Stock Air Box Mod

I would assume being “common” would involve main stream media to help out or massive advertising campaigns put on by the creators. They did have one local media source cover what they invented, and even had it installed on the camera man’s vehicle and documented what the unit did for that car.

I’d say for the most part, their success is mainly word of mouth and they have a website and email contact you can reach the company to discuss your questions. They have certified installers all over the US and Canada.

I obviously can’t speak for the product because I haven’t pulled the trigger to have it installed but after reading through the website and testimonials and viewing their videos and being a victim of high gas prices and mediocre gas mileage and wanting better, faster, cleaner and cooler engines, the wife and I are talking about this. I have 4 more months of warranty on this second engine and once it’s over, I’m installing this thing.

Forget about the minimum 25%+ increase in fuel economy but they claim “lowers oil temps by an average of 25 degrees” ?! Anyone with a diesel that has derating issues and can’t figure out how to run cooler?

The area code on their phone number shows OHIO. If I lived near them, I’d be paying them a visit.

Ohio is just a hop and skip for me. To me if it actually works reliably, It would pay for itself in gas savings alone quite quickly.

I’ve got two changes coming for my truck-
1. I’m moving up in tire size to 35’s. There’s going to be decrease or drag on the engine, some say slight but still, a decrease.
2. Wife and I and now thinking it’s time to pull a trailer, nothing crazy but around 4000 lbs.

There has to be a better way to gain back HP and torque and run cooler and cleaner and increase MPG.

I'm not sure if i would want it to run cooler. These motors are designed to run hot and it healthy for them. too cool and it might actually cause issues long term. unless your overheating than absolutely you want the improved cooling benefits.

I get the OP’s thread and his reasoning to bring in more air or cool things down or increase MPG and power by cutting a hole in the air box etc…great idea and “A” for effort ….and then there’s all these diesel owners having derating issues and trying to come up with some way to run cooler …all great attempts but for the most part finding disappointment or nothing substantial.

A big ass hole (I tried not to swear here) or many holes drilled in an air box will only bring out induction noise which is super cool. I did this and love the induction growl when the throttle is stomped on. It scared the wife the first time I showed her.

Take off the engine cover might be a great idea to dissipate the heat.

Explain how added weight and increase in tire size/diameter, degreases drag on an engine.
Isn't there a reason that max tow goes down to 4.10 ratio from 3.73 and uses small tires compared to others?

I know about that but that's for racecars. other than the occasional Corvette or AMG I don't see meth injection on street cars. This aqua stuff sounds to good to be true. How does the ecu not freak out for one.

I know of a few who are using meth on their street builds.

Maybe not drag but works harder than with stock 33’s.

I guess I will be a skeptic and say water vapor injection for a daily driver seems a little pseudoscience. Finding studies and white papers on it that are not from third world universities is a little short coming.

I would think if it was a mature technology, ICE vehicle makers would have adopted it years ago to get that much more towards meeting their ever increasing CAFE standards.

Sort of reminds of the 1990's and early 2000's craze of people swearing a cup of acetone in their fuel tank would increase their MPG's 20%-30% and that really never panned out.

I would think by now you should know to leave well enough alone.

It makes me feel alive!
