I will have to go see what Bill said about a "real" ram air intake  |
I have been waiting for someone to notice that bold part on some of the other forums.
I wonder if they make a 3 inch one way flap type valve? (cant think of the technical term right now) If you put that on the stock intake location it would close up if there was a positive amount of pressure, but I dont think it would be worth trying. If you want to see if there is a difference put the MAF and IAT PIDs on the screen with the stock intake and then with the modified. Look at the readings under the same RPM and LOAD(So the 4 you pick would be IAT, MAF, RPM and LOAD).
You would judge improved IATs by degrees from actual temp but the other 3 should be pretty straitforward.
The reason I say both RPM and LOAD is because at 2000 rpm you can have 20 grams/sec of air with minimal load but 70 g/s with increased load. Cruise control will probably be the easiest if you dont want to take a series of datalogs and then stitch them together (not
too hard to do though but if your interested but unable you can send them to me).
...hmm maybe I should see the effects of air intake restriction on my intake since there really isn't any info on the 4.6s.
