Anyone know what CFM goes through an XJR or XKR intake?

Theoretically as I said a 4L engine displaces 4L air per rev
so a normally aspirated engine at 6000 rpm displaces 4 x 6000 = 24,000 L/min
1 cfm = 28 lpm
so that would be about 850 cu ft/min
But the supercharger is adding 11.6 psi boost.
It needs to aspirate more air than the 24,000 L /min going through the engine
The air inside the engine is at atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) + 11.6 psi = 26.3 absolute so the volume of air at 14.7 psi aspirated by the supercharger
= 24,000 x (26.3/14.7) - yes I do apologise for the mixed units but psi/psi is a ratio, a non dimensioned number.
It makes no difference if the pressures are in psi, Bar, Pascals or whatever provided both units are the same.
That comes to about 43,000 L/min.
But it is theory. There will,of course, be losses everywhere so the true flow would be less
Safe landing though!

It's actually every second rev being that this a four stroke engine so at redline that would be 12,000 L/min. Typical VE for a non-boosted engine would around 70-90% of that and boosted might be around 130-180%.

The peak VE for the NA engine was about 95% at peak torque and about 80-90% at peak power.
The peak VE for the SC variants was about 135-140%.
