Background:
Continuing the development of the MGM7 intake, the Beta 3 design went no further than the drafting program and CFD analysis.
The Beta-4 design is intended to give insight into the upper limit of airflow capacity.
The intake, following a Go Big or Go Home mindset, is too large to fit in the engine compartment, but is useful as a benchmark for comparing other designs with.
The airflow rate through the Beta-4 does increase slightly compared to other designs and commercial intakes that have been tested.
Some ideas in work for the next version are accommodating a different filter, which will entail more changes to the inlet end, and making some changes to the outlet.
