Today 5-17-2013 test from 3pm to 3:45pm
Added a fujita Cone filter right at the Mass Air Sensor
Removed Air box that was being fed air from the upper grill
Thus a WARM Air Intake.
Outside temp: 90 degrees
wind: hardly
no humidity
Ran east & west on 1604 with cruise control set at 52mph (sorry meant to set 50mph) 5 miles each way
ScangaugeII is calibrated to Garmin GPS.
Air Conditioning ON.
Results:
3pm at 52mph
a1: 25.3mpg 213Wft 161Fia
a2: 25.9mpg 213Wft 161Fia
a3: 24.6 225 161
a4: 25.2 225 166
Installed Fujita Cone at MAS.
B1 27.1mpg 225wft 177fia
B2 28.4mpg 222wft 177fia
B3 25.5 mpg 229wft 170fia
b4 28.8mpg 225wft 175fia
THoughts:
surprised the fia was at 160 range w/ factoryintake air box housing sealed
also not really happy w/ engine temp in the 225 range on a 90 degree pleasant day.
May install an aux fan that I pulled off the infiniti Q45 before I sold it.
(kinda like my lower complete grill block and dont REALLY want to open it.)
looks lkie the WAI might be worth 2+
