I need to design a new plenum, i know the parameters i am working within but need some advise on the inlets.

Basically is there a benefit to having some sort of trumpet in the plenum? i have done a bit of research but cannot decide if the inlet needs to be nicely radius'd or a lip machined into the back plate or a proper bell mouth.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Flow bench testing is the only definitive way to know, but I’m sure full radius bellmouths are best if possible.

I reckon the statement "anything with a radius over about 1/8" is in with a 99% chance of working" is a good one to employ here!

It worked for my original X7 aluminium cobble together:





If you can get the router to stay flat/ level...

I thought i might get some good looking chap to draw me up a cad file. i can then contact a machinist, get a quote and a time frame for him to break, get told he fucked it up and needed to be re machined, receive item and have to tell him he's still fucked it up and it needs redoing.. again.
