Hi Eric, Thanks for running these dyno pulls, and providing these very detailed results! Note the tapered spacer you got (PRP1003) was designed for an intake with square opening, not cloverleaf. We have a tapered spacer specifically designed for the cloverleaf intake (PRP1049). This is why I think you got better results, running what we call “hybrid open” spacer (PRP1054) backwards because it provided the perfect transition for the airflow into the intake when you ran it backwards. We’d be more than happy to send you a tapered spacer, that is specifically designed for the cloverleaf intake you got, if you want to give it a try. We carry it in both 1 inch (PRP1049) and 2 inch thickness (PRP1048). We’ve seen best results with 2” spacers. Might be a competitor to your 2 inch 4500 to 4150 cheater spacer :) Thanks again for the honest review!

Spacers that work better upside down is trying to tell you something. Maybe the whole flow situation needs to be looked at. Maybe it is not more air flow the engine wants, but better air flow. Better air flow is not always more air flow. I would study fluidic control systems. These are control systems that operate on fluid only. These types of control systems are capable of accurately switching air flows at very high speeds without any electronics and operate somewhat like an engine intake manifold does. There are some similarities. One of the best books on this subject is Fluidic Systems Design by Charles A. Belsterling. This 232-page book dives deep into fluid flow and how to control it. These fluidic systems were used to control high performance jet fighter aircraft long before the use of microchip-based computers.

Thanks Eric, I enjoy your dyno testing. On a couple of 383sbc pumpgas engines I have the 2" 4 hole or a 1" 4 hole on top of a 1" open spacer has always picked up 6 - 10 hp for me above 6000rpm. These are 580 hp deals pulled to 7000rpm on the dyno. My opinion is the small increase in plenum volume is just enough to get the engine to 7000rpm. I have backed this up at the track as well 3505 lb streeter runs a best of 10.46 @ 126.85mph. 1.43 in the 60ft. Again thanks very much for your time and effort.

I remember hearing Darin Morgan talk about dimples at some point. He said something interesting. While the dimples creates a boundary layer, that layer also effectively narrowes down the tube or port. What he said was, that if the runner or port is large enough, it can work. A golf ball does not have limited space around it, so there will never be the same potential issue of an air resistance due to a narrowing of the space.

Golf ball dimples cause air resistance and what allows the ball to stay stable in the air by causing friction more or less. That’s also why I can control the ball and turn it right to left at will by causing more or les spin to grab the air in whatever direction.
@AB-80X2 ай бұрын
@@Thumper68 You are way off and completely wrong. I have actually tried hitting smooth golf balls, and they go nowhere compared to those with dimples. Dimples on a golf ball create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air, that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake. A dimpled ball thus has about half the drag of a smooth ball. Dimples also affect lift. A smooth ball with backspin creates lift by warping the airflow such that the ball acts like an airplane's wing. The spinning action makes the air pressure on the bottom of the ball higher than the air pressure on the top; this imbalance creates an upward force on the ball. Ball spin contributes about one half of a golf ball's lift. The other half is provided by the dimples, which allow for optimization of the lift force. Dimples on a golf ball does the exact opposite of what you claim. Dimples are also used in other instances, where smooth and fast airflow is needed.

I don't think the basic idea is wrong when people think of golf balls. If it's the object moving through air, or air moving through an object, motion is relative. The issue, I think, is the application. Lots of proven power adding techniques can cause you to lose power if applied incorrectly. Most of the dimple application I see seems to have it's heart in the right place, but really lacks the proper analysis, and testing, from a complete perspective that takes into account all of the variables at play, and where it fits into the big picture.
@seanbrown82692 ай бұрын
Eric did video on dimples during the "internet ports heads" series, and when only applied to certain areas of the port, the dimples helped on the flow bench. They are vortex generators that thicken the boundary layer, so there is no point in using them everywhere in the port unless the entire port were too large. At that point, a smaller port would make more sense.

Maybe not the most flow, but the best flow that is involved. If the center area of the manifold is thought of as a bucket that the runners are pulling from, and the carburetor just keeps the bucket filled. Only one runner at a time is actually pulling air from the bucket anyway. A high flow from the carburetor directed to the center of the bucket to keep it filled may be the answer.

I saw a similar test done on another channel (Piss Cutter Performance maybe), that had similar results with the overturned cloverleaf spacer. Theirs was not dimpled. It is my understanding that the dimples are effective in creating a boundary layer, to keep the fuel suspended in the air stream, instead of clinging to walls. I've seen test with varying results, so it's hard to say. Those dimples, or Von Kharman dimples, seem to be really effective on top of the piston, married to a poor chamber shape. None the less, this was a very interesting test. Thanks for sharing with us. God bless

On the subject of dimple porting I have heard so comments from Terry Redbourn (ex-Mercedes f1 and advance racing engines(le mans)), he said that dimple porting was useful in port injected engines where fuel efficacy was so important that you ran on the lean said of stoichiometric. The reason why this helps is it prevents fuel sticking to the intake runner creating inconsistency in a/f ratio, some of these engines run so lean that they are on the edge of misfiring if they go any leaner. However in a more normal engine application he did not suggest that dimple porting increased power. source episode 105 High Performance Academy tuned in podcast. On your point around 1:15 all motion is relative ball moving through air should be the same as air moving through ball.

The dimples are a gimmick. This test shows more about spacer shape. You would need identical spacers, one with dimples and one without to verify dimple differences. Having the cloverleaf upside down makes sense on that manifold as it would induce a radius into the runners vs a sheering edge when placed in normal orientation. Testing on a manifold with a square opening will be interesting.

@@WeingartnerRacing Its to bad you were not able to test the real HVH Super sucker 4150 flange. Would be cool to see the difference compared to the HVH knock off and the AFR

Waste of time and money. Has already been tried and no significant improvement.

Dude really what's wrong with testing things weather it makes more power or not you always got to test something because you may never know until you test.

The dimples will probably help whenever the manifold is not in "tune" because of better atomization during that time. I.E. the dimples help break up liquid fuel wash into something burnable.

Could the dimple upside down clover on a dual plane intake be more fuel efficient 🤔🤔🤔

He does something similar with the four hole tapered. It wasn't dimple though he put it upside down and he did gain power. I don't know if that would be the case for every engine.

The effect of dimples on a golf ball isn’t because they are flying through there. It is because they are spinning through the air. The spin is the key to dimpling. Girls softballs that are dimpled do not fly any farther when hit by a baseball bat then un dimpled soft Balls why because there’s no spin
