How we drop intake air temp 40+deg.

[Brad Roberts]

Good job!!

I had some good idea's on different air box system, but the owner of the car poo-poo'd the idea.

Funny part? I suggested to him we take air from both sides (2 years ago) The new 981's take air from both sides.. LOL

I thought about going dual, but is there any cooling issue ditching the fan on the passenger side?

what is the mechanism? body temperature of the intake plumbing causing the intake air to get warm? is this is the case, slowing down the air in the intake pipe before the throttle body by putting 2nd inlet plumbing would seem to make the air warm up even more?
am I all wet???

Does something like the EVO high flow air intake improve this situation ?

This is the set up I have on my car...don't know what it does though!

I recall from thermo dynamics theory that reducing pressure reduces temp and occurs at the narrow part of a venturi where the airspeed velocity is high.

Perhaps some venturi shaped intake could help?

I have that problem in my aircraft where if the intake venturi carb gets too cold it can form ice and needs carb heat to prevent that in my 1400cc VW engine.
