Homemade Flow Bench Plans

This micro flow bench is the most basic easiest to build flow bench using the flow performance kit fp2 0bs.

Homemade flow bench plans.

But the results are gorgeous. Sand and paint or stain the wood to get the design you. Generally most diy flow benches modify flow rate by using a manual valving system. Optionally add hinges to the top instead of using screws to attach it for it to serve as the lid.

Typically the pressure drop across the component is held constant 28 inches of water or about 1 psi is a common standard pressure for cylinder heads and the air flow is measured. Diy wood benches with back. This is a valid option but we instead opted to build a motor controller. These beautiful garden benches are made by ana white.

Building a motor controller severely increases the complexity of the project but gives more possibilities for convenient automated testing and more importantly consistency. Start with a reading on the manometer with the plate completely blocked off for a zero flow depression test. It is and has been for decades an invaluable tool to any one interested in increasing the performance of combustion engines.
