Intake piping volume calculator? Proper length and volume intake
#23
I'd be curious to see him route an intake down just like we normally route IC piping, and then into the bumper, to draw from the passenger front side of the car.
I vaguely recall someone on mnet doing this many years ago, with decent results. Would have to heat wrap the thing though, to keep the radiator air off it

In response to 18psi - That's the way I've always wanted to route the intake, that way it gets the freshest air. It would be longer than Emilio found to be the ideal length, but might be offset by getting much cooler air.
Also, it would be neat to convert the passenger headlight into an air feed for a custom air intake box.

Im pretty sensitive to whats going on with my car. If I drive to a 1000 ft different elevation, its only a difference of 4whp, but it feels significant. (General rule of thumb is 3% difference per 1000 feet)
thats why i know ill be happy (if i gain any power with this intake) because i can feel it baybeee!

Anyone know how resonance/harmonics work?
If I maintain the same ratio of volumes (total effective intake volume to resonating chamber volume) will the Helmholtz effect be preserved in the new intake?
What I'm planning to do is seal up the oem intake, and completely fill it with water (with the resonator removed?) to get the volume, then do the same with the resonating chamber.
This ratio will be used to solve for X, X being the volume of the new resonating chamber on the new intake. (I'll first need to find out what volume my 19-21inch intake will be)
