GrimZ34 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I was going to make a custom cold air intake for my car that goes into the fender and comes out at the frunt air dam. What do you think is it worth it..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Oh yeah, it'll be worth it if constructed correctly. Anytime you can cooler air into the engine, that helps with performance. Cooler air is more dense and will have more oxygen molecules to burn more fuel completely creating more power. The only thing you need to watch out with a cold-air intake (CAI) is large puddles of water. Sucking up direct water into the intake manifold and into the engine will create "hydrolock". Since water is virtually incompressible, the force the engine tries to compress water will bent / break internal engine parts. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimZ34 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 ok i knew the cooler the air the better but alot of people have said that the short ram air intake was better... myself I think the cold air intake is the better way to go, Thx..

5speedz34 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 The short air intake, will at idle grab air from the engine bay, which is naturally going to be hotter, but when your moving it'll grab cooler air but mostly from the engine bay area. Your best bet is to go and if you can make a good set-up go with the CAI. A few members on here have made one, you have to remove the battery and relocate it.

Finding a small one off another car is one option, or you could just ditch it all together(I very rarely use mine anyways). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonyman87 Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Dude.. why the hell do you have a 5000 watt sub on a 100watt(300jensen watts) amp. i bet you dont hit more then 130dbs and thats being jenerous with that wattage. Put a little more power behind that speaker and you might just then be untouchable db wise.. im talking Minimum 750watts(NOT cheep amps like jensen, bolt, lightning audio, or profile but amps like eclips, fosgate, orion, US accustics, or kicker).. other then your amp it looks like a good work in progress.

GrimZ34 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 yah i plan on getting a 1500watt audiobahn amp but I have no money at the time (christmas) and your right im barily tuching the power of the sub but i still cant beleaive how hard it hits with only 300 watts...

Canada Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 As a side note........ While the battery relocation method is the only way to get a true CAI setup on LQ1 cars, the LHO's and L82's CAN do a CAI and still keep the battery in the stock location. I know BIGBULS has posted some ideas on how to do it at least twice............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
