I can't say that I have. The lady probably wouldn't be happy if I went looking up other women's a**es, but I'm sure you can enjoy it enough for the both of us.

That sounds very interesting, but why after the MAF instead of before? I'd be worried about that causing me to run slightly lean from the extra unmetered air. Very interesting idea though, can't wait to see what you make of it.

 

Hi Alex, just an experimental idea to date. Putting the air in after the MAF in my theory will inject more air rather than have the MAF reduce the airflow (bearing in mind mine is a diesel and the ECU injects fuel proportionally to the air intake measured) so denser cooler air will comprise the air charge although the fuelling remains the same and the turbo will invariably cause it to reheat to some extent (admittedly it will be a leaner mix). I may latterly introduce the cooling charge into the intake after the turbo and before the intercooler to measure what effect that has also. In the full analysis I may also try introducing the cooling air charge before the MAF as well. At present this is all very 'hands on' experimental stuff to see whether it has any effect and what the effects are. I'm sure LR have played around similarly but not using the same air source. I have never been a great one for diesel engine tuning or re-mapping as a diesel is just a 'sledge hammer to crack a nut'. From my days of tuning petrol engines for race cars I learned that performance shortens engine life and reduces reliability and a 12 year old TD5 engine isn't a particularly an ideal subject for performance although many have tuned them to extract performance. I'll let you know how things go over the next few months.

 

I would be in serious trouble myself! She was watching her TV shows when the images came up and she glanced over to see if I was paying attention!


Did anyone see the video of the Jeep Cherokee or whatever it was with the intake to the engine going in from the cabin of the vehicle? he had a bunch of PVC sewer-size pipe running from the intake, then down the inside, back corner of the wheel wells, all the way down underneath beside the rocker guards and then up the back floor boards into the corners of the back seats with some big K&Ns larger than life hanging out in the cargo area. It was ridiculous-looking to me but he said he likes to float it and cross rivers a lot, so I guess that's what you gotta have. Pretty serious modification....

 

Anyone get cel from this?

 

Looks like somebody copied my thread and tried to make it their own. Only thing I can say about Alex's design is running the MAF that close to the filter won't allow you to get actually air temps going into the throttle body. Once air gets to the throttle body it is much hotter then at the source of the filter. If temps are too far off you can cause the engine to run lean. Anyways here is the link for my build if anyone cares to fact check.

I didn't see that jeep, but I've seen that on a few old V8 pickups that do a lot of stuff in deep mud. I'm talking big trucks, 40"+ tires.

Nope, no CEL.

Holy crap, I completely forgot you posted! I'm going to link you yours in my original post also.

I am curious, how will the air getting hotter cause it to run lean? When the air gets hotter it expands, meaning less of it will enter the combustion chamber. I haven't had any problems with running lean. If anything it still runs a little rich.

 

Alex, How does your post explaining how you made an intake, in any way copying anybody else's post. You even posted on his post and showed yours. There have been posts on cold air intakes on this forum since 2006.
I think it was in bad taste, the way, the member said you copied his post to make it yours.
Also the stock filter is right at the maf, so I don't get it.
Maybe it is just me

 

i havent had check engine lights on mine either, I did what alex had done, except I boxed my maf and k@n filter in with aluminum, then wrapped thew aluminum with a heat shield, I also added an outterwears cover around the k&n filter, I have been thinking of exhaust wrap around the aluminum pipe tho just to help with the heat since it does get very warm. I can get pics if anyone wants.

 

Eh, I'm not worried about it. He did post first (though I made my intake first) and I had just forgotten.

That's my thinking on the MAF too, not sure how that makes a difference. It's not like the air in the intake heats up any less post-MAF if the filter is farther from the MAF anyway.

Thats awesome, Jesse. Did you notice a temp change with the aluminum shield? I'd love some pics of that also, if you don't mind. Sounds like a neat improvement on my design!
