New Idea - Hot Box Intake
Well I'm gonna borrow a few ideas from a few places and try to tagged the altogether on this one. I know a few people have "Hot air Intakes", which help their mileage to constantly feeding hot air into the engine. I view this as both good and bad.
With fall soon approaching I won't get 80 degree mornings. And in fact we're going to break 50 this weekend with the cold front/hurricane off the east coast.
So this is my idea:
1) Snake metal flex pipe, or metal hard line from the exhaust manifold region to the air intake (this I take from Triumph TR7)
2) Use a universal door lock actuator to open a port on the exhaust intake box. (this I take from a post I read on the "variable air dam")
3) Wire the actuator two a switch and a indicator light.
While it might take the drive train some time to warm up, I think this will aid the engine on the coming mornings of fall and winter. But once up the temps, I can close it off and keep pulling the clean air to keep the engine running at normal temps. I don't want to temp fate with an air block and a Hot air intake.
Post some feedback. Haven't done any background searches, or parts ordering. Just an idea.
