how does cold air induction help get better horsepower?

the colder the air the more dense it is and therefore the more oxygen it contains, but you will need to increase the amount of fuel otherwise the mixture will be lean and the engine will overheat.

A cold air intake will likely make it more difficult to dynotune the car after installing the turbo since the air flow measurement will be inaccurate. \n\nAn intercooler will be required if you plan to run more than 8 psi of boost pressure.

a turbo will blow ur motor, get a cold air intake its pretty cheap and it will give u about 10-20 more horse

Not a good question. Power is related to the volume of fuel/air mixture.

Yes a motor becomes less efficient as heat increases the resistance in the coil to an appreciable level hence the current decreases \nresulting in less magnetic field and less effeciency\nSo a heat sink can help in increasing effficiency

ok remember that freon or r134 are used in AC but is not like it is a substance that stays cold... you to compress it in order to make it liquid and then it absorves heat and evaporates completing the cycle... if you are looking for a sort of system that will make something stay cool.. .hmmm man it is called Air Conditioned

Is it a gas or a Diesel?  Thie easiest way to think about HP. is this:  You need either air to go faster into the engine...or faster out of the engine.  Easy inexpensive fixes could be a cold air intake or a throttle body spacer.  These would allow air to enter your engine faster.  Another option is a more free flowing exhaust...sucking air out faster.  If you want to spend more money..a computer chip or programmer (you have to run premium gas if you have a gas vehicle)..or supercharger or turbo.  These are more expensive than the options above

a K&N air filter kit is supposed to give a horsepower boost by cutting down on the air resistance going through the engine.  they are also reusable so, it'll save you money.\n\ncheck http://www.knfilters.com

Well, I don't know a whole lot about engines, but I have worked on my mortorcycle a bit and here's what I learned.  By changing the amount of force behind pushing the exhaust out of the pipes, you also change the amount of back pressure inside the engine causing a change in performance, usually a negative one, especially if you only change one side of the equation. If you triple pipe, you will also need to change the settings on the fuel injectors/jets to keep your HP.

well...\n\nlook for performance:\nheaders\nexhaust pipes\nmufflers\nintake manifold\nair filter\ndrivetrain pulleys\nfuel injectors\nthrottle body\nfuel pump\n\nsupercharging the motor always helps. =]\njuss make sure u upgrade ur brakes too, though. lol.

To start, I'm not a "tuner guy". It seem one would want to istall a performance exhaust to allow more air flow and a computer reprogrammer to override the fuel efficient factory settings. These things alone will gain you maybe 40% more horsepower. Tuning the suspension is a big next step to get the most from your newfound power. \nThere are tuner shops who could give you lots of tips on performance or try this site. http://importtuner.com\n\nGood Luck !

well an upgraded clutch and flywheel, helps hold the horsepower and tourque created by an enhanced engine. If you have done any serious motor upgrades(i.e. big turbo, bore, port polish and big time spray) yeah you need a better than stock clutch

One very important application for viscosity that affects much of the world is the rating of engine oils.  For example 10W30 engine oil behaves as though it has a low viscosity (10) while cold during startup but thickens due to the action of special polymers when hot (30).  This increases the flow of cold oil improving initial lubrication while reducing engine wear.  The specific oil viscosity grade selected may depend on the season and the minimum temperature expected (especially where bitterly cold).  This can be an important safety consideration allowing a sure start when the battery exhibits minimum power, preventing people from being stranded in the cold.  When I worked at Brookfield Engineering (long ago) they shipped viscosimeters all over the world for use in chemical plants including paint factories.

The heater itself doesn't increase fuel consumption.  In most cars, the heater takes existing engine heat from the coolant and directs it into the car by using a small radiator.  If you use the fan to boost the amount of heated air pushed into the car's interior, you use a little more electricity, which puts more load on the engine.  But truly, the amount of electricity the fan uses is about the same as the headlights or the radio.  Some cars use the air conditioner whenever you turn on the defrost setting on the heater, because the air conditioner dries out the air and makes the windows defog much faster.  So theoretically, if you use the heater fan or the defroster, you may be using slightly more fuel.

Yes you can put a cold air intake in a car without the turbo. Most cold intake comes off the carb, or intake manifold, or fuel injector, and attaches to the inside of the fender. You could find a similar car and compare parts.

This will definitely improve your performance.  A light shower of water should clean out the dirt/sand (don't spray a super fast hose stream of water at the components or you could blast the grease out of the bearings).\n\nAfter washing it with a gentle stream of water, you should dry it, and then apply some wet lube (I use finish line personally) to the entire drive train.\n\nGood luck.

"Each hob contains one or more coils made of ferromagnetic material. When an alternating current is passed through these coils, a magnetic field of the same frequency is produced. If a magnetic-based pan is placed on the hob, the magnetic field induces a current in the pan. The internal resistance of the pan causes heat to be dissipated, following the Joule effect. Thus it is the pan itself, and not the cooktop, that heats up and cooks the food. Once the pan is removed from the cooktop, the energy transfer stops. The result is a flame-less method of cooking in which it is nearly impossible to start a fire by forgetting to turn off the stove. Parents won't have to worry about their child touching a hot burner because the cooktop surface remains cool. Changing cooking temperatures is achieved quickly because there is no wait for the hob to heat up, only the pan. Since there is no transfer of heat energy between the hob and the pan, less heat is lost into the air, resulting in a more efficient means of cooking, not to mention a more agreeable cooking environment."\n\n\nhope that help?  we just renovated our kitchen and have installed a Miele induction cooktop and it works wonderfully.  It provides much greater control over temperature...and I am still shocked at how quickly water comes to a boil.  Who knew a stove would be so exciting? haha.
