Cylinder Head Flow Bench
The maximum flow rate is an important parameter to know when determining which cylinder heads can be successfully tested with the flow bench.
Cylinder head flow bench. Cylinder head flow bench wet flow the latest technique to building high horsepower cylinder heads is to make more power with less fuel. It is used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal combustion engines it is also used to test the flow capabilities of any component such as air filters carburetors manifolds or any other part that. We have a cylinder head flow bench that flows 1000cfm measures in the industry standard 28 inches h2o without conversion.
Many in the industry have become solely fixated on cubic feet per minute cfm numbers placing importance on a number that is easily manipulated and ignoring other data about a cylinder head s performance. Recording calculating reporting and graphing of cylinder head other flow bench data. We can accurately precisely measure and test the flow characteristics of any cylinder head port from any engine giving you a better idea of the hp output attainable.
Cylinder bore adaptors simulate the cylinder of an internal combustion engine for cylinder head flow testing on a flow bench. This thinking would make flow bench testing seem easy but this thinking is wrong and won t do you any favors come race day. This work bench kit from do able products model 12169 is available from lowe s 89 00 or orchard supply 99 00 and can be modified for a flow bench cabinet.
An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. We ll show you how it s done. How to build a flow bench for port and flow testing cylinder heads part 3 january 15 2015 by muscle car diy may 2008 was something of a milestone for me as far as the modification of cylinder heads for more performance was concerned.
