i read the whole thing plus the comment below... nothing was as you mentioned...
reguardless im done talking to you about it... thanks for the time.
Yes, if you refer to the patent reading, the last summary section, it talks about if you had clever control of all valves. You could open and close certain valves at different stages in the rpm band to give the best plateau torque curve.
Example if the new valves are closed and the stock runner valves closed, you get torque peak one at 2800. If you open new valves and keep runner valves closed you get new second torque peak somewhere between 2800 and 4000 rpm. At 4000 rpm you close new valves again and open runner valves and get 4800 rpm torque peak. After 4800 rpm there will be a good time to open new valves, which means all valves open, and you will get another torque peak somewhere between 4800 rpm and redline.
Refer patent link above with the graphs, Fig 8 is exactly what I just described.
i like the way you think basicly you had a tig welder and some intake parts around to make this work tuning would be easy... like i said before i have a SHO running on the MS (megasquirt) using MAP sensor which you could put anywhere there is vacuum, i am not using nor would i dream using the MAF sensor again.
heck with the MS you could control several different butterflies, i have one of my spare ports on the MS running the butterflies now and only takes 1 wire and 5 seconds of settings and the neat part is you can trigger it under any different condition if you want coolant temp or rpm or kpa (manifold pressure) stuff like that.
what im getting at is controlling another set of butterflies would be easy if you knew what you would use to open them
i mean i gotta fine tune it and all that happy stuff to get the most power out of it but im gonna have someone drive the car for me friday so i can tune the fuel maps while hes driving, right now i got lean under accel and rich under decel and the car feels strong believe it or not...
now i would need to dyno tune spark to get max out but its a parts car and im just playing with it so no need to waste the money.
back to the intake design. im all for the idea dont listen to the others, yeah F/I is easy but wheres the fun and pride in making something like this work?
if F/I was the only awnser we never would have people using ITBs, super high lift cams, crazy compression ratios etc..
from what it looks like im gonna make it black and white here but seems like you could just get your hands on some honda style intakes like you mentioned a tig welder and a tuning device..
im gonna be watching this thread close...
and to think i was trying to find reasons to get on this forum anymore....
