More HP!!!!!

yes------- they sure do though not as much as a supercharger or nitrous---------- you know why?------- cause they don't add as much power. To make HP you need to get as much air and fuel into the cylinders to make the highest average pressure on top of the piston-------the combustion engine has been around for some time now-------- it's known how HP is made

They are lowering the restrictions of the air flow,

yes------ they lower the pumping losses. This by opening the restrictions you can get more air in an out of the motor. once you get more air in you have to add MORE fuel and more air and fuel = more average cylinder pressure and that = more HP

they are going to lower the engine temperature because the engine does not have to work as hard to make as much horse power

I don't know were you get the idea that the motor's heat comes from pumping losses and the INCREASING air flow DECREASES motor temp:crazy: If you think that then you also saying supercharging a motor -------------cools it! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
like you said "the motor isn't working as hard to make HP"------------- sure

every car that I have worked on the engine tempature has dropped once the air restriction was lowered and yes they did not have to rev (aka work as hard) to produce as much power in turn produceing less heat and less friction inside the engine, they obviously dont add as much horse power as forced induction but they still add horsepower and every little bit counts, but raising air intake does not mean raised temperature or raised spark or fuel in take in every case, there is many vehicles that dont have a CPU advanced enough to automatically adjust, which still produces more horsepower, and it is not orking as hard to make that power because the horse power is being produced at much lower RPM rates in turn not working as hard to make the same power

Originally posted by denim I am not afraid of Nitrous, I am worried about the excess heat that is produced inside the cyclinders, many engines are not all that well made to take the excess heat

Actually nitrous lowers combustion temp , It is cold , It produces higher compression because it ignites easier . not heat !

the combustable tempature of nitorous is much higher than that of gasoline hence the melting of pistons and heads and rings than is very often caused be adding nitrous to and engine

Caused by nitrous installed incorrectly , Making a engine too lean causes melted piston rings ect ., Not caused by the nitrous , Making the cylinder lean causes heat

thats why I will never install nitrous on a mass production motor

Any idea why my buddy's intake manifold blew apart...?

what mods did he do to the car?

It's an IROC...same year as mine, 89...with the 350 tpi. Headers/exhaust, racing chip, and a bunch of other upgrades on the engine...new cylinder heads etc. Flipped the switch one night and his manifold blew up...literally, everything was installed properly. Gotta head out, give more information later...

Probaby due to pre-ignition basically the cylinder fires before the intake valve closes completely and all the fuel mix ignities in the manifold and bye bye manifold !

how Nitrous was he using?

look if you don't understand the way HP is made go the book store and get some books on it-------- changing the air intake ----------------
it you add air the computer will add more fuel------- it sees the extra air by----- mass air meter/ air temp/air pressure/ o2 sensor

adding to much air will cause the computer to be limited by the fuel injection rates

they are rated in Ibs/hr

as for carbs increasing air flow increases fuel pick up------- after so much extra air a bigger carb in needed

there isn't one motor I know of that can't correct for more air -----with in it's limits
