I have been making a flow bench for quite a while now and am stumped on the area around the orifice.
The airbox and fans are already finished, along with the fans.
So far here is what my bench looks like
The ABS tubing on the bottom (or the horizontal) is 3" and will be transitioning to a vertical tubing of 4".
My plans for the future are to have an ABS tubing above the orifice plate to act as a settling chamber.
My questions are:
1) How thick/large should the orifice plate be to measure the flow of an intake runner?
2) How would I test an injector angle? And how would it change my setup?
3) I want to include sensors to measure pressure and maybe flow. Where would be the optimal places to put them? And how many of them should I get? I want to get a digital readout, so if anybody can link me to a specific make or brand, that would be much appreciated!
I am very new to flow benches, so please bear with me!
