Is that the "Pussy Wagon" Uma Thurman drove in "Kill Bill"?Check under the hood for a dead cat.
I have RPI scoops for a while now and am beggininh to doubt the effectiveness of scoops.kubi510 said:i drive it like i stole it . the engine temperture is not hight . im been thinking its because of the brake too .
Drive faster my friend! :wroom::M5launch:I have RPI scoops for a while now and am beginning to doubt the effectiveness of scoops.
That is the point.Drive faster my friend! :wroom::M5launch:
I don't think so. The forward motion of the car create greater than normal atmospheric pressure at the scoops while the air box (before the filter) would without any ram effect would only have atmospheric pressure (at best). I'll let the RPi guys chime in here (again).This would imply that there is a high pressure area inside the air box and a low pressure area near the scoops.
Indeed!The MAF reads airflow, it has no mechanism for blocking airflow.
Indeed! The pressure shall be greater at the scoops, but once the air box is pressurised (before the filter) the scoops shall not be able to do anything, as the air flow in the engine through the filter is restricted.I don't think so.

Not a good analogy I think because the engine drawing in air creates a partial vacuum (in a non-FI system).Indeed! The pressure shall be greater at the scoops, but once the air box is pressurised (before the filter) the scoops shall not be able to do anything, as the air flow in the engine through the filter is restricted.
Therefore, the scoops shall only be effective until the air box is not pressurised.
Its like blowing a piece of paper in a bottle, it shall not go in if the pressure inside the bottle is equal to or greater than the pressure outside the bottle.
Exactly my point.Not a good analogy I think because the engine drawing in air creates a partial vacuum (in a non-FI system).
The only time the throttle body butterflies are shut is when the throttle is completely released (short of the minimum opening necessary for idle), at which point you don't need any extra air.Indeed!
But the DME controls the throttle bodies and inlet pressure valves based on the readings provided by the MAF Sensors.
Therefore, it does control the air flow, indirectly.
