Recently I watched the hot air box on engineering explained and found that with the engine warm there is over 20 degrees difference from the outside temp vs the air that’s under the engine bay. So I thought about modding my Airbox so it will isolate the hot engine air from the cool air that’s being sucked into my turbo
Now here’s the hard part. I know I’ll just take out the baby battery
since I have it parallel with the monster battery I have in the trunk
but I need to cut a hole into the Airbox to accommodate a 4 inch
pipe and have to squeeze it between the charge pipes. Probably more modding to make it fit.
Operation removing tumor odyssey battery complete. Next would be mocking up the modified Airbox between the charge pipes and probably sawing more of the bottom left corner and find the correct location to lay down some screws
heres to more power and low end torque and of course 20 degrees cooler intake air temps.
watch from engineering explained 20 degrees cooler
i think with turbo application it’ll even benefit 2 fold. Since the turbo manifold and the hot side is like a furnish heater increasing engine temp even more And super chargers don’t throw out that much heat
