Hello everyone!
I'm planing on making an intake plenum from carbon fiber and kevlar. It is for a turbocharged car, so it needs to withstand some pressure!
The boost will be under 1 bar at the moment but I'm planning on testing the part on 3 bars at least, for reassurance.
The parts will be made from heat resistant Vinylester probably, if not Epoxy resin and vacuum infusion.
I'm planning on using 3 layers of 200gr 2X2 Twill Carbon fiber and 2 or 3 layers of hybrid 164gr Plain Carbon/Kevlar, alternatly in the layers.
By that, I mean, the first layer will be Carbon fiber, then Carbon/Kevlar, then Carbon fiber etc etc.
Will these layers and fabrics will be enough? Should I add anything or change any of the layers?
Here is the 3D model of the parts in assembly.
