How Much Power Can Be Increased by Improving Air Intake?
1 Answers
Improving air intake can increase power by approximately 30%. Here are the relevant details about air intake: 1. Modification Methods: There are many ways to modify air intake, including turbocharging and supercharging, both of which are considered air intake modifications. If the intake has pressure, it can improve torque output efficiency to a certain extent, making acceleration more powerful. If the intake speed increases but the pressure is not significant, it can also enhance the top speed, commonly referred to as horsepower. Increasing air flow and reducing intake resistance can be achieved by installing a high-flow air filter, which reduces engine intake resistance while increasing the air intake volume and volumetric efficiency per unit time during engine operation. For even better results, the entire air filter can be replaced with an exposed-element filter, commonly known as a "mushroom head," to further reduce intake resistance and increase the engine's air intake volume. 2. Secondary Air Intake: Using secondary air intake technology can improve volumetric efficiency. Secondary air intake involves drawing additional fresh air from the engine PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) line, utilizing the vacuum pressure difference in the intake manifold, in addition to the air drawn from the air filter. This increases the volumetric efficiency by introducing an appropriate amount of fresh air.
