No offense,but i´ll keep the CADs of the slide itself to myself for a little while longer,but i guess we can hand a teaser or two of the base intake flange at least.
It´s all done in solidworks.
The original intake is cast out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy,and these obviosuly have a tendancy to crack at the outer edges due to engine critical vibrations.Ergo,we´ve decided to use an aluminium alloy that is tempered by the name of 6086T651.
It had good machining qualitys,can be anodized(IOW you can pick colour of choice for your intake),it´s weldable(good for any eventual repairs asf).
IMO,the original intake has some drawbacks.Choice of material is one if you conisder street use.Lack of attention to idle air is another,and i guess the list goes on.(We won´t use needle bearings for instance,but a bearing material known as "glycodur")
Further,we´ve opted to "split" the intake.
Reason being that the original AMG intakes were made in various state of tune and by incorporations a split intake you won´t have to buy the slide more than once at least.If you want to alter intake lenght or runner diameter it´s mainly a question of swapping the base intake flange.
As most of you presumably don´t have solidworks in your computers i´ve opted to just take some pics of it all with a common digi camera,and i hope you apologize the picture quality.
(Old pics from an earlier design state approx 2 months ago)
Thing is that it is evident that there´s more to radiis and fillets and such than meets the eye,and the important part here isn´t the design in itself but the motors needs.
Ontop of the runner there is (not shown in the pics)a runner of approx 2 degree taper that is there to cater to velocity losses common with any engine.
That angle can also be adjusted for the hardcore motorsport boys.
In short,what we´ve had in mind here is a modular setup that can be fooled around with that won´t put you in the poor house everytime you wish to alter either lenght or diameter.
..and to be honest i expect most of these to wind up on more or less stock engines,or at least mildly tuned ones.
Intake WILL however be dependant of a stand alone system,and as such any thought of running the KE is just simply out boys...but hey...you can´t have it all

ich wollte nur den punkt dazu beitragen, dass einige deiner kriterien bereits durch meine eigenen erfahrungen erfüllt wurden.
