The other day i dyno'd the car, so just for Ha'Ha's i was trying different things. I guess it really all depended on what we tuned the car with .. But.. i took the filter off and loss 15 horse, I threw back on and the outcome was 487@the wheels. I was in Aww.... Just wanted to share this..

 

did you a/f get leaner without the airfilter???

 

The real question is do you know why it made more w/the air filter?

I dont..care to shed some info?

*edit*

thanks for the answer ed...

This is most likely on a turbo car. The inlets of the turbo do have a tper to them, but it always helps out more with the venturi which usually on the inside of the filter.

 

kind of close but not quite there.

 

Probably drew hotter air in from the manifold without the filter? I dunno.. just a stab

Not at all but if it's just told to you w/o thinking what did you really learn?

 

Aeration ?? proper atomization of the fuel and air? I don't know to much about turbo but i know this is a big factor with all motor cars.

 

The air filter straigtens the air going into the tube,like a radius edge when flow bench testing.W/O the filter the air catches the edge and tumbles around for a while.Thats why shawns magic air tube makes power,well one of them.It has a massive radius on the front end.

 

hmm, didnt know that

***goes back into garage and puts back on fliter***

 

A big *** radius is not neccesarily what you want all of the time. This can actually slow down the air. A smaller proper raidus is usually what works best. Typically found in AEM, K&N and Airaid filters. Not a huge *** radius like some people run on there drag cars.

 

I think you missunderstood me alittle,I didn't say big radius's were why the motor made more hp w/the air filter .I said it straighted out the air like a radius does.Radius sizing is whole other topic.That's just something you have to test and tune to get right by trial and error.

 

myabe u lost power cause ur car was on a dyno and not moving like 100 mph which gives u massive air just a thought

whats a better venturi , convergant or divergant?

 

now my question is... if i attached a 8in straight pipe will that be better then no pipe? would it be better then with a filter?
