Building A Flow Bench
This is a valid option but we instead opted to build a motor controller.
Building a flow bench. Below you will see some pictures of customer built flowbenches they are in various stages of finish. 3 or 4 of those would move a bit of air don t know if it would be enough for a real flow bench. Generally most diy flow benches modify flow rate by using a manual valving system.
The flow bench is used as a tool for measuring and quantifying modifications and improvements made to items such as automotive cylinder heads and carburettors by detecting air flow improvements. The diy flow bench is a basic system to measure and display volumetric air flow. Building a motor controller severely increases the complexity of the project but gives more possibilities for convenient automated testing and more importantly consistency.
You can see most put their own final style into their flowbenches. Their sales and tech staff ensure that you get the correct system for your diy bench. It is and has been for decades an invaluable tool to any one interested in increasing the performance of combustion engines.
This repository contains. A perfect combination for the beginner or professional. These can be fitted to almost any type of diy bench even older superflow jkm and flowdata benches.

But really by the time you have bought enough of those sorts of things you would be better off doing what tk has or going to someone like aerotech in melbourne and just buying a suitable centrifugal fan and motor for maybe 1000. Small portable low power consumption.
The last 3 pictures are the original prototype which is in my shop being used daily now for the past few years. Pts flowbench build pictures. Performance trends offers a couple of options for the diy flow bench builder.
The basic 2 0 kit powered by a shop vacuum is a great way to build a precision flow bench on a budget.
