given that this is about induction systems, does anyone have any suggestions for design of intercooler ducting to and from the engine bay (apart from the standard 'keep it short' and 'dont introduce restrictions')?
it would be interesting to see if there's some research/testing of various setups and their impact on power/noise/etc?
i've seen some long (but very large) IC pipes in drag cars, and can vaguely recall an SW20 with extremely long pipes running thru cabin to a FMIC - apart from lag delays, are there any other issues associated with long pipes runs? are the timing benefits of short pipe eroded away by air speed losses from turbulence introduced by numerous bends? ...
my understanding of physics doesn't cover stuff like resonance, acoustics, pressure-wave propagation in air, etc so i'm kind of floundering.
cheers, charles.
