Customer's Flow Benches
Our Port Flow Analyzer software has options making it ideal to work with custom, DIY (do it yourself) flow benches. You can also add our Black Box II electronics to give you the accuracy and testing efficiency of benches costing $10,000 or more.
We have improved the testing capability of hundreds of flow benches over the years, many of them DIY benches. Here's some pics of just a few of these customers' DIY flow benches, which may give you ideas on how build your own.
Bill Khamis of Indianapolis, IN Bill built the "mother of all EZ Flow systems", a 6" system head adapter with an 8" flow tube. Bill's impressive and professional system is capable of 600+ CFM.

Steve Adkins, Big "G" Carbs, Kansas City, MO USA Steve has built his bench based on our EZ Flow System specifically for flowing carbs, flowing only in the intake direction. This particular bench has 4 2- stage motors, is on casters and weights about 100 lbs. Steve takes this bench to shows, where he flows carbs for people. Pictured on the right is one of Steve's other "powerheads" where he ganged up 8 3-stage motors for lots of flow. Contact Steve if you want a "powerhead" for flowing in the intake direction. He may have something to sell. biggcarbs@aol.com
