    Ram Air Effect for Drag Racing: Understanding the Math

    wow, 3psi... i know that it isn't exactly the same as a turbo, less heat, and turbo's have varying efficiency at different pressures/rpm but typically, at 3psi with a appropriately sized turbo, its not uncommon to see 25-30whp. I know aero comes into play, but with the inlet being at the front...

    Ram Air Effect for Drag Racing: Understanding the Math

    I am willing to sacrifice the streetability, but that will be down the road when i can actually afford to build a bottom end to support boosting it.

    Ram Air Effect for Drag Racing: Understanding the Math

    on the bike the engine sits perpendicular so the cylinders are equidistant from the front.the headlight assembly will be where the cone(s) will be put. have to work around the front suspension so I may need to do 2, each one feeding 2 cyl. I have also contemplated layering the front end...

    Why Is Water Flow Uneven in My DIY Pool Heater?

    Dont know how feasible it is for you to do, but some small diameter, say 3/8-5/8" ID aluminum or copper tubing, painted black and put into a zig zagging manner would seem to be more efficient. Slower water travel would also help to heat the water a little more quickly...also, if you have a...

    Ram Air Effect for Drag Racing: Understanding the Math

    Header pipe tuning isn't as readily available here. As it sits, there is minimal back pressure, just enough to create some exhaust scavenging. And the plugs should be fine, the bike is speed density, so between the o2 sensor, intake temp sensor, and the MAP sensor, I believe the ECU should be...

    Ram Air Effect for Drag Racing: Understanding the Math

    I have read up on the ram air/ram jet of NACA times, and how its really only useful at supersonic speeds. my question basically is for clarification because I honestly don't know how to work the math out to really figure out how beneficial it would even be. This pertains to drag racing. I...
