ECC Custom Drag Intake Manifold development

[John@ECC]

We are developing our own Drag specific intake manifold to go with our new drag turbo kit.

Details of the turbo kit will be released in the coming weeks but here's a few pics of the runners that were made today.

no penetration on the welds, have you thought about getting them mandrel bent?

The material is very thick on this prototype. Maby in the future to cut down on costs.

 

[ryan_v]

yeah, good luck with them!

cant wait for the finished product not many intakes on the market

A very smooth inner surface on the runners, can't be bad for flow.

Must say there are some very nice items coming out of ECC lately. You can be guranteed anything that gets released with big claims will be up to the job, they do have a very high spec GT to test it on, all well and good saying something but being able to back it up with a real test is what speaks a thousand words.

true bill. you've enough nitrous to blow the welds on the intake hahahahaaa

pmsl!!

you guys done any aero flow tests on this design? built it in cad to find flow patterns and turbulence vortex's before constuction?

I've got a good aero package somewhere if I can find it when I was designing manifolds for our 3sgte drag setups, don't mind shooting a copy over if you have anyone anyone good at cad over there. very very good bit of kit and certainly makes sure its going to do what you want it to do. means you can tweek the design before you even build anyting. trying different plenum designs/runner setback, runner diameter/length/taper etc and throttlebody entry designs.

Hope it helps

imo its all about mandrel bends !

 

[John@ECC]

Got these made the other day

velocity stacks very nice

Really good development there John, cannot wait to see the finished product.

 

[John@ECC]

Some more progress made.

Interesting design, any reason the bellmouths protrude so far?
Have you done any flow investigation by any chance?
Keep the updates coming!

i find the varying lengths of the velocity stacks can help draw a smooth flow if there plenum chamber is slightly chaotic in flow, plenum end volume past the start and end stack can also play a part in this.
