experimental setup Mk. II
experimental setup Mk. II As some of you do or don't know, I'm half obsessed with induction on our cars...since that's the easiest way to add HP to any car. Well, I found something of interest while wandering around the back of an Autozone
Gonna set them up like this
And gonna put it in place of my PVC pipe that replaced my air-silencer. Any suggestions/predictions? Here's what I got so far
Pros
1. It'll produce nearly the advantages of an open throttle-body but without the dangers of having an unprotected throttle-body
2. cool air brought in from the airdam would still be accessible
3. Won't hold as much heat as PVC pipe tends to
Cons
1. Engine heat may contaminate the cool air from the airdam

Noted...if it doesn't work, just another $12 down the drain...
ok, took it out for a modest run in heavy Newport news traffic and after about 5 minutes, the oil gauge drops to zero, engine shuts off too (bye-bye power steering )....so I limp over to a local gearhead's house, interrupt his dinner so that he can take a look at it. I put the tried-and-true PVC pipe back in and he added 2.5 quarts of oil. Didn't have any problems on the way home, but I babied it the rest of the ride there.
Bad sender or oil pump?
For now, all experiments are on hold
