TomoHawk Posted April 29, 2004 Share #13 Posted April 29, 2004 the CAI works with the intake, etc. so the air flows more freely- hence the deeper dound. It also depends on a free-flowing take and the rest. the sharp bends in the intake and etc. slow the flow and increase the pitch.:disappoin Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11484-homemade-cold-air-induction-dimensions-options-how-much/?page=2#findComment-78988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
panchovisa Posted April 29, 2004 Share #14 Posted April 29, 2004 proxlamus(I'm not going to cap the letters),Anything you do now with CAI will not work with turbo. The turbo will not respond to CAI because the compression of intake charge heats the charge. Thats why turbos use an intercooler after the turbo, to cool the compressed charge.Any change in sound from your friends cars (with no exhaust changes) is from additional engine noise escaping thru INTAKE. Ask any Z owner that has put on tripple Mikunis!

PrOxLaMuS© Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share #17 Posted April 29, 2004 .. i'm in physics!

ecp48 Posted April 30, 2004 Share #18 Posted April 30, 2004 PrOxLaMuS©I noticed a difference in sound, but I think it was just the induction sound, ie: no or little restriction. It reminded me of the difference btween a 350 Chevy 4 Barrel with a stock Air Cleaner, versus the free flow Moroso Air cleaner.If that helps. If you are like most students, it will be a while before you get the turbo, so make the most of it. Install the clean air intake and header. You can always change the exhaust when you get around to the Turbo or the $$$ strike you. Look carefully at the reducer section that joins your manifold to the exhaust system. It is much shorter and tighter than an earlier 280. Very restrictive. You will be pleased with the difference the header and intake will make.ecp48 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11484-homemade-cold-air-induction-dimensions-options-how-much/?page=2#findComment-79060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZmeFly Posted April 30, 2004 Share #19 Posted April 30, 2004 With a turbo, dont know where you got that it wouldnt as I have one on mine. The air enters the filter goes threw the AFM to the turbo. This has nothing to do with cooling the intake charge temps. That is the purpose of the intercooler.But if you actually look at your car it alread has cold air intake as the filter sits at the front of the car.If you plan on going turbo I wouldnt be spending money now on headers and such. I would be saving up for a GOOD intercooler, piping for the intercooler and 3 inch mandrel bent piping from the turbo back.

sblake01 Posted April 30, 2004 Share #20 Posted April 30, 2004 Originally posted by panchovisa 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws of thermodynamics??????? Anybody???? I remember the first that energy can be changed from one form to another but can't be created or destroyed. And I remember the second that in all energy exchanges if no energy enters or leaves the system the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state. But what is the third? Is it the object in motion thing? Or for every action, etc.? Or is that physics? It's been years!

But what is the third? Is it the object in motion thing? Or for every action, etc.? Or is that physics? It's been years! Newton's third law: An object in motion will stay in motion unless/untill acted upon by an outside force. Now if you try and say that when you roll a ball on a level surface it will eventually stop without being touched or hitting the wall...the outside force acting upon it which causes it to stop is called gravity. :classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11484-homemade-cold-air-induction-dimensions-options-how-much/?page=2#findComment-79150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
v12horse Posted April 30, 2004 Share #22 Posted April 30, 2004 Oh no guys, stop with the physics. I have a physics final next week and I come here to talk Z's and now it is physics. Ahhhhhh!!!! You guys take care. You know you are all a bunch of nerds. And I am not going to get out my physics and chem books to varify this stuff and jump in on the nerd bandwagon. It's okay, nerds are cool. I am leaving now.

TomoHawk Posted April 30, 2004 Share #24 Posted April 30, 2004 Hey guys....Can we get this discussion back on topic? You can talk physics, but keep it related to the CAI stuff.thx.....(same to you...) :classic: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11484-homemade-cold-air-induction-dimensions-options-how-much/?page=2#findComment-79166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
