Poor Mans 8$ CAI... Another Crappy How To
#21
Just for the record I am all for new ways of doing things. Every time I look at that scrawny necked air intake on my 96 I just wonder how I am getting much airflow in there. Kudos to you for experimenting with it and getting something to work. I hope to put a snorkel on mine sometime in the future but 500 bucks? ouch. Way to go spence! enjoy it.

LOL!!! No actually I dont, can you imagine all the water I would suck in?
And snow?
That thing would be clogged with snow and ice so thick that the engine would stall.
Did I mention it being a water scoop?

Cold air is denser, so it contains more oxygen per cubic foot. The MAF senses temperature and air speed, so it adjusts the fuel injection accordingly. As a result, you have more potential horse power and better gas mileage. It would be fun to fit it with a barometer, then move it around to see where the highest pressure is under the truck. That would be an additional boost at highway speeds which in turn would enhance the power/gas mileage. Neat idea. You should refine it with PVC and market it.

Interesting MOD, sounds like you're seeing some positive results. is there anything to keep stuff from flying into it?
Correction, land rover owners on Dweb...
Dweb is the trailer park of Disco owners. I've been a member there since 2008, and I have 0 posts. There is a reason I have over 1,000 here. Totally different group of people.
I know a few guys on Dweb that are awesome people, unfortunately they are overshadowed by a bunch of losers.

Well it really was just going to be temporary, at least the ram air part. Ill probably cut it back some so airs not forced in it.
As for debri, I will probably use some screen I have left over from when I did my deckplate mod on my 4runner.
And today I noticed a 35* difference in the heat, at idle

So spence I took a look at Dweb (as I have never been on there, nor would I in the future due to the response you got) and I have to say that I was LMAO. Sorry. That was way wrong the way they attacked you but I couldn't help laughing. Those guys seem like a special bunch of folks. I love LR Forums and I sometimes have to ask stupid questions. Seems like you would be raked over the coals for just about any question over there. Jeez you don't have to slam someone when you don't agree. Sorry you had to endure that. Just stay over here where the folks are nice.
