Appreciate What An Induction Kit Can Do To Your Car Engine
Simply described, induction kit is a way to ensure fresh cold air to your car engine. This is relevant for car tuning, because cold air has more oxygen content to boost the combustion process of the fuel, and hence the efficiency of engine. It involves air filter and various tools on it to raise the cold air supply to engine.
And it also leads to complications of various sorts. The same cannot be true for large and small cars alike. The shape and size of engines matters. The type of the air filter employed, dealing with engine bay temperatures also matter in application of induction kit to any car.
As far as the filtering material is concerned, it is in general slightly-oiled cotton gauze filtering that works best. But practically, it may be sponge filter with dirt retentive spray and other modern gauze filters that would work the best for fast cars. It may seem against common logic, but slight oiling of the filtering material is helpful improve the airflow through filters. Beyond the above options, multilayered fine metallic mesh may also be a good. All these prove to be better options than paper filters.
It should be noted carefully that the oil should be slight in amount. Too much of it may cause problems. Mass air flow sensor should be coated with slight amount of oil, and it should be cleaned frequently. Air induction kits are designed in a way they could replace the air box of the mainstream cars. The only negative element is the noise created by the kit.
