But the temp at the intake manifold won't be any cooler than ambient. It can't be, no work has been done so you would be getting something for nothing! As a said in my previous post the cooling effect of the air expanding after the restriction only offsets the heating effect as the air is compressed prior to the restriction! Good point though, any gain recieved from a very slight drop in temp (even through the use of CAI) would be lost through the massive reduction in flow! (unless underbonnet temps were extraodinarily high!) But don't forget cold air is more dense than warm air too... And in the case of a turbo car... how does anyone expect to easily reduce temps by that much! Mmmm, makes me wonder now. Would a turbo be better off without an intercooler? If the air coming out is less compressed/dense, then what's the point of a turbo with an intercooler? Let me know if I'm way off. Yes I know that hot engine bay requires an intercooler in circumstances, but put that aside for a second. (Who would have thought my crazy Idea that I scrapped near the start would end up with a dicussion on thermodynamics? ). [Report message to a moderator]
