vacuum gauge to determine flow??....

Vacuum Gauge Flow bench

I use a 1995 Ford MAF sensor coupled to a pipe that goes to the cylinder head from the vacuum source. Would you like a diagram?
To measure an Intake Manifold will require bolting the intake to the cylinder head.

sure, i'd like a diagram:thumbup:

Sounds like a ghetto flow bench to me.

EXACTLY!! i dont need a fancy,expensive one just to see a change.

hey

hey dave what did you do to this saturn intake to make it flow differently?????

And where's this "ghetto" flow bench?

nothing yet, but i want to cut open up the plenum area and grind down the sharp edges and see if it helps flow by checking with the gauge setup. i also plan to make the runners very smooth,so that the air flows better, and something like this too....http://toyotaperformance.com/intake.htm the 12th picture with the velocity stacks inside the plenum. i know it might not do a difference, thats why i asked my previous question.

hotmetal800, so what wires do you hook up to the calculator(?)?
or what do you hook up to read the maf?

Oh, I bet this is a 0-5v out put and you only get a reference flow/ unless somebody has a chart for cfm vs voltage for their specific maf sensor.

like i said, no fancy setup needed, just something to tell me if it improved or not!

saturn

if you want to open it up a little put a freer fl;owing cat back set up on it even if its a custom one off it will help and be a lot easyer than the whole cut the intake into pieces idea. oh and if you need a new plenum for that saturn when you are done I have a few extras if you need one i use to work at saturn and have a few extra parts sitting around.

oh and no you don't need a header for the saturn just cat back will help and shift at 6700 will make a bit of a difference also. gas milage might not be as good but the power will be up.

i already have the cat-back. i want to use this on an extra manifold i have laying around. kinda of to mess around with it to see if i do any difference.
