Warning: Bypassing the Heater Matrix - DON'T DO IT!
#12
Absolutely perfect mate, this is just the information we need! If we can definitively say what size is needed then we are in business!

My only concern with this method is that you're only measuring the restriction at one flow rate, it could get exponentially worse as flow increases? I'm not fluid dynamics expert so I've not a fecking clue, but that's my only concern, I don't know if it make enough of a difference... Other way to do it is to get an XUD running with a larger than normal header tank, then pull off the matrix hoses either side and then measure at 3000rpm, that way we know the flow rate is about right for the engine?

Dunno what your thoughts on this are?
