2023 HPL Open House

[Malo83]

What! no BITOG group picture.

 

[Rand]

I was expecting more pics and a thread just for the event. Maybe a list of who attended.

 

[TiGeo]

What's a BIOGER?

BITOGer...opps

 

[RDY4WAR]

I didn't take many pictures, but here's what I have. I don't have any from the plant, unfortunately.

Note the HPL ...

Someone please annotate the photo(s) with the BITOGers handles....

 

[TiGeo]

I would really love to do a C&P on one of their K&N filters. I may need to make a phone call...

What's a "C&P"?

 

[AZjeff]

Who's the mean looking guy in the black shirt in the first pic?

Cut & Post ... you need to look at the oil filter forum more often, lol.

I was talking about the air filters.

LOL that was me!

I must have gotten distracted by a cool race car or something and put my thinking face on (that's what my kids called it).

They don't have air filters.

 

[wwillson]

They don't have air filters.

It's a giant tunnel that takes ram air from the front air dam of the car into the intake. Any object that enters the intake gets ingested by the engine. Troy Caughlin Jr's engine blew up and they found a wrist pin in the manifold. The only way it could have gotten there was to be ingested by the intake. I would love to know how many cubic feet/second that 500 cubic inch V8 ingests at 10,500 RPMs.

Assuming 100% VE (volumetric efficiency) it would be 0.289 x (10,500/2) = 1,517 CF/min (25.8 CF/sec). Near the end of the run, the VE could be over 100% due to the ram-air effect.

~25.5 ft^3/s or ~2 lbs/s of air

approximately 1370 cfm (or 23 cu feet per sec), assuming 90% volumetric efficiency. (no n/a engine runs at 100%).

 

[RDY4WAR]

They're over 100% VE at 10,500 rpm. They 120-130% VE around peak torque at 8500-9500 rpm.
