Possible ways to improve G60 intake system

Porting isn't always the best thing for all parts of an engine. For example, the 'step' between the engine exhaust ports and the manifold is actually very useful indeed in pulling exhaust gases out of the cylinders, due to the swirl of the gases as the valves open.

 

Also, I've just finished an engineering report on the head loss across pipe fittings, which basically entails how much flow is lost when comparing a straight pipe to seven different types of bends.

 

90 degrees are evil. That's all i'm gonna say. The rest aren't great either!

I guess space is a bit limited in engine bays, but if I had the space and the money, I would design THE inlet system 8)
