Cold Air Intake
Cold Air IntakesIf you haven’t yet heard about the advantages of installing a cold air intake on your car, truck, or SUV, we’d like to know what cave you live in. But just in case, let us elaborate: A cold air intake replaces the factory plumbing between your airbox and the intake plenum on your vehicle, oftentimes replacing the airbox itself. One portion of the cold air intake consists of a high-flow air filter, usually located outside the engine bay or in a cool spot—that’s how the cold air intake draws in cooler air. The rest of the cold air intake equipment is dedicated to delivering that cool air to the plenum and keeping it as cold as possible in the process. Those are the basics of a cold air intake system, and there are a hundred different ways of doing it, as evidenced by the number of different cold air intake products on the market. Some cold air intake systems tout the benefits of mandrel bent aluminum ducts, while other cold air intake systems claim their plastic ductwork keeps the air cooler.
But the bottom line is that a cold air intake does improve your engine’s power and torque thanks to the density of the intake air. And in some cases, a cold air intake system can also improve fuel economy. So do your research and find out what cold air intake system makes the most sense to you. With the number of cold air intake products that are out there, it pays to find the right cold air intake for the kind of driving you intend to do.
Electric Supercharger
GAINS UP TO 25 HORSEPOWER
If you need a boost and can't afford a real turbo or supercharger conversion, this product is for you. The Electric Supercharger is an adapter to either your short ram or cold air intake. It will work on absolutely any air intake brand including AEM, Injen, MimoUSA, Weapon R, Fujita etc. Simply remove your current air filter and put the Supercharger as a replacement, it's that simple.
The supercharger is operated on a 12-volt source. This means you can connect it to your battery to get the power. It uses 2.2 amps from your alternator when turned on and doesn't affect your car performance or battery drain. The Supercharger is connected to a switch inside the car. Whenever you need more power you simply flip the switch and fly away. It produces 250CFM of forced air into your manifold and it very quiet under the hood when turned on. In fact it has a nice aggressive sound, making it seem like you got something bigger then what you actually have under the hood.
A stock turbo from an Audi 1.8T produces 400CFM. Adding the electric supercharger will produce more then half of the power than a stock Audi 1.8T turbo would. There is need to do any modifications to your engine at all. 250CFM of forced air can also be compared to a 15-25 shot of Nitrous.
The supercharger is made out of the finest parts and a certified K&N Filter with Lifetime warranty. Installation is very simple, it should not take more then 15 minutes to install.
Produces 15 - 25 horsepower increase.
Generates 250CFM of forced air.
Universal Bolt-on, installs on any short ram or cold air intake.
K&N Filter included.
Installation instructions and all necessary installation hardware included.
Pipes are not included, the car must be equipped either a short ram or cold air intake. (If you do not have an intake we would recommend the Weapon R Secret Weapon)
Universal application. (Unit will replace your aftermarket air intake filter, please check to see if there is enough room by your air intake filter to install this unit.)
Technical Data - How it works: All stock air intakes are designed to intake a certain amount of air. The intake ratio is usually set at only 10% of its full capacity. In other words your stock air intake is designed to only intake 10% of the air that it could intake. This leaves 90% of the air suspended from entering your engine. The reason you get horsepower increase when you get a short ram or cold air intake is because you are no longer restricting the air to come in. The air is being free flowed by your engine itself. If you measure how much capacity is left over after installing a short ram or cold air intake, you will realize that you have about 60%-70% capacity left of potential air to enter your engine. This is where the Air Intake Blower comes to place. It will be help your engine intake more air resulting in making less pressure on the engine itself, horsepower increase and improving gas mileage.
ECU Air Intake Ratio: Each car has an ECU installed to measure how much air ratio is entered into the engine. To get the best results we recommend purchasing a performance chip for your car before installing the Air Intake Blower. The performance chip will tell the ECU to intake more air then usual, which will result in even greater horsepower increase. When the Air Intake Blower will be working, the amount of air that it will force-in will get the ECU confused as to why so much air is being entered. You don't have to worry about ruining your engine or having the ECU malfunction. The ECU will simply adapt to the effect that there is more air being entered and it will let it through, it will not reject it. It will continue to operate as usual. The factory ECU is designed to work at 10% of its capacity. When the Air Intake Blower will be on, the ECU will consider it to be above normal, as it will be working at 70% of its capacity. This is the reason why you can install the Air Intake Blower without modifying any engine parts in your car. Your car was capable of producing this power from the start. It was just never unleashed.
