It was tested to increase HP by All I can suggest is that you read through the warranty and return policy before you install or modify any parts.
Generally, short ram intakes can suffer from heat soak. Depending on the layout of the engine, they tend to be in one of the hotter areas of the engine bay. The idea is to use a heat shield to create a cooler area under the hood, and for short rams, this can be tricky. Great article I loved it and the plastic not metallic part was new info to me. I can see how it helps add hp. BUT for a 20 hp gain blah blah to happen are companies tuning the vehicles to get numbers.
Felix, I have never known Toyota to sell anything that did not work and work well! It has been dyno-tested to add 9. Just wanted to know will this small change increase the acceleration?
Hi Andy, Bang up job you are doing here. Love the info. I just ordered a ram rebel and was wondering what recommendations you have? It has been tested to add If I do, which one should I get? Would I need to install it with anything else? I do not totally agree with this article. Each of them have completely unrestricted smoothly curving constant diameter passageways from the filter to the throttle body.
Both vehicles feature a dedicated cold air entry port to the filter housing. This engine is rated at HP so this is not a lightweight in terms of performance. This kit actually uses the same cold air port alongside the radiator that was designed for the factory air intake system. In actual use then, with the cover off, this kit would be drawing heated air to the intake from inside the engine area. Many of the equivalent kits for the Mustang made by other well known suppliers do the very same thing, i.
Indeed if the HP increase at the redline is reported to be, say 10 HP with the filter box cover off , it would virtually be unnoticeable to the driver. Is this a good thing? I am not sure. Consider this, I believe the engineers who design these air inlets for our cars are attempting to provide the best performance possible. Sure there is a cost compromise at work, but nonetheless no Ford engineering team wants their product to fall behind that of another manufacturer because they scrimped on the air intake system.
Definitely quieter. Will I leave it this way? Only time will tell. For in fact makes part for your mustang that will increase performance, and they are willing to sell them to you. Any recommendations on a CAI? GReat article ty! Should add some decent torque low- midrange I imagine. The whole issue here is BHP the filter is only one component in a list that allows increased BHP you have to marry them all together!
Point is we always want more!!! Along the same lines, trying to run your car while the air intake system is clogged can lead to problems and decreased functionality. Cold air intakes address this problem.
When you install a cold air intake, you move the air filter outside of the engine compartment so that cool air can be sucked into the engine for combustion. This cool air is denser with oxygen, which means there is more fuel for combustion and more power for your vehicle. Your cold air intake also makes for freer airflow and less hot air building up in the engine compartment. There are other benefits, too. An aftermarket cold air intake removes the need for a box to encompass the air filter, replacing it with smoother intake tubes.
However, the new intake definitely makes more noise than stock, and there is a slight improvement in power. And installation can usually be done within an hour or two. However, there are a few things to keep in mind with cold-air intakes.
Some replace the entire pipe that leads into the engine. Additionally, some of these intakes use oiled filter elements, which can build up over the sensor over time, CarsDirect reports. Pun intended. Look into adding a bypass valve to keep this from happening. Also, installing a cold air intake on some newer cars may void the engine manufacturer's warranty.
So look into this situation before starting, or at least understand that it could become a problem later on. Other than that, install that cold air intake and hear the magnificent sound of free-flowing cool air to your engine -- and enjoy a few extra horsepower as well. It may be just what your engine needs. This article reminded me of working on my brother's car back when we were in high school. We made several modifications to his turbocharged Eclipse OK, it was a Plymouth Laser but it's the same engine!
It definitely seemed to increase the power, or at least it sounded like it. I'm pretty sure that mod went better than the time we replaced the intercooler pipe and it popped off during our test run. There's nothing like thinking you blew something on the engine only to find out the pipe just needs to be reconnected! That car was so light and fast that we could get into some good races on the highway.
