Does modifying the intake system improve power?
1 Answers
Yes, there are many methods to modify the intake system, including turbocharging and supercharging, which are considered intake modifications. Simple changes like replacing the air filter with a cone filter, using a high-flow air filter, or enlarging the throttle body all count as intake modifications. If the intake has increased pressure, it can improve the torque output efficiency to some extent, making acceleration more powerful. If the intake only increases speed but not pressure significantly, it can also enhance the top speed, commonly referred to as horsepower. Here are some additional details: Increasing air flow and reducing intake resistance: Installing a high-flow air filter can reduce the intake resistance of the engine while increasing the air intake volume and volumetric efficiency per unit time during operation. For even better results, the entire air filter can be replaced with an exposed filter, commonly known as a "mushroom head," to further reduce intake resistance and increase the engine's air intake.
