Hi guys!
Anyone has an idea of building an air intake dyno simulator. I want to put the same air condition in the air intake of the engine running in the dyno, as it is in the race track, for correct fuel mixture adjustement.
Thanks
Best wishes

get an air pressure transudcer - its kinda likea bellmouth with an electronically controlled fan that bolts in place of the air intake on the dyno and can be used to control airflow into the engine

Get a vacuum cleaner, some clear tube, and some colored water.

Hi guys. Thanks michael and DjHache...
First, a Vacuum cleaner? What I need is to generate pressure, does it work in reverse way?
On the other hand, Michael..could you explain me more about the pressure transducer? may be some link.. Have anyone already done that kind of device? A link will be useful for give me and idea,
I am a little worried about a plenum camber, Should this device have an plenum camber?
Thanks a lot.

Read that and think about whether or not it's worth your time to go through all that trouble for a FSAE car. Your time would be better spent working to make the car very reliable and have a driveable calibration. You time should be focused on earning as many points as you can at competition for the least amount of time, money, and manpower. Since there are never 'enough' resources to do everything you want to, you always have to figure out how to generate the most amount of points with the resources you have available.
