hope im not getting annoying...
I have a extra AEM intake laying around and got wondering about a few things...

Firt a few questions:

If you mixed: Oxygen (pure) into the air intake would it increase performance or be better for the engine to breathe either PURE oxygen or a mixed ratio of pure and outside air?

I work for a large company in the R&D department of a exotic computer computer and have access to a load of fun toys...


UPDATE:
I drew a picture to help explain.

well if it wont work for oxygen then maybe a nitrous bottle chiller?

thanks

man...ur a freak!!!

 

built it

 

I have one on my lawnmower.

 

Might want to read up on why nitrous oxide is used vs. pure oxygen...

 

sorry guys... im a noob... i talked on AIM to some people and learned the whole oxygen thing has been done...

didnt mean to waste a thread...

see the the other discusioon here!

PEACE

 

That's the same thread.

 

lol!

 

eh. oh well see prelude forum... talking in there anways... peace

 

pure oxygen? BOOOM!!

Haven't you hears those stories of people who have to carry oxygen masks from smoking?
They always catch on fire when they light up a cigarette, imagine that in your engine bay.
stay safe-use Nitrous-much safer

 

yep, pure oxygen = bad idea. I suggest forced induction, where air is compressed and you can supply more fuel = more horsepower.

 

injecting pure oxygen is basically what happens when you use nitrous oxide spray in the intake charge. As pressurized, the N20 becomes volitile and separates into N and O, nitrogen quickly pairs up as it is happiest as a diatomic molecule....

Anyways nitrogen buffers the compression and the burn rate of the air/fuel charge so that things are slightly less likely to turn your pistons into shredded tuna cans. With pure oxygen your margin of tuning error would be razor thin, as well as your charge distribution among the cylinders becomes critical.

Bad idea, IMO.

Interesting... the system cools the intake charge with some sort of pressurized cooling system, like a mini-AC.

I would think that residence time of your intake charge would be very small, thus making it hard to generate significant benefits from this.
