would a dual filter intake free up any horsepower??

 

i am not sure i follow what you are talking about.

and i dont even have to, the answer is no

 

no. your motor wouldnt be able to use the air at the rate its coming in, so it would just be overkill. just get a regular CAI, or one of those short intakes for better throttle response.

 

y wouldnt it be able to use the air.. n i have a cai i was just wondering

 

Dual filter intake ? Does this even exist? It certainly wouldn't be worth fabricating.

because your motor sucks X amount of air, and its not going to suck anymore by just adding a bigger hole for it to suck through.

ARC....JDM bling that makes you lose power (not even kidding)

kinda like the dual snorkle breathers on older domestic engines....

edit: ive actually seen a 3rd gen camaro with dual air filters that came down under his grill.

y would u lose hp?.. would it offset the fuel to air ratio?

did you know that an intake can be tuned? at a certain RPM, the air coming in an intake shaped a certain way can actually cause the wind speed to actually increase significantly? it has to do with the motor creating intake pulses. Honda's are renowned for this to happen at around 5252 ish rpm where you will often see an upwards "blip" in a dynograph... if you have the correct size/lenths/shape of intake you can amplify this and get the charge to actually pressurize its self slightly...there was a thread on this in the all-motor forum...interesting stuff....the ARC airbox is meant for mass flow rather then tuned velocity, therefore you cant take as much advantage of this factor making you lose power

 

I like the bling on the valve cover, but I think air pressure would be lost in the crank case. However, the extra intake filter on the valve cover probably wouldn't hurt.

Yes it does exist HKS makes it but its mainly for Supras and Skylines etc.

What you fail to take into account is the fact that the filter creates restriction. Increasing the overall filter area (in this case, by adding a second one), if done properly so as to maintain intake velocity, could certainly yield gains over a more restrictive setup.

Idiot, now that you told him that he's gonna go buy one tomorrow.

JDM *****, BLING BLING!!!

 

Wouldnt those be for TT Supra's and Skylines?

no. that's two filters on a single intake arm

look at the pic bro

 

it actually says for twin turbo applications on the ad.......................................

that was kind of a over simplified explanation. And I dont think it would make much of a difference over the CAI he has.

look at the pic and see for yourself. tt means two turbos
the intake in the pic has two filters attached to one intake pipe
my friend has one on his FD powerd FC single turbo

 

have you ever seen a stock twin turbo setup? there not 2 seperate turbos, more like 2 compressor housings on either side of the unit, and 1 exhaust housing

 

yes i have and plenty of them, and yes the two turbos aretogether but they also have seperate pipes that go to each individual turbo. i know for a fact that the fd's are like that

Oversimplified? In what way? How exactly do you think other intakes produce power over a stock setup? By all means, I encourage you to add further detail to my "oversimplified explanation" for the benefit of the members here.

 

just get a cold air intake.. thoses dual air intakes are overkill for your motor..
