Civic Air intake question
Hey i have 2 related questions about Air intake systems/high flow filter.
Is a high flow air intake system good or bad for your car in Cold weather? or neither? and from anyone who has one installed, does an intake kit give you better or worse gas millage?.. considering you have more torque and a little more HP. - - - - - - dave (2000 Civic SiR Coupe) |
Re: Civic Air intake question
cold weather is good either way, cold air is denser thus giving more oxygen
for your engine to combust. As for the intake, you'll notice very slight difference in power, nothing to write home about. And it will give you a slightly better gas mileage if you drive in the same manner, but it seems when people add intakes they just love to mash the gas for the sound it makes, thus killing your gas mileage "Jehu" <dcoxREMOVETHIS@hfx.eastlink.ca> wrote in message news:pteUb.15021$Ja2.96890@nnrp1.uunet.ca... > Hey i have 2 related questions about Air intake systems/high flow filter. > > Is a high flow air intake system good or bad for your car in Cold weather? > or neither? > and from anyone who has one installed, does an intake kit give you better or > worse gas millage?.. considering you have more torque and a little more HP. > > - - - - - - > dave (2000 Civic SiR Coupe) > > > |

B-) Well, since you ask: Here in Lincoln, Nebraska, we're having our third major snowfall in under two weeks (major snow here is over 6"). The thing is that they really don't know how to deal with snow or don't have enough plows or something. So it's just building up, developing ruts, etc., especially here on the poor side of town, which for some reason makes the streets around here less of a priority. And even downtown, they have the brilliant technique of plowing the snow into the middle of one-way streets, which is fine as long as you don't want to turn the other direction. How I miss Minneapolis, where even the out-of-the-way streets get cleared in reasonable time. I wish my Civic had a little better clearance. I love how it drives on snow and ice, but with a foot of snow in the alley we've had a little trouble getting out, but I'm not going to put it in the street and wait for someone to run into it. In short, the winter wonderland is great as long as you don't have to go anywhere... Jason |
