Finally found the pics of the All-Out Example for what you guys were asking

Not mine BTW, but in theory I could do this. Wish I could give full credit too, but I have forgotten the source. At least I can let the art live on

Back to reality

Put the Ported 931 head back on to set up for Intake testing. Tested Vane changes as well as injector behavior.

At least on this head, the injector costs -3 cfm. So I am thinking of machining new injector bungs to raise it up a bit.

I could get the vane to improve max cam lift flow but the overall area under curve was not as fat.

Updates to follow

Today, I will take a baseline reading and install intake to see what happens

I think the injector needs to protrude into the port.

But isn't the hole a lot larger than the injector? An insert (fill with epoxy) that makes the injector fit snugger in the port?
Edit: looked at the pictures in prev pages and I was wrong, its pretty snugg in there.

I agree, I don't think it needs to protrude into port either. I think it should just be right at the opening so spray pattern is still normal. It was loose so I just kept screwing it up and down to see how it repeated

Side topic: Do you know what happens with flow when the seat is not cut deep enough? So it's slightly above the chamber surface. I expect best is completely flat and blended in?

I would think that matters more for the exhaust which is supposed to be slightly lower than the intake and blended in with a nice radius (Vizard points this out as well as others). The intake flow from the CFD pics I have seen, doesn't turn and come off the unfinished shrunk-in edge of the seat. Its coming off the last edge angle after the 45 in my case. I am just trying to blend the outer edge of my seat flat with the chamber.

Its been a weird day. The intake matters and it matters in a way I would never have thought.

The vane may be tossed out the window after today.

I ran a baseline with vane

Installed intake with vane. Lower end flow gained a couple CFM but then it lost flow on top more dramatically, 14 cfm at max lift

Removed Intake and vane. Ran test again to baseline with no vane. Received numbers I am now used to seeing from previous sessions.

Installed intake (no vane) and lost a few cfm down low to mid lift up to .3 inches but stayed the same or gained few at top lift

Here is the mind blow

Almost essentially identical to Vane with Intake

What an exercise. Vane is great on "ideal conditions paper" but...

The Intake matters

Interesting results, thats why i talked about having the intake on in earlier posts. with the angle the intake has it will make a difference in the flow angle and distribution. So maybe you have to make a new intake aswell WHats the way forward from here?

curious what the NA head does with its intake...and maybe its TB as well as an option.

It is good you pushed for the intake test You made sure I took the time to lift the head on a new longer cylinder to fit the intake. With the intake at that angle I figured there would have been a turbulent area, similar to the vane in shape and location, that the flow would ride on. The hope was my vane would take its place and make it more efficient. It didn't. So again, its good you pushed me!

For this head, no new intake right now, only because this head is for the Club Sport with the TMIC. Not sure what I really could do with a setup like that. The idea was to put in a temporary engine while I sort a real build (re-build). Didn't realize it would take me this long but I like going down rabbit holes apparently. I have a used stock bottom end prepped but I don't know its history. Hopefully its decent enough to get me through the summer

Update for those who don't know: Something crazy happened to the original motor right before me. We never really nailed down what happened. So when I got it, she was limping on 3 cylinders. I knew that of course, so not a big deal. Always trying to figure out the "why". Seem to thrive on it except this case was a sad story

This will be the Standard from now on for sure. In your case I would have to be a bit more detailed. The other intake ports would need to be closed if tested with throttle body. Need to pick up the upgraded throttle body as well. Once I get to the NA, I will start small and build from there. I am curious how a simple clean up performs

In all cases, the only velocity readings I think that matter would be closer to the valve. Taking readings near port inlet seem useless to me now if the intake changes things

Cedric I never answered your question

Way forward: I think I will port a bit more on this head in the classic manner. No more strange stuff. See if I can get a bit more

Then get this back head together! There is much to be done. All the other ports, valves, etc

Might do a cam. Not sure yet

Hmm, the failed vane, was that the baguette or am I confusing things?

Yes, baguette is the same as the vane. It could be that the baguette/vane might work well with an Intake that is straight on the port. Parallel with it

It seems the stock intake has such a bend into the head port entrance that the flow gets directed in such a way that doesn't work well with the baguette/vane

We need straight trumpet style intake

Lets see what I can do with stock intake. Also thinking about making a intake test plate for the bench. What is the limit of the Intake ? hmmm

More observations from yesterday. I tried smaller vanes near the short side radius. Sorry I had to try , still have that itch. I was switching between intake and no intake and forgot the clay around the port opening with no intake

The observation with no vane and no clay trumpet radius, made me realize you have to trust your porter and everything is relative

Without clay or vane it lost -3cfm at .3" / -14cfm at .4" / -22cfm at .5" and port was noisy.

No Vane with intake takes -3cfm from .1 inch list through .3 inch but causes gain all the way at the top .5 inch of 10-11cfm

This is that relationship between ideal, or perfect, port shape to the actual ported shape

You can tell the port likes the intake too, as I install and get close within 3mm the flow gets quiet

So with Intake on ported 931 head and no vane, I am at 171-172CFM at the top of lift
