this is good for your engine yes?(sounds a daft question but i'll say more dafter questions after you reply!)

i think so yes, which always makes me wonder about aftermarket filters because surely the air going in them is warmer than that of a standard airbox. But what do i know i'm no mechanic.

ready to piss yaself!

why dont ya run ya air conditioner pipes into the air flow?????LMFAO

No point really answering this cos you know what the answer will be anyway.... You don't get energy for nothing - the loss of power due to the air con load will be far greater than any increase due to cooler charge. Also, no way in the world could it supply enough air to meet the engines demands... You'd be better of leaving the ICs in the freezer overnight

 

Actually that does give me an idea... Blow freezer spray onto the ICs.... Bwahaahahahahahahaha

 

Aftermarket filters - why would they increase intake temp??? They take the air from the front of the car, the stock airbox actually takes its feeds from the back of the front bumper, just above it... I'm sure the cooler air is at the front of the car

Does anyone know the First Law of thermal dynamics ????

You mean "The total energy of the system plus the surroundings is constant" also stated as "Energy is conserved"

Are you sure thats not the first law of Homer Dynamics?

Basically yes !

 

But what it means is that you can't simply Create energy from nowhere ! which also emplies that you can't destroy it either.

 

A more remedial way for of stating this law for all you bone heads out there LOL is that :

 

Energy can neither be create nor destroyed - it can only change form.

 

In a Engine we are dealing with Potential energy in the inputs to the system , such things as Noise and Heat energy in unwanted byproducts and Kinetic energy as our desired Output. If you apply this knowledge to your question you will see why the theory is flawed without having to explain the in's and out's of the Properties of Freon, Compression, expansion, Drag, Heat soak Etc etc.

You bake me noodle! LOL

 

Cooler intake charge? Bigger IC's, water injection but not sure if that really cools the charge just makes it denser so it burns quicker! Oh and rig up yer headlamp washer jets to spray onto the IC's as they are fucking useless with the already shite headlights so no loss there then?

Its the first thing you are taught in Physics at school.

A quote

Yes, I too have wondered about the pissabolities of cooling intake using AC and then I found this article at www.autospeed.com http://www.autospeed.com/A_0436/page1.html

why not pack dry ice around the IC's? they do it in F1 so it has to have some positive effect.

Indeed it is simple GCSE physics !

 

So someone remind me again why i have a BEng, BSc(hons), MSc and Phd again then LOL !

this is a short term thing, and it works, alot of drag cars actually have a holding tank for dry ice in front of the cooler in JHB (fast street cars)

seems to do the trick, btu with the temperature in this country anywas , its a waste of time, this is looking for 2bhp at a time, when you can gain 200 form changing blowers ect.

 

Dry ICE is often used on Drag and Race cars to stop heat soaking IC's and Rads while the car is idleing - generating heat with no cooling.

 

As warren said tho not so important in this country with our pants wheather !
