I searched and could not find an answer so......
Can someone please tell me What Z-factor Lift is?
and Intake time Area?
Thank you. attached pic

Code: Select all
Intake Mach Z-Factor = 46.3116 % SOS Exhaust Mach Z-Factor = 66.5537 % SOS
Note : Mach Z-Factor definition = PerCent % of the Speed of Sound ( SOS ) at the Valve's Curtain Area
Mach Z-Factor Valve Lift = calculated from Speed of Sound velocity thru Valve Curtain Areas
System Flow Valve Lift = calculated from Intake and Exhaust System Flow and Valve Diameters
Port Flow Valve Lift = calculated from Intake and Exhaust Port's Flow and Valve Diameters
Curtain Flow Valve Lifts = calculated from Flow thru the Intake and Exhaust Valve Curtain Areas
Time Area Valve Lifts = calculated from User's Camshaft Durations, Curtain Areas, RPM Range

Re: PipeMax question
Larry,
Assume you are limited in camshaft lift. If your intake or exhaust "time-area RPM" is much lower than intake or exhaust "system RPM" is that an indication that more camshaft duration would help HP/Torque? Say, 8000RPM vs 9200RPM. Also, what is a good target for intake and exhaust "Mach Z Factor"? My PipeMax says 0.628 intake Mach Z Factor. If that is too high, how does one slow it down?

Re: PipeMax question
v4.00 to be released soonThanks Larry, I'm still on version 3.98. How do I update?
yes, if Intake or Exhaust Time-Area RPM Range is lower , it is an indication Cam Durations are too smalldhidaka wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 5:37 pm Larry,

you can lower Mach ZFactor by installing a larger Valve and/or lower RPM Range
Time-Area RPM Range and Mach ZFactor, are just "BallPark" extra calculations
that lack additional needed inputs to make them trustworthy , so just look at them as "Trends" , and not as 100.0 % accurate

i just released PipeMax version 4.10no pressure wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 8:55 am Thanks Larry, I'm still on version 3.98. How do I update?
v4.10 is more accurate than previous release v4.00
v4.10 fixes small Bug in Weather HP Correction equations
v4.10 fixes small Bug in Camshaft recommended Specs
v4.10 adds additional Header Specs calculated Data results
v4.10 includes a couple more example Simulation Files
and corrects some typos in a few other included Simulation Files
Download and Install PipeMax v4.10 then Register to receive your UnLock Code

Re: PipeMax question
these are good baseline Mach-Z factor'sIs a lower Mach-Z factor better? Or?
Brian Hafliger
IMM Engine & Dyno
Intake System Range = from around 40 to 50
Exhaust System Range = from around 50 to 60
on the Intake System Range , typically below 40, the Average CSA is too large = lower Port velocity FPS
above mid to high 50's , the Engine will have increasing Pumping losses and HP will fall off
