regurgitate?? hahahhahha
you judge me over a comment i made like "I thought I read it somewhere" about Spoon's 11,000rpm ek9? Mate I said I
thought, not I
know.
mate, why don't you think carefully about an engine bay with a bonnet and bonnet seal on and heat thats emmiting from 1. engine 2. exhuast header 3. radiator 4. air entering through radiator. 5. The ARC metal box soaking up the heat. 6. intake panel filter located right where the bonnet is.
After the air enters from the radiator and absorbed by the heat inside the engine and passes through the filter, air box, throttle body and inlet manifold, guess whats the temperature of the air? Me think about it?
you need to go back to your books on physics and science and understand how you get less oxygen particles from hot air than cold air..
More Air, More Power? Yes, but did you think about this?!
Cold air creates a LEANER combustion due to the increased amount of oxygen particles
(dense)per volume which would in turn make more power and burn efficiently.. Hot air has less oxygen particles
(less dense)per voloume which wouldn't burn as efficient and lean as cold air. What don't you understand?
If the ARC was intaking air directly from outside and NOT inside the ENGINE BAY then what you said about the air moving won't get much affected makes sense... right? Air does not cool itself by flowing through a heat emmiter and into the engine bay with heat emmiters and soakers everywhere. Also air moving increases its temp as it can absorb heat. Thats why short ram pod filter is better than ARC.
And cold air intakes comes into affect in high rpms due to the need of more oxygen to burn LEAN. Thats where Pod filters in engine bay sucks when more OXYGEN is needed.
More pipes for cold air intake also which will restrict the instantaneous flow of induction which is why increase of response isn't felt. Short ram intakes have very short pipes, in turn creates quicker induction which promotes response and power in lower mid rpms where also less oxygen is needed compared to high rpms.
Cold air intake's also have the advantage of creating a ram effect if installed properly.
more air, more power? NO... more like more oxygen, more power...
Loss of Torque is the major effect of hot air... and everyone knows and feels that the car goes faster at night time then in day time. Power is nothing without torque. And it's easier for humans to breathe cold air than hot air, why? cold air has more oxygen cells per volume.
but mate, saying
"basically what im saying is dont listen to jugbugz all he does is read and regurgitate information without thinking about it" aint right... I could say you sound like you think you know it all and that everyone should just go to you for questions ...give me a break... this wouldn't be a forum anymore... it'd be a questions to blinx9900 only forum
... save your judgementalness...
Everyone here has different opinions based on their driving style. I based mine on the Street because it's where I use it more. Your's might be for track...which would suit trackers.
It's more important that each user get the correct advise according to what they want to do with their cars. Not about peak power which only looks good on paper but drive like Crap with no pulling power(torque) at all until last few 1000 rpms. Thats why I emphasize my opinions based on the street for those seeking for street using advise. Why would you want to drive a car thats made for the track or drags on the street???
My 50 cents...
