Nice.

 

when i'm working on shit like this everyday...





... s13's start to be really easy.

 

This is the vehicle/incident that almost restyled the S13 this morning:




Yes, he was dragging it along. I almost had a heart-attack when it first came out of the truck since I was right behind him. Thank God it was tied in.

 

so I need to completely model up the greddy plenum, but now that i'm starting to play with the software and get it to do shit that i want it to do, i can move forward with that stuff. (in between modeling the 20mm restrictor for our car)

here is some goofing around and modeling airflow through a less than ideal plenum:






and one model of airflow trajectory:



from here on out it's a train wreck


stay tuned folks.

 

^awesome.

 

CLUTCH IS HERE!

can I start a Red Clutch crew? haha.

 

ima be at some of the SAE meetings tuesdays... its a easy A for my foundations of engineering class

im trying to get my s14 as my daily first though and get time, meetings are kinda late after my classes

didnt realize you were part of the team Matt

 

Oh yes you can. You can do whatever you want. It's only a crew if there is more than one person though.

 

damn. someone else buy a nismo coppermix!

by the way. don't get a bike. just new wheels and aero and paint. i love your car. no homo.

 

That plenum mockup is sweet!

I'd think modeling a throttle body would be simpler and more relevant, though. I'm wagering that a 60mm hole with a big bar and sideways plate has more restriction than you'd think. Especially since the obstruction runs right through the best (laminar) flow area in the middle.
