Time to post up a little more nitrous progress. Here's two photos direct from lab at NX. The first stage is shown being tested with the plate flowing on the intake Gotta love the technology with the spray being directed to each runner.






Now it's time for the next hit. Stay tuned.

 

That's looking Pretty NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet man. I have been waiting for one of you big boys to start playing with the carb intake plenums

 

Thanks Hawk.

RX, I really think there's some big things on the horizon with the NX kit married up to this intake. Maybe I'll get that old adrenaline rush back

 

Hey what size shot is that being designed to run max?

 

I may have found a reason to go back to NX and give you a run for your money

 

You've got two choices - up to 300 in 50 hp steps or up to 500 in 100 hp steps. Take the plunge my brother.

 

Sick.

 

Wow. Is it just their standard plate??

hmmmmmm to wait or not to wait that is the question....Speed Density tunes worry me a little because i dont understand them.

 

Holley Gemini kit?

 

Yup, that's the Gemini Twin plate.

 

Very VERY nice Eric!

 

Very nice!

 

How is that intake for NA use b/w racing? I love racing my DD, but dont want an intake that stalls out at low rpm use (not like theres much low rpm driving w/ and A3).

Definately sick.

 

Thanks Gray and TwoFast.

Charlie, maybe someone can chime in that has street time with one of these. I can tell you that the flow rates are basically the same down low so that should equate to similar low rpm experience to the LSx stuff.

 

Looks good Eric! NX has my intake doing the same thing right now. Let me know how it works!!

 

Hmmm almost reads like your inferring that this intake outflows the 90mm LSX on the higher rpm side? Sorry, I havent read too much on the carb style intakes, other than drooling over some pict-o-graphs with similar intake and either Accufab downdraft TB or the 90* elbow and 90mm TB. Have any more info?

Charlie

 

Yes there is some data that says it will flow more up high. Also, I think I remember they do actually loose a little down low, but not significant. Understand that my first goal is not the flow rate, but the distribution.

 

Well, it appears there should not be any issue with distribution at all. If someone had a cracked #7 ringland using this intake, I would be in shock as to how. I'm not as concerned about low end flow, unless its absolute **** under 2,500rpm or something. With the current A3 and 4,000 stall, DD I rarely am under 2,500. High flow gains....like everything over say 4,000 or up higher like 7,000?

 

Your gonna need that to keep up with us Chicago boys
