Gumby688 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok I am adding flares to my ports I see that several ports now have dimples how much difference do they makes or should I just stick with the normal flared ends?

MrSkippyJ Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 don't dimples add turbulence? I thought that is why they were on golf balls. Seems you would want to avoid turbulence in a port. but that just a guess.

Gumby688 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 From the info I have gathered so far the dimples actually reduce drag thats why they have them on golf balls Quote Clarion CX-501 HU Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-A4 on Rockford Fosgate T152 5.25 in center console and Rockford Fosgate T1682 in front factory Rockford Fosgate T2500-1BDCP on subs 6 12inch RF HX2's in 13.4 cuft. tuned to 30 with port in 47 with it out 240 Amp American Armature Alt 100AH C&D in back Optima Yellow top up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 so i read up real quick. they create turbulence around the golf ball, which reduces drag. Read here, I did http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/sports/golf/basics/question37.htm maybe it would work in a port, I don't know Quote F150: Stock 2019 Harley Road Glide: Amp: TM400Xad - 4 channel 400 watt Processor: DSR1 Fairing (Front) 6.5s -MMats PA601cx Lid (Rear) 6x9s - TMS69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby688 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I was looking at ports at percision sound and they are offering dimpled ports now so I thats what got me wondering and thanks for the link will read up Quote Clarion CX-501 HU Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-A4 on Rockford Fosgate T152 5.25 in center console and Rockford Fosgate T1682 in front factory Rockford Fosgate T2500-1BDCP on subs 6 12inch RF HX2's in 13.4 cuft. tuned to 30 with port in 47 with it out 240 Amp American Armature Alt 100AH C&D in back Optima Yellow top up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996BLKBauer Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Didn't some of those newer Lincolns or Cadillac have dimples on the bottom panels for aerodynamics? So that they get better fuel economy. From what I remember about golf balls, is that the dimples are there to help the ball cut through the air for more distance. I am unsure if it would help, but if you can easily do it, try it, or make it interchangeable so you can see if it even makes a difference. EDIT* after reading the link above, I believe that dimples may not help that much, unless you need to move something through the area, such as a golf ball. Also if you are making turbulations that mess up air flow wouldn't you need to make your port bigger to allow the same amount of air to move through, but easier. To be honest it sound like a lot of work and thinking for something that probably not make that much of a difference.

Gumby688 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well been looking around and reading they are supposed to add .4 to 1.1 dbs depending just the dimpled vs. smooth Quote Clarion CX-501 HU Rockford Fosgate Punch 400-A4 on Rockford Fosgate T152 5.25 in center console and Rockford Fosgate T1682 in front factory Rockford Fosgate T2500-1BDCP on subs 6 12inch RF HX2's in 13.4 cuft. tuned to 30 with port in 47 with it out 240 Amp American Armature Alt 100AH C&D in back Optima Yellow top up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedTalent Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I am unsure if it would help, but if you can easily do it, try it, or make it interchangeable so you can see if it even makes a difference. x2. Build it, make it interchangeable incase it doesn't work. Quote Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
