to be honest, custom-ing an intake plenum is quite risky work...have to think about plenum volume / shape / trumpet size / length / distance from plenum wall / airflow@ X rpm / etc. etc.
ie. things i totally am clueless about![]()
it is really hard to investigate the airflow just by guessing technique..
need to use any computational fluid dynamics software such as star ccm etc to study the flow for better air distribution and pressure..
Bro muzhaffar, stock setup already got trumpet, but the shape is like elephant trunk to reduce the induction roar and is made of plastic(or rubber). So I believe there shouldn't be any issue installing trumpets inside the plenum, unless it is longer than 2". Besides, I understand that air doesn't travel in one direction and the plenum is designed to pull air from the bottom portion. So logically it shouldn't be any problem. Besides, you can test it out yourself by cleaning the plugs and checking each plugs individually after a few runs with the trumpets. If all of them are in similar color, then the airfuel mixture should be similar on all cylinder.
agree with the solution of checking each cylinder spark plug..
but is there any logical reason why the long trumpet give better low end torque?
is it because it's air velocity inside trumpet is higher hence produce higher inertia than short one during low rpm and at high rpm it's surface resistance decrease the volumetric efficiency hence reduce the power produce?
just my guessing
dont shoot if i'm wrong..
