    The first time I looked at the late model downdraft intake , I thought that they seriously bumped their head . There was no way that the top cylinder could get air. After all it would rush in and bypass the top , let alone make the sharp 110* turn and form a column and go thru the reeds uniformly .

    Then after taking the time to measure the inside volume of the box , I found out that it held a larger capacity than the actual size of the motor by close to 30 cubic inch's .
    So in essence , it is somewhat of a large "still air" box . The motor will never reach a percentage of volumetric efficiency over 100 to tax the amount of air on hand .
    And just like a four barrel over a single plane intake manifold , they don't pull an intake charge all at once . Each cylinder follow's the rotation . So the air ducting really only needs to refill the "box" at the rate and volume in which it is depleted .

    Those slope lid manifolds have some thought put into them . The entrance has to be big enough to house the air valve . The cross section has to be big enough to both keep the column moving slow enough to where the first cylinders in line don't have to reach out and grab a fast moving target , turn it and fill the runner . As well be the conduit to support the back cylinders . The shape also keeps the air from tumbling as it moves to the back .

    We have come a long way from the old "Ramchargers C/Altered intake ... >



    And the state or the art stuff that my hero John Marcella builds today ...

    I wonder if there is far more reversion in a reed valve motor than a 4 stroke so the rules on the plenum are different.
    I went looking for a cfd program that could do pulsed flow, couldnt find one

    Only with a broken reed ....

    "Conceptual Flow Divider" programs driven by pulsification are a mental gyration of figmentation ..

    However , I did whittle up a new "deck bridge" where I can check real world clearance's in multiple locations ...

    That picture almost gave me a coronary yesterday. George with a carbide Burr that close to my Block and chest. And that devilish Grin to boot.

    I cannot and will not be held responsible for that ...

    First , as an adolescent ... I have many thousands of miles on Yamaha brand motorcycles . So I have nothing but good things to say about their products .

    Secondly , If I had anything to do with it , it would look something like this .... >
