Hey guys I was reading something some one posted in another area. I know the answere to the first question is no It been tryed and dosen't work very well. But some one posted an idea and Im wondering if it might just work to give a small bit or extra power power. Here is the first post that was made.

"Ok, i bet someone has already tried this and proven that it didnt work, but ill throw it out here anyway.
Today i was driving down the road and i pulled over to get gas. just for the heck of it i opened the decklid and my right fresh air hose had come off of the heat riser. As I felt in front of this hose, i felt air coming out of it. i looked at my air filter. i looked at the hose. a light bulb went on over my head.
is this possible?"

Now I know this wont work or work very well but how about what this other person posted. It kind of got my gears moving.

"Now, what if you put on a throttle body?....With a computer controlled injector."

Now would this kind set up of work if you used something like a closed loop unit from CB Performance? That has so man sensors that it can adjust to just about any thing.

The answer is still no.

Air needs to be compressed into the motor to be of any use.Also you need extra fuel to compensate for any extra air fed into the motor.
So stop it and think about something else.

We're all here ....cos we're not all there

Hey dont get mad. I NEVER planed on doing a set up like that. I just wanted to see what you guys thought of a hair ball idea like that. I figured it wouldnt work. If it did people would be doing it to there engines already.

Hold on I'm not gettin mad.
Keep thinking laterally and you never know what you will come up with.some of the best idea's stem from things as hair ball as that.
