how much hp would i net if:
i put a cold air intake and ram air into my k8?
and before you even start, i know it would be smarter to drop a klze in there.

You wouldn't net anything, you might free up a couple, and get a cool sound to boot!

Re: how much hp would i net if:
In a silver '94 GS, with good compression, you'll get 1¼HP with a good CAI. WIth true ram air like mine, you'll get 2HP.

Re: how much hp would i net if:
I've put damn near every bolt on you can onto my K8, and it's still slow as hell. All I care about for now until I get called back to work is that I can beat a b16 and still get good mileage and make my EI stretch hahaha

Re: how much hp would i net if:
Depends on the set up you use...meaning if your "cold air intake" is sucking up hot engine bay air, then you wont really gain anything but a nice sound when you blip the throttle. Now If you do a decent custom "true cold air intake", ie. filter located in driver side fender area, etc, than your gains could be anywhere from 2 to 5 hp. The main benifit of the true cold air intake is that when the motor gets to operating temp, the stock filter location sucks up hot air causing a loss in power, where as the cold air intake sucks up cooler outside air. Don't believe the hype about intakes netting 15 horsepower gains. Maybe on a turboed ze with built internals, but not a stock K8.

on your worklog site there, the intake you've done is "true" cold air, correct?muttpower wrote:Depends on the set up you use...meaning if your "cold air intake" is sucking up hot engine bay air, then you wont really gain anything but a nice sound when you blip the throttle.

did you have to cut a hole, and would i have to fabricate that myself?

Re: how much hp would i net if:
Yes, I fabricated my intake myself, and no, I didn't have to cut a hole. There is ample space in the area between the driver side fender and coolant resevoir. It's not too hard to fab up a custom intake. If I'm not mistaken, there's a faq/diy topic on this.

Re: how much hp would i net if:
I just bought 3 inch aluminum intercooler piping and a crap load of clamps and silicone couplers. You can normally find piping kits on ebay for cheap. To cut them to size, you can either use a pipe cutter(if you have one) or a cut off tool(much faster).

Re: how much hp would i net if:
Like I said, Ebay would be the best bet. But some autoparts/racing supply stores should have it as well. Or you could just go the ghetto way and use pvc piping

Re: how much hp would i net if:
The color silver reflects heat, causing the air molecules around the car to be less dense, thereby...
I was kidding.
Here's another one; In Japanese culture, silver is regal, so the workers have a tendency to put more effort into building them...
