Time to go Stage II!

[futten]

one thing i could recommend you use is a air impact with a tool that has a round flat nylon tip to massage the aluminum around corners and edges

but damn this is awsome work

The rear section of the intake plenum is FINISHED! YEEHAAAA!

picture wont show

 

[futten]

now i see it thats pretty sweet

 

[Alky V6]

Now. How should I design the front section?

 

[futten]

How are you getting water to the block? Remote themostat location? Looks like you have to run an electric water pump.

 

[futten]

i think theres a pump behind all that

The same way I did with the Stage I motor.
The cooling water will come out at the front of the heads. No thermostat, but there will be an orifice to create backpressure in the block.
I am using a remotely mounted, electric water pump. The same one I used on the last motor

That was my first thought. But now there are some new interesting plenum designs that help to equalize flow better than the old, simpler plenum designs.
A long, tapered, feeder plenum feeds the main plenum through a long slot with vanes.
The long slot that feeds the main plenum is located above the runners, running front to rear.
The throttle body mounts to the front of the feeder plenum.

This is the room I have . There's going to be two fuel pressure regulators up front.
It doesn't look like I'll have room to do a feeder plenum design due to the hood clearance.

what about something like this? http://www.holley.com/data/products/pictures/large300-126.jpg

That is inspiring.
I believe the flange that will mount the throttle body will need to be split into a lower and upper section.

Amazing work. And even more impressive is all the math and planning. Looking forward to more progress.

fun to think a moron like me might actually be helpfull to someone who knows what theyre doing when it comes to engines and engineering

I just pulled the throttlebody off my old intake to clean it up, and position it for the Stage II project. Here is a shot of inside the old intake with the throttlebody removed.

102mm throttlebody cleaned up nicely. None the worse for wear.
When I designed this throttlebody I had this Stage II project in mind.
