confused on cai

[soop]

Nothing you'll really notice mate.
Of course sales men are always going to tell you otherwise

i googled that laminar flow soop made sense after a few reads then reading slowly out loud hahaha

 

[VUte89]

bahaha yea they always will

what would you say to people who say that there cai gave them this and that is it just in their head like an aphrodisiac kind of thing

LOL, you're approaching a very contentious subject here mate.

Personally I think its purely a placebo effect.
I've no doubt that a CAI will influence the running of a motor but the real life effects aren't noticible to the driver. I've come to that conclusion after doing modification to lots of differet cars and motors.

As I said before, CAI is misleading the most notiable effects will be felt due to an improvement in flow not air temperature.
Improve everything between the airbox and the intake valve and you'll be on a winner.

All nitrous oxide does is make the air going into the cylinders more dense which gives more horsepower.Its the same with cold air,the colder it is,the more dense it becomes, which ends up making more horsepower...

Well the name says it all.

No2
1 Nitrogen molocule + 2 Oxygen molocules.
Thats why you need a beefy fuel system to compensate!

yea placebo is the word i was looking for lol.

"Improve everything between the airbox and the intake valve and you'll be on a winner."
im assuming the larger TB is a start, then i guess larger diameter piping between the maf and TB is a good direction to go in???

Its not the nitrous that burns,nitrous is a non flammable gas,it just makes the incoming air more dence for a bigger bang.And I think its N20.

NOS adds O2 it is an oxidizer IE releases oxygen when its injected into an engine and heated hence why you feed petrol in with it so you dont just lean the car out

It also lowers the inlet manifold temps heaps when its released into the manifold as it turns from a liquid to a gas.
