Cold air intake

[makeitfit]

There's been a lot of talk on here recently about KnN induction kits and go fast tuning chips and remap etc.
SO I'm going to experiment a bit further with mine.
At the mo I've got me raised air snorkel on the roof jobbie, which is nice:thumbs
That then goes into my modified airbox with KnN filter in it.
Some guys I know disconnect the snorkel for an induction filter in the engine bay. With that comes the warm air debate............:augie
So I'm going to fit a bonnet scoop to connect up to my air box when not raised air snorkeling. Then a short bit of flexi to the air box and seee if that changes things for the better
Tell Zippy I'll do pics :doh

why not make the upright part of snorkel moveable to lay along wing facing forward(ram air) and then when want to go lanning tilt back upright

 

[makeitfit]

The whole point is to reduce the pipe length :doh
Plus I hate sticky out snorkels

I spose its worth a try, but being an inherent defeatist o) my view would be thats its a good idea on a Nissan GTR bit not this clodhopping old POS we drive.:augie

But I'll be happy to patent whatever you find that works :thumbs

think adz tried this a while back almost filter next to the turbo, but given how much air that is involved as he found it makes no difference to quantity of air going in .

i know i keep going on about how much air these things take in , but they are serious air munchers . you wont ram in anywhere near what that turbo will suck in , so your only benefit is going to be more dense air. colder


there the problem lies. you cant cool that much air unless you use chemicals and yes with all this time on my hands i have looked into stuff mostly through boredom , that cold start stuff will cool it, but you cant run on that even as a mix, same as nos

bigger intercoolers become inefficient but the wet coolers look like they might give some but not much extra

so that really only leaves the cooler air from the point of entry , this was my plan to do one day but never got around to it .

i have plenty of ideas on that one , when your around next i'll show you some cool stuff i was working on

sein as its only air not air/fuel mix being sucked in,i wouldnt have thought length of inlet would matter as turbo suckings gonna pull it trough. less restrictive path the only benefit i can see! how about some them fancy holes on wing like on mclaren f1 merc and turn any spare space into giant air box!

compressed air is very very cold and no added chemicals. not everyday stuff but with a full scuba tank of o2 being released into the airbox, controlled from cab with electronic valve, would that not give dence air? or adding the compressed air after the maf, pretty easy to do with a pipe and adaptor, with electronic valve to control amount of compressed flow going to intake after Maf... dence air, more volume and coolder....... cheap man's diesel friendly nos alternative?

Hey, now this sounds like a good idea! Most sensible one yet i feel :thumb2

Oh here's an old thread. I have made the air very cold indeed and that's because I use LPG
It's probably true the turbo sucks more than can be "famed" in but at least it is colder from outside the engine bay.

Extra scoop rams it in nice and cold

sorry but I have to :jerkit: over this last pic:augie
