I don't know, I thought 12" was the biggest you could buy before getting it made custom.$$$$

can you post some design notes on this puppy? maybe some pics of it as it was getting put together?

I see some things that look... different and I can't figure em out.

Cool Marc, good thing I am not finnished mine yet I can still add 6" to it

hey question what do you have in it about 8" up from the bhottom of the reaction chamber? is it a difuser plate and if so how do you think it has affected the bubbles?

What size of tubeing are you useing for the air inlet and what control are you useing. Do you find the becketts are hindered by the common inclosure or is performance increased

Lost mind,

Ive changed this thing so many times to get it just right i can only show you some pics of its first designs for assembly.

Heres a couple,
This is of the manifold, so it pulls evenly and spread from the bottom.


Here it is with dual diy injectors, and no collection cup, foam was pulled out at the top.

Here it is with three injectors...

and finally the cup and 4 beckett chamber was added.

I heated up and bent the cup in two pieces, so theres a seam, but i wasnt about to go out and buy 6 feet of 10" tube to make a 5" high cup.



Steve, the plate was put in as an after thought...there was soo much flow in that column, it seemed to be a bit unstable...it would run fine without, but it seemed to calm it nicely enouph in tests to warrant permanent install.

Tony,
Its not bad at all to clean actually, or upgrade....i had installed flanges on the box top to remove either the reaction column or the injection column.

Andy,
The line is 3/4" air intake.
I have built a few multiple injector housings in the past, and to be honest i couldnt tell you if it really hinders or helps performance...if it does its very little.
All i know is its much more compact, and a little cleaner looking.

Marc.
