 Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2006 12:32 pm Post subject: Cold Air Intake |
 |
|
I know a couple of you guys have a Short RAM intake installed, but how about a cold air intake? any of you guys plan to install one?
According to my research:
Pro's: More gains than a short RAM because it sucks cold air, while the short RAM sucks in hot air from the engine compartment.
Con's: Always a possibility of sucking in water during the rainy season because of its location - usually near the bumper area. A solution would be installing a bypass valve.
I'll add some more info later when I get more research done. |

| Haven't tried it but in principle it suppose to give you an extra power considering cold air is used for combustion which also means the air is more compact. |

I'm using a cold air intake now with HKS filter. Ok naman performance, deeper sound than a short ram. Yung filter nakaposition sa likod ng front bumper banda sa driver side. Hindi naman aabutan ng baha, water level must not cover more than 1/2 of the wheel safe ka pa

Yup there's also this Celica at Speedyfix naka CAI. Water also got ingested through the filter and his engine's connecting rods broke.

| At least SUV tayo hehe higher ground clearance auto natin in stock form compare to sedans. Which makes it safer using a CAI. Mahirap lagyan ng bypass valve sa atin, walang space eh pero kaya siguro kung custom piping |
