Intake Manifold Design: Velocity Stack Rendering 4/26/2017 Vanderbilt Motorsports Intake and Exhaust Project

System Design: Helmholtz Resonance Calculations System idealization was 10,000 RPM for Primary Tuning Peak Results yielded 3 tuning peaks: Primary Tuning Peak = 9876.6 RPM Helmholtz Tuning Peak =11,704 RPM Helmholtz Tuning Peak = 2021 RPM 4/26/2017 Vanderbilt Motorsports Intake and Exhaust Project

Flow Bench Testing: Results 1-year old venturi had lower pressure differential than 4-year old venturi 4/26/2017 Vanderbilt Motorsports Intake and Exhaust Project

Intake Manifold Design: Materials Analysis Fiberglass: Hand-lain in one piece (in house) Cost effective for cost report Will still require aluminum parts to be machined separately Aluminum: Machined in house Easily machined Time consuming fabrication process 4/26/2017 Vanderbilt Motorsports Intake and Exhaust Project
