all that up if/when we get to a group buy stage

^^ in reverse the speedo still spins the same way will take an age with a drill

you can take the clock apart but it is insanely fiddley

They will be tested, can you explain what you mean by too large and the wrong shape? if they are proved to work on higher power applications then they will sell @ jake there is no reason for them to cost the best part of 1k with a throttle body, the simple material costs and time taken to make them doesnt equate to near 1k

there was anew hybrid on here the other day for £200 have a look in for sale section would be immense

updated pics on first page

thanks for the input simon. might just order one to fit so its all fresh

should be fine buddy first one is going in ryan langs car whos running a hybrid at the moment so will see how it is for bite etc. cant see it being an issue though

clutch should be here this week with any luck guys so we can get it fitted up and see whats what
