Building A Homemade Flow Bench

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

Building a homemade flow bench.

To flow a head you. Establishing the numbers step 1. Owning a flow bench has become easier cheaper and a lot more versatile with kits that are available from flow performance. I have calibrated this bench using my machine shop s superflow as the standard.

The flow bench hearing is as much a tool as anything and getting the correct port velocity so it can make the turn. The diy flow bench is a basic system to measure and display volumetric air flow. Make the port right and the flow is the flow. This is a valid option but we instead opted to build a motor controller.

Diy flowbench design diy flowbench design and construction what s a flowbench. A flowbench or air flow bench is a tool to measure the air flow capabilities of anything that s required to do this.

2007 sbn a drag week winner first only sbn a car in the 9 s till 2012. I regularly have the shop check the flow on one port of a customer s head just to make sure nothing has changed. The flow bench is used as a tool for measuring and quantifying modifications and improvements made to items such as automotive cylinder heads and carburettors by detecting air flow improvements. Generally most diy flow benches modify flow rate by using a manual valving system.

Open the 5 cfm orifice. I have a head flowed by them then put the head on my bench and adjust factors in the calculating tables to get the same readings.
