On having an air bypass valve on my cai, when I install an N2o kit. Is it correct that the air bypass valve sucks some hot air in from the engine? I think it does a little. Do you think it makes that much of a difference? Or would it be better to have one solid intake so the the air charge is all cold?

 

hummm that's a good question.... wish i knew.. but i'm also interested ..... anyone know

 

The bypass valve is closed unless there is a big restriction at the filter end of it. So no, you aren't taking in any hot engine bay air.

i wouldnt put it on . i had nothing but problems with breaking them .
just my opinion from exp though.
but you wont have a problem with it pulling air. but i would be thinking that it would suck up the nos if the nozzle is before the bypass though.
just something to think about.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll be putting the nozzle after the bypass, so hopefully I won't have any problems. I really don't want to have to buy another cai though.
