in the Cold winter,we do not need the cold air intake?
 
one more question I do not understand, in my city, cold winter about -30 degree, it is cold enough {noface} does the cold air intake work?

well - its still pullin in cold air its not like b/c its cold it will reverse and suck in hot air, so ya it should still work?

Still works. Still the same concept - the air that hits the filter will always be cooler than the air that is in the engine bay.

i believe someone had an air intake temp sensor,and they said even if it was 30 degrees outside his short ram intake was sucking in 80 degree air...

Even the coldest air still have to pass through the bay. But 80 degrees beats whatever the stock box pulls in.

Also, living in Ohio, I'd have to say that sub-zero temps. have a neglible affect on performance. But maybe that's just me.

The colder it is out the better it will run, butt less traction.

are you serious???

I don't know about that figure. I know someone tested temp change to be about 2-6 degrees, but that was in 90 degree weather. As for the usefullness of a CAI, the colder the air, the denser it is, which means the more gets into the confined size of the pistons. So an intake has an advantage no matter what the temp is outside.

More air = more fuel = more explosion = more power

However, "need" is such a trivial word. And in all honesty, since most CAIs are made of metal, given time, the effectiveness of a CAI over a SRI is pretty minor. The only thing I will say is that I noticed a bit of a higher end gain with the CAI versus the SRI. Seemed like the RPMS up top took a bit longer to get through with speed increasing steadily.

FOR EVERY 11% PERCENT OF HOT AIR YOU PULL IN YOU LOSE 1% PERCENT HORSE POWER,SO, COLD AIR INDUCTION IS THE WAY TO GO.

Whoa, try the decaf, same great taste, less jitters.

gearbox Mar 8, 2004 11:48 PM

Seriously, though, think about the fact that how much of 1% HP are you going to "feel"?

EVOTHISOZ Mar 9, 2004 06:51 AM

ITS JUST A STATISTIC THAT I READ IN AND RMR ARTICLE

gearbox Mar 9, 2004 11:13 AM

No offense, but, don't trust stats that a company puts out if they have something to gain. Not saying RMR is dishonest, but, just a matter of if you don't know it for yourself, don't take it as truth.

And seriously, the caps locks.

But.. take it from me in Maine.. we had 3 weeks it didnt get above 0 degress, haha the extremely cold air with an intake is not very fun.. it takes ages for the enigne/ car to warm up and when it is 10 to 20 below nothing wants to run well at all lol.
