I'm sure both of you have the idea. I am however, sick of SRI ricers telling me their intake is better. What you guys have explained makes their argument null and void.

SRI in an airbox will dominate CAI.

and Air is its most dense at 4 degrees, so if you can somehow get the temperature feed to 4 degrees, laffing.

so..... what is the main issue with sri soaking in hot air?
i know its not good for ur engine, i think... but what exactly is it doing?

**TheSaint** · 14-03-2010 12:47 PM

i have a SRI but i will admit that a CAI will beat it hands down

If you have an SRI setup, it requires a proper heatshield and/or enclosed airbox, otherwise u r just sucking in hot air.

Hot air takes up more volume, so when your car is breathing air to use as fuel combined with the petrol to cause combustion it doesn't get as high a concentration of oxygen molecules as you would if it was breathing cold air.

Yeah I just came back from Europe where it was super cold as balls and all I could think is 'there are no CRXs here' and 'CAI would rock in Europe' LOL

I reckon just house your pod in stock box, that's what I'm going to do soon when I get on top of work etc

**TheSaint** · 15-03-2010 03:05 PM

i tried that ... its too phat lol

**dougie_504** · 15-03-2010 08:50 PM

That's coz you went with the whale pod. Unnecessarily big, but if that's the look you like then you'll have to just custom make a box that can bolt onto the standard box holes with a bottom-end air feed. Shouldn't be too hard
