I'll start off by saying I have NO idea about the science being applied relative to Silver Spear's intake mod - other than agreeing that cooler intake air is better.
My question is, in a real world setting, how much of an improvement can this mod really give, or in other words is it worth the work? I'm assuming that any car engine sucks in a LOT of air when it's running, meaning high volume that doesn't stay in the intake plumbing long enough to effectively cool it assuming you have the means. Am I wrong?

I am also hoping that this thing works. If not, I could say that i have at least tried, or explored another possibility. I will also keep half of the system i made: Quote:

SilverSpear, while i applaud your efforts, i believe i have a much simpler solution.
i have my Trunk Monkey rub ice cream sandwiches on my intake, which in turn lowers temperatures and gives increased performance. this added power comes at a price, however, as the monkey insisted that his title be changed to Enginebay Monkey, and he gets to eat any leftover ice cream sandwiches after our driving adventures.

Silverspear, dont mind them.
I just wanted to bring up a point I was thinking about. A small fan does not have enough power to offset the temperatures in the engine bay. Instead make a hood scoop that will blow cold air onto the top of the copper intake. This will provide 10 fold the amount of air that little fan is pumping and doesnt require any extra wiring. |

Another thing to remember though is that copper will easily corrode, so using a hoodscoop would require some kind of method to block out the excess moisture which will corrode the copper.

Powdercoat it, use clear and you could keep the color.

I believe that the pluming (in homes this days) or pipes are made out of copper. In the becouse is less likely to corrode.....
