The benefits are HUGE! According to the rest of the climate the benefits can be even bigger.
Yesterday I was able to observe a 6 HP gain across the board from a 10 degree cooler intake charge. This is why 95% of all new cars have a fresh air intake right from the factory as the colder air charge also burns cleaner for a more efficient engine. I have been working on something I "invented" that may help control air ntake temperatures year round to keep the charge warmer in the winter at start up and colder the rest of the time, thats what I was playing with yesterday so it's funny that this came up! |
