colder air is more dense(more air per square inch than warmer air) therefore the ecu needs to add more fuel to keep up with the "perfect a/f ratio"

 

i may have read wrong but i thought they said this piece was tricking the ecu into thinking it was getting more condense cold air. well if it has to trick it into thinking that, its not actually getting it (or this piece wouldnt be needed). so how is that not causing a rich mixture. yah if it was actually getting the colder denser air it would need the extra fuel for the right mixture....but its tricking it into thinking that colder denser air is there....so its really not there, but yet getting more fuel.....did i read wrong here?

 

:werd: It's getting more fuel but still the same amount of air. The oxygen is still the limiting reactant. All I can see is what CivicSiRacer said, an overheating cat and a black bumper.

 

:werd: I see no real benefit from such modification. overheating cat = faster death to the cat = $$$$

$5 mod that will end up costing $300

 

i agree fully..

 

But hey it's not my money so what do I care When I get my car dyno tuned I want my car to be leaned out some more.

 

my car needs some power

 

oh

 

curiousity killed the cat...

 

ya even though it advances your timing cause its "tricking" the IAT to think its cooler air coming in, you have to run 92 octane minimum like they said. but what if the rolling intake air temp is way higher than normal? like during the summer? basically you will jack your engine.

not everything that adds power is beneficial.
