We talked about using a leaf blower as a crude simulator for creating a charge. The Sportbike testing methodology linked a page or two back looks like a good way to go about it, but it also doesn't look particularly cheap, unless you have free access to HVHP compressors, a dyno, and instrumentation. Even all of that would be easier to gain access to than a rolling road or dyno equipped wind tunnel.
Keep the airbox and ducting ideas coming. It may take awhile, but once Bill gets his latest design on a dyno, we'll have some numbers to discuss. It'll be interesting to see non-charged output vs. simulated charged output. Even if the simulation isn't known to be realistic, at least those numbers would prove or disprove the basic theory and design.
