 Dennis,
What was the length - do you remember.

Bill,
It's been over a year since I studied the Renesis intake but this is what I remember.

The lowest rotary valve in the Renesis intake shuts off the secondarie intakes at low rpm.  It is full open for high rpms. The next rotary valve connects the combined primary and secondary intakes from rotor #1 to the primary and secondary's of rotor #2 at high rpms.  With the engine running at high rpm and with both valves open the DIE can work.  The DIE path length is from one rotor intake valve (at the rotor face)  up to and thru the second or upper rotating valve (in the open position) and back down the other intake tube to the other rotor valve face.

Hope this makes sence!

Yes George, I was referring to the Renesis manifold.  Specifically though, I was talking about the valve that produces the D.I.E. effect.  

What a terrible acronym.

Bryan,

I'm hearing you, I guess you mean the Renesis manifold. Maybe someone can duplicate that in carbon fiber, in a more compact form. I know - another job for Bill Jepson.

George,

It’s a shame that the stock intake that does all this using a valve, can’t be used in our application.

Bryan,

I missed where the 43" came from, however from my calculations for 44mm inlet tube, my calculations came to 21.36". That's for a straight tube inlet manifold. That's interesting isn't it.

This is hard for me to visualize as well.  Perhaps if you get a chance, you could snap a picture from the top.

Did you get 43 in. from #1 secondary to #2 secondary?

Dennis,

I just looked at your picture again…the secondary look much longer than the primaries.  It may be an optical illusion???  I bet you mean 1 1/8 id??

All my tubes are the same length and the same diameters.  I can check but I think they were 1 1/4 id. and 1 1/4 od.

Dennis,

Aren’t your primary and secondary tubes different lengths from rotor face to rotor face?   If so, what are the two lengths?  Are they different diameters?
