Re: New intake manifold
The problem with the flow analysis is that it can't include a lot of the real world things that you see. There is no pulsed flow or air pressure waves. Others have tried doing the flow analysis, but found that it does not hold true on the dyno. Solid Works has that built in, but I don't think it is worth the effort to set it up for it. If it could give good results, I definately would.
Here is one of the cool things that I include on my manifold that noone else has. Coil mounts! The L shaped sets of holes are to mount each coil. The wires will point straight towards the engine. There are also 3 vacuum ports on that end, they have enough room between them to use a 90 elbow, so the lines will be nice and clean. There is also a vacuum port built into the top picture to supply the BOV. It is closer to the BOV up there to make it react faster and keep the engine bay cleaner, because of the shorter hose.
All of the pieces have a milled out edge like this so it all goes together like a jig-saw puzzle. It also allows for a better weld.
