No...forced induction=more air. The only way to do that is by supercharger/turbo. No, ram air intakes dont count

 

oh... ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

actually, in some cases they do. but there are certain factors that take into place.

air has to be directly fed to the intake, more likely a closed intake box, by something like open intake ducts.

it'll only become a "force induction" at high speeds (and no, high speeds does not = 100mph, im talkin about in excess of 150mph)

Fararri has tested it, and at such a speed, there is so much air being rammed into the intake that it creats a forced induction effect. they've tested it to give you another 20hp. this is why the Ferrari 550 Maranello has a Ram Air Duct that directly feeds the intake. It's not just a fashion statement.

it's still not a true force induction tho.

 

Blah blah newb, the air is not compressed though, THATS the difference

 

Easy on the newb label there, you`re right that no short ram intake will compress air and boost air pressure, but the term here is "forced" rather than "compressed" ne? At least this "newb" can communicate in complete sentences and seperates his sentences so as not to make a big mess of a paragraph.

though, to nitpick, it`s spelled "Ferrari" with an e, the two r`s coming first, and the maranello comes in an increased displacement model called the 575 now.

 

forgive me on my spelling mistakes.

but tryiian is right, you have the terminology confused. the air is forced into the intake/manifold. the air doesnt have to be compressed together to be forced.

but the factors are somewhat exact, air cannot escape the intake box so that all the air coming the intake duct is forced into the intake (this case rules out CAI's and because air can simply go around the filter and exit and SRI's because in most cases, air is not being directly fed to the intake). thus a "forced induction" effect. also, you have to be going pretty damn fast in order to have that much air to make such an effect.

like i said tho, it's not a true "forced induction." but it's an effect.

 

well whaddaya know, I DO learn something new everyday~ lol, thanx for the info fellas. ill let y'all know how well this forced induction intake works when my prayers are answered and a Ferrari falls outta the sky with the keys in the ignition (with a parachute of course!)

 

I labeled him as a newb because of his post count It was a joke, post count means nothing, your ignorant if you think otherwize. But yeah, sorry for ragging on you but that wasnt my intention

 

no offense taken. some people are immature and will try and fight back. also, i know how big people rag on people on forums. im just stating facts from other sources and try to contribute.

 

alls well that ends well, iThink this thread is done, for now at least.
