Intakes For 2.4l

Well on this topci but not what you guys are tlaking about but here a question.

Has anyone who has the Induction Dynamics intake replaced that black elbow that connects the intake to the Throttle Body? Seems like that elbow is restricting air like a female dog? anyone?

Quoted post

actually no it does it. the volume of the area is the same as a 3" 90 deg elbow. and the inside is very smooth and not restrictive. it just gives more clearance for the j-body.

Induction dynamics does a lot R&D and flow tests. no worries, mate.

Robot arms are not good for intakes. And you paid $20 for it? for $5 more, you could have had a much nicer looking and more efficient intake (I only paid $25 for mine!)

Think about it dude. if you're gonna do something, do it right...and try to do it the first time.

Yeah after all these put downs on my ghetto-take, I've singled out a few good air intakes, and do plan on replacing that one in the near future after I get done with the exhaust system.

That flexi-tube is also designed to fit at the end of that cone air filter (has an openning at the top). If I replaced the intake, with a nice Z24 one, and remove the air chamber that's below the battery by removing the bumper. Then lead the tubing down there to maybe an openning in the front or below the bumper so that the car could also get some RAM/colder air and just run the flexi tubing into the top of the filter? I'm sorry if this seems vague but it's wherethe Induction Dynamics cold air intake's filter is placed, if that clears things. I just don't want that $20 tubing to go waste pretty much.

But also if I managed to all of that, it'd probably just be easier to get one the intakes so that the filter designed to fit inside that part?

for turbulance to really work good on our cars it is in the head not going into the intake. turbulance in the air before the injector like intake will slow down the air speed.

one way that old time drag racers and nascar engine builders use to do is on rectangle ports they would leave the corner ruff and polish the flats that way it creates enough turbulance to create an inner flow and you get good air and fuel mix. but things have change the old way still works. i used some of that on my head. velocity is important but so is volume. with injectors the amount of turbulance that was required on the old v-8s is not needed. some is good.

but like eddie said with cam overlap, which is normally 100-112 deg, air would escape out the exhaust side and you would not have as much air in the clyinder as you think being no benefit.

And there ain't nothing wrong with ghetto as long as it workd

this is a very true statement. may not be the best.
