KRMit Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yea that's like that tornado fan that is supposed to give you better gas mileage and would probably restrict air flow. Just think someone got rich off that junk. Actually I bet that would work pretty well if the fan speed was controlled by the throttle. If I remember correctly it was on/off though. Which means you'd have it off at most times and that big fan is going to restrict air if it isn't blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 There is no such thing as RAM AIR. The only way to pressurize an intake track is by means of a turbo or supercharger. The phase "ram air" was coined by the automotive industry in the 60s. It would more accurately be desribed as cold air induction. There is a huge benifit to using air 70 degrees cooler than the air under the hood of a car. The advantage is from the drop in temp. no ramming is going on. With my hood setup, and a K&N top hat on my air filter it'll gain you about 10 hp over a cold air induction type setup. The force of the moving air flowing right down into the air filter, plus whatever the engine is pulling in naturally will net you a hp increase. Hence, ramming the air into it.
