      This is a problem people come into.

      You need a variable mass air intake sensor that tells the engine one thing and whats actually happening is something else.

  • @addicted2tone349
    @addicted2tone349 6 лет назад +6704

    You can't just install the cold air intake and expect an increase. The performance gain is only achieved if you put the supplied sticker on your window. You'll gain 25-30 horsepower then.

    He's right an engineer always designs things to be absolutely perfect every time so it is always optimal. There is no possible way that changing something on your car will make it run better because it wasn't designed by those specific engineers. Engineers are perfect and never design things to be cost efficient and have never had to recall products ever. Every car has always been perfect so no need to change things on them guys don't worry the engineers got our back.

      @phillipgwynne6580 2 года назад +20

      I think the average car manufacturer also designs things to be as low cost as possible. Unless a car is designed to be high performance for a customer prepared to pay to get maximum performance and good quality, then the average mass produced car companies want products that are quick and easy to install, of reasonable quality and longevity for the money. I mean how many expensive cars do you know of that have Titanium screws or even exhausts. I’ve heard of a few high performance bikes having some Titanium exhausts but not many. Yet designers are always trying to find a metal that’s strong, light, doesn’t fatigue and doesn’t rust, Titanium is all of these. But it’s expensive!

      By federal law, they can't void the warranty even if you had the aftermarket part on it. The dealer or whoever is servicing the vehicle must prove, not just assume, but prove beyond any doubt that the aftermarket part you added caused the issue. However, they can refuse to work on some things. For example, if you added a cold air intake, they can refuse to work on that but if you had something wrong with your rear differential or transmission, then they have to work on that.

      Certain cars it will work on. But won't see any gains. Still would need a tune to match the intake. But in the end it's not worth buying one for no gains. Once you do the intake you'll want to do the exhaust, then the injectors and get a tune, you'll see gains in hp but yeah

    @CARLSFAB2016 4 года назад +709

    “You can’t just bolt this on and expect it to work”. Scotty, do you know what a MAF or MAP sensor is or does? Also think about you logic, the same stock car running in Kansas that is also sold in the mountains of Colorado still runs the same when the air density is much lower in the mountains than on the flat prairie of Kansas. That’s what airflow sensors do. They read air mass data, calculate, and ADJUST parameters, so they automatically adjust to the larger air density achieved through a cold air intake. It’s when you do so much to your engine that the airflow sensor whether it be MAF or MAP reads a value higher (or lower) than what it is programmed to calculate. In that respect a cold air intake will give you no problems, but if you decide to put CNC heads, a massive cam, and forced induction on an engine with a stock computer system, then it’s volumetric efficiency is allowing it to pull more air in than the computer can compensate for and more than the stock injectors can keep up with.

      @@josephblackmon6629 The thing is that the intake in the video is probably actually a cold air intake, but it's not for that car and it's not even installed. Scotty just has it resting on the engine to trick you into believing that it's sucking in hot air. That pipe is way too long for any short ram intake (SHORT ram intake). So it's likely a cold air intake for an entirely different car, but Scotty's just bullshitting around. That looks like the engine bay of a 2016 RAV-4, but Spectre doesn't make an intake system for a 2016 RAV-4.
      You can see that the way the intake sits on the engine, there's absolutely no way that hood will close without smashing it. You can also tell that the stock air box is still all there. Taking that out is the first step of installing an intake.

Made up a 3" pipe ,connected it to an adapter to the box and the other side to a scoop behind the air vents on the front bumper, tried to make it look oem. Did not expect much change to be honest but was much quicker and extremely responsive, even at low speed where the ram air effect would be less noticeable.

      No. The MAF sensor does not compute anything - it's just a sensor - it's job is to measure, not compute and adjust fuelling. You'd need a new (or reprogrammed ECU) to be properly set up to take more air, and thus supply more fuel.

