My son and I are working on building a flow bench to do some porting and polishing on cylinders and to explore making the induction system a bit more efficient.
Does anyone know if there are any technical documents that list the air requirements in PPH for Lycomings?
I know I can calculate this assuming 100% volummetric efficiency but I'd really like to know what the real-world VE numbers are. But since the fuel flow numbers are widely known (in PPH) I'm wondering if I can just assume a 12.5:1 ratio and get the air required.
