Alright /o/, I'm in college, and I need a school project

>Scan using office printer
Dooooog. Don't you have an electronic caliper? Don't do this half assed shit.

what a waste of fucking time effort and money

arnt you paying these fuckers to teach you?

i mean like the average professor makes damn near 100k a year and they just say: HEY I DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO TEACH YOU SPEND 280 HOURS ON WORTHLESS BULLSHIT
think of it this way:
that 280 hours at $8.10 an hour is over $2000 of wasted time

for me (a non college student who went straight into the workforce) its closer to $5500 in lost revenue
is your time that worthless to you?

in 2 years whatever shit you make will be in the trash and somene like me will have 2 years of on the job experience over you

Port shaping on this head is quite irregular afaik, so it wouldn't just be a matter of taking some calipers and redrawing it. The scanner + Autotrace idea is actually pretty accurate.
I've used it to exactly match an S&S carb (pic related). Took me 5 minutes to whip it up, whereas drawing and measuring every single curve would've taken me much, much longer. The end result was spot on, even when it was just for shits and giggles.

On the final product, I'll probably port-match I by hand though, just to be sure.

If you've got a better way to make a set of ITB's, I'd be happy to hear it from you.

And in 20 years, you will still be counting pennies.

>>Mill 4 blocks that smoothly transition from the port shape to a round 42mm bore (using 4 axis mill) and hold the injectors
Pic related. Can't be bother to draw the injectors now.

Do you have any feedback, or are you just going to keep on replying to 1 poster?

Final sketch assembly. Yes, I'm OP, that's why colorised it like a raging faggot.

I'm not looking for someone to do my homework, I'm looking for people who have already made a set of ITB's. I'm not exactly keen on wasting hours on a paperweight, I'd much rather have it be functional.

who cares?

After looking it up, pic related is supposed to be the correct C20XE head. Nicely geometric (just 2 shapes, basically), so a set of calipers might indeed be better than scanning it.

>>16542169
Alright, I'll fuck off to /diy/.

>>16542146
Not to be one to point out the obvious, but very few if anyone here has made a set of ITB's let alone functional ones. You have a better bet to go around to different auto forums and casting a wider net.


You're more likely to get shit posts here instead of real solid advice.

Too bad, I was hoping there might just be some technically adept people here.