    Look man, I've built many engines, most of them forced induction. My street car has about 640 wheel horsepower. Proper cold air intakes do actually increase power, however any modification that you put on a car needs to be calibrated or tuned. A full exhaust and headers will make more power than a muffler. A proper cold air intake (not a ram air intake, they are not the same things Scotty) will make more power when the engine is tuned for it.
    They also make vastly more power when the engine has other breathing modifications such as bigger camshafts, headwork, bigger turbos etc.
    Thing is that everything is designed to work as a system. Changing a single part will not give good results. Sure you can bolt a bigger turbo on, but without bigger fuel injectors, bigger fuel pump, proper intercooler etc you can destroy things.
    The point that I'm making is not to be afraid to modify your car if you want to, just realize that you can't be cheap about it and you need to tune your car for the modifications you make. These aftermarket/performance companies do not spend hundreds of thousands on R&D just to lie to you. If a person is ignorant and changes the part by itself, that is not the part manufacturer's fault. That is the customer's fault for being ignorant.

    • @manrightchea
      @manrightchea 6 лет назад +6

      Quady Mcflyface I know. However while he is right, most quality cold air intakes do have means to compensate for tuning meaning some of them have reflashes etc that can be used for tuning. You get what you pay for. It is also important to stress the difference between a ram air intake and a cold air intake. They are not the same. The intake on that Toyota is a ram air intake.
      Basically the only people that will benefit from this video are people that honestly are probably not ready to be modifying their cars yet, mostly young kids. The kind that think they can buy a part on eBay and make 50whp.

Your average good cold air intake might cost you three to four hundred dollars. Now you can go buy a cheap one on eBay, but then again like I said, you get what you pay for. Don't expect top quality without top price.

    1) A noisy car that looks cool is exactly what I'm after,

    3) In small scale adjustments like, 10cfm you won't see massive improvements, and the computer on any mainstream car should be able to adjust, because driving conditions change that much. Take for example driving in the mountains where the air is thinner than driving at lower elevations, it doesn't throw a check engine light because the MAS's job is to tell the computer exactly how much air it is getting, in some, even the temp of the air.

    • @HimmelWeint
      @HimmelWeint 2 года назад

      Pretty much in all cars it'll adjust automatically to the temperature and density of the air that's why basically every car comes with a IAT sensor and a MAP/MAF sensor and often times the MAF sensor also has the IAT sensor built in. Usually the intake tubing after the throttle plate won't make too much difference to power until you get higher in the rev range then the more restrictive stock airbox and all those loops and bends start to restrict the airflow. It'll increase power from stock by 2-5hp on average at the very top end and if installed correctly eg. no leaks or w/e and there is places to stick the sensors back into the intake system other than the increased intake noise nobody will be able to feel the difference and will not throw a CEL.

  • @fubar5884
    @fubar5884 6 лет назад +459

    Lemme get this straight...
    According to you, putting a less restrictive intake on any vehicle makes it run worse, function badly, reduces efficiency, and throws CELs... But your car's computer would adjust just *perfectly* if you took a trip down from the mountains and into Death Valley and have a denser charge coming in. But a cone/pod, a large unrestricted, non-baffled, non-resonated piece of pipe that isn't meant to just keep down NVH in the cabin is going to ruin everything.
    On top of that doozie, you are trying to tell me replacing cast iron exhaust manifolds, heavily restricted multiple catalytic converter *and* resonated 2 and a quarter/half inch exhaust systems with long tubes/mid-lengths, testpipe/high-flow cats, straight-shot mufflers (or no mufflers) and 3 or 4" pipe is only for the noise it makes, but will run and perform worse.

