Hi,
I will be using a submerged inlet for charge air and cooling
for
the 13B in an EZ pusher. Has anyone computed the size of the scoop
or
inlet based on air consumption of the system? For example how much
charge air is needed by the 13b 400cfm, 500cfm? How much air is
needed
for cooling? Rad volume of 500cubic inches to 700 cubic inches?
Frontal
area of the radiator? It seems that builders start with the scoop
suggested by the designer, however, how many designers suggest using
a
13B? Thanks for any help.

Assuming a 50 F increase in air temp across the radiator, you need 2700 cfm
for each 100 hp.
I expect to achieve roughly this delta T on a 90 F day and air velocity
through a 2.5" thick core of about 35 mph. We'll see.
