[Craggy]

was chucklin earlier about some of the names iv heard people or companies call air induction kits that glorify them

heres what sprung to mind, can anyone think of any others

ram-charger

forced air induction kit

ram-cooler

 

[spirez]

forced air!! how can air be forced in through induction kits?!?! Bet some people still think theyre getting a cheap turbo/supercharger! jokers

 

[Craggy]

lol, iv heard the latest offering from k&n runs 1.4 bar safely on a pre induction kit n/a engine with no internal mods and is cheap on insurance

 

[Tom]

Heres one:

Viper.

 

[spirez]

I still cant see how its forced with the viper? Not in the sense that a turbo is where air is compressed etc

 

[Tom]

what is the name of this thread?

is it "forced induction kit names" No.

 

[ebee]

forced air induction is different from iduction kits, they dont feed on ambient air being forced into the engine bay...

ram chargers etc have special designed mountings etc, that sit right behind the grille, and there is no escape for air getting in its path, they are usually carbon fibre, etc and there is no where for the air to go, except into the engine... hence forced induction

they protect from engine heat etc a lot better

do a search for ram-airs web site and youll see the difference between them and normal IKs

 

[Tom]

Ok this is off topic but im gonna do it.

"Ram air" effect dont work on cars unless your doing like 180mph or sommat silly like that.

it works on bikes because of the enclosure design.

Sealed induction kits maybe confused with "ram air"

how long til theres the "turbine" or "hurricaine", dare they make a green "ram compressor" i wonder???

K&N FilterCharger what the hell does that mean???

 

[spirez]

Is this the thing thats supposed to cool the oil or something stupid? My mate bought one for his saxo (1.1) and he was saying "woah J, cant you really tell the difference, its so loud now!"

errrr..... NO!!

 

[king.stromba]

Maybe its called viper because of the hissing noise of the IK? Think about it, quite clever.
