Q:is the k&n 77-3050kp air intake street leagal in california?

There's really no reason for any cold air intake not to be street legal. If anything, they just de-tune cars, but I guess that could increase pollutants. Cold Air Intakes (CAI) are terrific in theory, and worked great before cars became computerized. With the advent of fuel injection as standard equipment along with computerized fuel / air control management, cold air intakes are no longer even feasible. The basic problem arises when you start making changes to the air intake, you also cause the computer to attempt to adapt to the new intake system, altered airflow and temperature of incoming air. You'll frequently have problems with your sensors when changing air intakes from stock to the after market intakes, and usually the only positive that results is the sound of the air intake. Performance is very rarely affected in a positive way by using an after market air intake since the computer will attempt to restore the original settings based on the original intake system for which it was programmed.

Q:Wats better having a short ram intake or a cold air intake? And why??? ?

Cold air intake (CAI) is designed to draw in cooler air but in actuality is no different than a Short ram. All the heat produced by the engine, circulates under the hood and beneath heat rises but the hood prevents the majority of it from escaping causing it to find any way possible to be released. Unless the the intake is close behind the front bumper or underneath the car (which is a bad idea due to water puddles) to draw in cooler air, warm/hot air will more than likely be what is drawn in. No noticeable gain with either. Turbo cars benefit greatly from them since the intake ratio of oxygen is higher then a non turbo.

Q:My intake system is kinda screwed up. I wanna install cold air. I was told if your suspension is bad then it‘s not good to have cold air.

execs: it seems that extra valuable than inventory and clean up an excellent style of area on you engine bay your vehicle can breath extra valuable therefor extra horsepower the filter out will in basic terms choose cleansing no longer changing cons: you pays attention the air gushing interior the engine

Q:I want mreo performance out of my lil 2.8L V6 which is bored 20 over and has a beefed up cam and have a pair of hooker headers im gonna throw on. I have seen do it yourself cold air intakes since no one makes one for my model/year of car would a home made cold air intake work on on older car? What is needed of my engine to be able to install one?

you should be able to install it no problem. there shouldn't be any computer problems to worry about. your car shouldn't have a computer. now as far as performance, you won't really notice any difference with one of those.what you should look for is a turbo set up from a grand national and have someone custom fit it to your 2.8. seeing the grand nationals are 3.8s. now that you would definitely notice. ) vroom vroom! just don't s#!t yourself when you find out how much faster it is. LOL!!! good luck.

Q:I was thinking of buying a fujita short ram intake for my 2005 Acura Rsx, but im not sure which one to choose, any help or answers?Thanks,

Both are fairly bogus concepts in a modern car. Your Acura, like all modern cars, already has a cold air intake. Any difference in restriction only appears for a few seconds at full throttle and very high rpm - at less than full throttle the throttle restriction is more than the air filter and at all but the most extreme rpm the stock filter restriction is negligible. The short ram is a throwback to the under-hood intakes that spawned cold air intakes in the first place. At high speeds it can bring cold air in decently, but that's about it. Perhaps the ram effect will help? Well, ram air pressure is ambient air pressure (just under 15 psi at sea level) times the square of the speed relative to the speed of sound at that temperature. 60 mph, for example, is 60/767 or .078 mach. The ram air pressure is .09 psi (0.078^2 x 15). At 30 mph the boost drops off to 1/4 that, .022 psi. That .09 psi at 60 mph is equivalent to reducing your altitude 150 ft.

Q:Ok So I‘ve decided against a Cold Air Intake.Now What about a AirForce Throttle Body Spacer? Is that a waste of time and money or do they work?

cold air intake is not a waste of time and money if it is TRUE cold air intake. Most cheap cold air intake kits aren't really cia. They pull hot air from inside the engine compartment. Manufacturers like volant make kits that are enclosed and pull air from the fender and work very well. A throttle body spacer is a $100 paperweight, they are worthless.

Q:I want to learn how to upgrade my car. I have an 07 corolla and I would like to install a cold air intake.The only upgrades or car work I have ever done was changing my own oil, checking hoses, really really basic stuff.I‘m pretty good at following guides. Are there any guides I can look up that get into detail that are easy to follow for doing this?Thanks

brake fluid should be changed every other year really. coolant is every 30,000 miles or 2 years again. just taking what is in the reservoir on the master cylinder will be a short term fix because what is left further down will circulate to an extent and the new will look old again before too long. yes, i have flushed by brakes., it is not bad.

Q:whats a good cold air intake for a Dodge Ram 2008 at a reasonable price? But it‘s not a cheap one as in quality of the pipe And the air filter

From eternity to eternity.

Q:i have a 1999 vw beetle and it over heats when i sit in traffic and i was wondering if a cold air intake will help any to keep the engine cool ???

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/1xRFn They still spray the leaves with pesticides to keep nova off during growth and harvest so, you'll always be smoking poisons.

Q:best air intake for 04 ram hemi?

Welcome to the world of I'm going to throw money at my truck, car, motorcycle, etc. without doing any research as to what will improve my MPG, horsepower, torque, etc,. Today's engines are computer controlled to produce the best combination of horsepower and MPG, changing one physical portion of the induction or exhaust system will often upset the factory settings. The computer can only correct for changes to a certain degree, after that it's downhill for power and MPG. I just read about the vararam and it sounds more like a top end manifold since it states it flows 100% air at idle which sounds odd to me since all intakes are flowing 100% air at idle, fuel is added downstream in MPI engines. The results sound impressive shaving a second off quarter mile times for 4WD and 3/4 second for 2WD. Having more than a few years experience drag racing, I would suggest that the bottom end (torque) suffers for better horsepower in the upper RPM range of the engine, torque gets you off the line, horsepower takes over and gives you the speed. The sooner you can make more horsepower the faster you will go, it's a balancing act for best e.t.'s at the strip.
