Split Ratio roller Rockers loss of power?

[vn_v6]

It's a bravo ute what do you expect. Also I highly doubt it. You expected a difference and you got one. Not hard to figure out.

i didnt expect a difference, where did i say that? i said when it was un inclosed it made LESS power then the airbox. then when i enclosed the pod, it was back to normal, not a very bright one are you?

Got proof or just seat of pants hm?

btw, cold air will always make more power, so running your pod un enclosed you always lose power, its been proven time and time again on dynos.

Same will happen with most OTR's on a dyno. Dyno does not simulate real life driving situations.

Lol oh boy hot air theory again.

I tried it myself a few days ago, top end was holding back as it had to have been sucking in HOT air, when I put my over the radiator CAI back on it felt almost normal again. It's not a bloody theory when I have felt the results myself on a car that has been driven by me for the past three years!!

BTW have you done it yourself? or is your comment just a theory?

Yes I have actually. Touch your plenum after a drive. Is it hot yes it is. Did you know the heat radiating out of the hot metal is also affecting the air and heating it up more then the supposed hot air intake is. There's a reason the plenum spacers where made... The only time I have ever had an issue with a pod is when I had it near on straight off the throttle body and it was sitting over the extractors on the VR which is to be expected.

Edit: Just noted that this was in the TTT sub forum in which case I will stop spamming with dribble.

Doesn't matter what sucker (over the radiator CAI or POD enclosed) you have, your engine can only suck so much.

It makes 3/5 of 7/8 of whatever = doesn't equal much.

Well to tell you the truth, no my plenum is not hot unless I have been sitting still and not gone anywhere while the car is or has been running. I have a 12mm manifold spacer a 14mm plenum spacer also a 9mm throttle body spacer. Regardless of this if you have been driving the car and jump straight out and put your hand on the plenum IT WILL NOT BE HOT! The air is moving to fast to heat up that much.

P.s. The plenum and manifold spacers were made to increase the length of the runners and increase the volume of the plenum, it was an added bonus to make these out of a heat resistant material.

There's is just no talking to some people. OK mate believe what ever you want to. Sick of going around in circles with you.

[immortality]

I did some testing a while back and I proved conclusively that with a enclosed POD you get colder air into the intake filter then you will with the Holden OTRCAI. Data logged using EFIlive driving on the street (stop/start) including in traffic and on the motorway.

What happens on the dyno, stays on the dyno and doesn't reflect what happens in the real world.

When in traffic (especially slow moving stop/start situations) things under the bonnet are going to heat up because there isn't enough airflow through the engine bay to keep things cool including the intake manifold.

cheers

mate im pretty sure i can tell the difference when my car idles rough as guts after sitting still for a while and having no response without a dyno tuner telling me so, if you cant then ur ass mustve been abused for a while seeing it must be numb....u seem to take it up the behind anyway seeing ut always critisizing people. stfu and go find something to do apart from pissing ppl on forums off

I will say the same to you to!

Very old thread but if the car is supercharged I would be looking at what cam stage is installed. YT 1.95 rockers are not designed to work with a cam upgrade from what I know.

[L67 Calais]

lol the threads only 3 weeks old! And cam's standard.

[moggy]

Lol oh boy hot air theory again.

So are you saying all those people running an intercooler in their FI set up are just wasting their money??

Forced induction is an entirely different kettle of fish.

[moggy]

But hot air is hot air regardless. You must of noticed a difference in performance between a cold winters night, and if it raining its even better, and a hot summer day. Just a seat of the pants thing no real proof.