    Adding a cold air intake absolutely will not void a warranty, unless the modification causes a problem. I personally have never seen a good cold air intake cause issues, but some engines may be more temperamental, especially newer ones. Adding a CAI to a newer vehicle usually will not give you any noticeable gains, but some have a window in them so you can see the air filter, and a lot of them will allow you to hear the engine a little more. The best you can do is read up on other people's experiences with whatever CAI you're looking to use. Be warned that there is a lot of junk out there, too. A lot of cheap CAIs will be extremely hard to install, and some will even come apart, letting unfiltered air into the engine.
    As far as not modifying the stock intake, it really depends on the engine. I had a '97 Ranger with the 2.3L engine. The thing ran like a dog and would often stall, especially if it was pushed too hard in second or third gear. I took off the air snorkel, replaced the air muffle with a PVC pipe, and threw in a K&N air filter. After all of this, I could actually idle in second gear without the engine stalling, and I had a significant increase in low-end power, all without a tune. The truck ran for at least another 20 years with no engine issues. A lot of the engineering for intakes is to reduce noise, sometimes at a great expense to power.

    Seems to me after maniacly researching Tacoma mods, that some cars, like the Tacoma which is underpowered with awful fuel economy can benefit from the right cold air intake and performance exhaust which are paired well with the car. But that for most cars there's no meaningful reason to do it. Main benefit of those mods on the Tacoma is modestly improved efficiency and therefore MPG. Won't make the truck any faster though because of how the throttle is programmed. But definitely don't do it while your car is still under warranty. 🤣 I think it's just important to understand the known quirks of your specific model vehicle and if it's not meant to improve a specific shortcoming of the car, don't mess with it.

    I added a cold air intake from a reputable manufacturer on my 2008 Frontier 4.0 after the warranty expired. Part of that decision was based on the configuration using the same area of the engine compartment as the factory unit. Also, just like with several of my motorcycle mods, I purchased the correct computer re-programmer to handle the extra intake. The result? The truck woke up and how! Better gas mileage and strong acceleration. That and with a clean filter you can hear the intake down the road under hard acceleration which is kind of neat. I admit, the re-programmer removes some of the annoying factory controls such as the rev-limiter, which also affected the transmission in some odd way and that does help above and beyond just the intake. I agree however that for many this type of application is not only unnecessary but can negatively affect your automotive experience. In my case, it turned my truck into a snappy little machine that runs perfectly after 110K miles. I have replaced a u-joint or three over the years lol.

      They look so much like a backyard kluge and no way do the aftermarket companies have the time and money to actually engineer something that will work. The stock airbox which really IS a cold air intake, can flow more than the throttle body. If you go with a bigger throttle body and intake, you had better know what you are doing and a redesigned box like the stock one is the proper way to do it.
      There is also nothing wrong with a good paper filter, you don't see K&N making hospital grade filters for hospitals do you? Also the media is not paper necessarily as paper implies cellulose when in fact there could be lots of non wood based product in these media filters that people call paper. I prefer Wix. I used K&N in the past but they do not filter that well and often cause more problems than they fix.I would never go back to a K&N unless it was on controlled track conditions with a proper tune for those exact conditions on that day only. In the past I just ended up throwing K&N filters away and used them like disposables because once they are dirty they will never be right again and you'll probably mess up your MAF with gunk from the filter. I had a Lincoln Mark VIII that the K&N filter fouled the MAF and the check engine light came on.

    Ok yes cold intake air is denser and can get more air into the engine which makes more power . that is why your stock air box draws cold air from fender opening or grill.

    • @u-know-this

      That is the lie they told you to buy the device. The sensor will detect the additional air and reduce the fuel ratio as much as possible to stay within spec. If u put a hot air intake like he said you have to get your ECU TUNED to the new conditions. U burning more gas is not performance

    Air intakes really only cram air into the motor but that’s real it. You need the whole tune up line in order to see real results and it function properly.

    • @AlaVol66
      @AlaVol66 2 года назад +1

      The reason you didn't gain anymore hp is because you most likely left the Y pipe in the system. It does no good to put all the exhaust into one pipe and then split it into 2 pipes. It needs to be 2 pipes all the way from the engine exhaust manifold or headers to the tail pipe.

    I had a 2002 civic and the aftermarket air intake worked well no check engine. You just need to get the right intake that has a B.A.R. emissions number on it here in CA. The only improvement was in the acceleration when I entered a freeway entrance. I wouldn't replace it on newer cars though because the newer cars air intake set up is perfectly fine.
