Topic: ADJUSTABLE MODIFIED STOCK AIR BOX

[chardrc]

don't downsize the picture.. downsizing is usually for thumbnail pics... just upload them to photobucket, not directly to this site.

I will try that later. Thanks

[quicksand]

Just tried again, I got as far as getting a few pics on photo bucket, I then sent them to my pics on my computer, and tried to send. It told me again file is full. I am going to take a break. I will learn this one day.

you don't send them anywhere once they're on photobucket.  go to your photobucket account, click on a picture you want to share.  Once that pic is larger and the only one on the pb page, look to the right for the url address contained within image tags (img).  Copy that url with the img tags and paste it into your message on here.  That's it.

OK I will try that later, Thanks bounty hunter, Hope you are doing well.

I might just be being silly, but are you running the stock tubing?

[quicksand]

No stock tubing, its a 3in after market put together from a old neon in two pcs. Also wrapped in reflective insulated wrap, to keep air temps down.

Here is another try, remember in raw form proto type, works great.

[quicksand]

Well I got that far, Remember that is a proto type in raw form, needs cleaning up, I do run a bigger air tube with insulation, bored 4.0L TB, custom TB spacer, accel coil and wires, NGK plugs gapped at .037, catback, magnaflow muffler and of course it does have a K&N filter. Like I said before I am able to adjust my incoming air to adjust for fuel changes. I can get my lil rig real torquey or smooth response with top speeds of 80 to 85mph. I am still tweeking to find sweet spot between power and MPG. Any do not laugh its working nice, I know it does not look impressive.

what is the "adjustable" part of the setup?

doesn't look bad at all, not sure why you're all concerned about that.

[FourbangerYJ]

Not to knock you for trying but I think your medicine is more of a sugar pill than anything.
After a round of mods many people thing they unleashed XX amount of HP and TQ, but in reality little if any gains are actual.

[quicksand]

I understand what you are saying, but I just adjusted my air box again and gained upper RPM torque and using less pedal. Anyway works for me. Happy 4 Wheeling.

what are you adjusting

[chrisfranklin]

That's an interesting setup.  

I guess maybe the front right tire spins and generates some minor air pressure in to the airbox via the hole above the shock.   "Tire turbo" -- just coined that term.    

Would be interesting to see test results on that -- see what air pressure, if any, is measured through the intake hole you cut in the wheel well connecting to the air-box.  The other holes in the box would probably sabotage any kind of accurate readings.

Dirt, road debris, water are probably a strong disincentive to cut in to a wheel well for better air flow -- why maybe risk an engine just for a few horsepower?  
Then there's:  If you want a little external air pressure in to the intake, get yourself some kind of ram air hood setup; it'll be cleaner.    

Still an interesting concept, though

I still don't see what's adjustable though
