Automotive engineering issue.

[HardDrive]

My team and I have this new design that should, on paper, make huge power.

But we just can't get it to run. We keep blowing our new top secret intake system. This is just a quick sketch. Any help?

[futuresoptions]

Dude that's easy, the second intake isn't even hooked up... amatuers....

[Superman]

That's already been done. It's called the EGR system.

[Heel n Toe]

You need to hook the headers up to the exhaust ports instead of the valve covers.

A good 4 into 2 into 1 collector system would help. And a gererator.

[svandamme]

Sammy, you keep mocking the gererator, and do so in a completely unfounded and unpractical way... attaching the gererator to a car engine, is like attaching a nuclear powerplant to a windmill... Just plain stupid, the Nuke plant will only blow out the coils on the windmill, as will the Gererator make that car-engine exlode from all the excess power it cannot get rid off..

If you want to use the awesome power of a gererator , you must couple it to the grid, and then get an electric vehicle, and charge that via the mains. It's just to much power to directly couple it to an EV, we are talking MegaWat's / hour here !!

You need to port and polish the intake.

I was thinking he could use the gererator as the alternator then there wouldn't be any parasitic load from using a belt-drive alternator.

[gtc]

This guy has a point:

This is such a bad idea, there is no control over the reaction, you could have unlimited power.

Kind of like pluging an extension cord back into it's self, your going to blow **** up, don't mess with stuff like this.

that turbonator thing would fix that problem, or a cool collar.

[Rob Channell]

Naw, I don't think it will work without an E-Ram in series.

You forgot to add Nitrous

is that what the goverment calls a 'green machine'?
