    Stumbled upon this whilst browsing the interwebz. Very interesting read for those who understand, and very well explained for those who dont. Comes with all the maths you need to change your plenum runners for perfect powerband allocation of torque, as well as links to a few handy sites. Thought i should probably share my jew gold :D

    I thought Nissan did this 20 years ago when they used Cray super computers and the Jap air force air tunnels to test the design of the ZX. There is nothing new here it's all about the basic physics of thermodynamics ... google is your friend :)

    There are many different variable intake systems around that tune the intake runner to suit engine rpm.

    Trick is to buy a car made as a sports car, not a shopping trolley ... :zlove:

    WhiteNight Littering and...

    Thermodynamics? Really?

    And wind tunnels for an intake design? Really?

    Funniest thing ive read all day.

    Google is your friend.

    Sounds like YOU have no idea about the topic smartass...Our engines do not have variable intake. For those looking for that little extra performance in just the right place, this MAY be new.

    What isnt new is your comments making you look like a knob.

    Lol 'supercomputers'

    You can honestly by fridges with more processing power than a 1980's super computer..

    And I couldn't see this phenomenon have a huge effect on boosted engines, probably useful for a bit if extra NA ponies rbough
