Cold vs. hot air dyno results by SMSP

[Crono139]

Got this from Honda-Tech.

While at the dyno today, Chris (ProMotion) wanted to try turning the intake tube up and out of the engine bay. This way it was in direct line with ProMotion's evaporative cooler/fans and not behind my radiator.

And who said dynojet numbers can't be fudged .

The red line is the cold air line, it beat the blue line (warm air) everywhere and the AFR went lean everywhere which it should have due to the denser air.

This test was done with a D16 motor.

At least now there's a clear answer to all future arguments.

Yes, good post here. My friend is paying for his short ram as we speak and he thinks that he'll rock out with his cock out when he's not getting the HP that he really wants from a CAI!

GREAT post! Thumbs up for helping out the community!

ive heard you only lose hp and get warm air if your going from a stop, because if your moving the hot air is already being blown out of your engine bay

if you have aftermarket header and get rid of your heatshield it gets stupid hot under the hood.

I'm going through with a "magic intake" in the upcoming months. There have been positive results on all test cars so far.

It will be thrown on after I get my TB/IM swap done.
