Blowing into CIS?

[Peter Berrevoets]

Huw;

I think we're talking about forced induction with the turbo/supercharger
feeding into the metering head as opposed to drawing through it.

It would seem to me that this could create a 'rougher ride' for the metering
plate, than would the draw through approach, particularly under slam-shut
pop-open throttle that blows the michelin man (hose) and pops off the
intercooler (end caps).

Might have some interesting possibilities;

turbo - intercooler(1) - metering head - intercooler(2) - intake manifold

or a sequential arrangement;

turbo(1)small - intercooler(1) - secondary intake that would open under
vacuum - metering head - turbo(2) large - intercooler(2) - intake manifold

add some extra fuel injectors, water injectors, nitrous...

Interesting - now you just need the space a Bentley has under the hood as
opposed to an UrQ!

Just a thought...

Cheers!

Peter
