cold air intake in the winter??

[jonmaltese6thg]

ok ive heard that if u keep ur aftermarket coldair intake in the winter ur valves will freeze and start knocking......... im pretty sure ive witnessed it too but is it 100% fact cuz a friend threw away his stock airbox like an idiot and its already been fukin cold out an we already hear knocking LMAO he has a d16

 

[toneekay]

i WANT it to get cold, to colder, the better.. for boost =D

 

[jonmaltese6thg]

u sure cuz i dont think toooo cold is good if saying an NA motor witha cold air in the winter,, i dont believe the motor will survive, youd fry ur valves

bwwahahaha who ever told you the valves would freeze is RETARDED.

If you run the dog piss out of your motor before it has warmed up then thats your fault.

I have run cold air through snow storms with out a problem

Colder the air the more horsepower you can produce and the happier your engine will be.

I have never heard anything like this. By the time the air reaches the intake piping that has been sitting in the engine bay, the air will warm up a good deal. I've been driving mine is 35 Degree temperatures and I haven't had a single problem. The valve clicking could be from your friend having a low oil level. If people were worried about cold air...what about the people that are running nitrous...?

yes i understnad that and i dont mean FREEZE cuz its so cold outside i mean they will start knocking ,, i find it hard to believe that u ppl ran a coldair intake during the winter and at the end of the season they wertent clicking or knocking??? wow i got 2 completely diff answers for this question need more input plz all comments are appreciated!!

AGAIN thats not true i think everyone here agrees that cooler air produces more HP and for us BOOSTED cars we love it. knocking comes from lack of oil, lack of oil change, and running the piss out of your car w/o warming it up.

 

[toneekay]

yes, you must ALWAYS warm up your car whether its hot, cold, raining, snowing, icing, tornado..

i always let my rpm settle below 1k rpm before i start driving..

I've run cold air through 2 winters and last winter we saw songle digits and i have had no problems. . . . . plus my nitrous is injested right before the TB and STILL no problems. Cold air > warm air

my turbo sticks out of my hoood through the icey winters, and no problems.. ... . -____-

The reason why COLD AIR is better is because it is less dense....meaning that you can get more air into each cylinder. More air packed in there will result in a bigger and more powerful explosion, resulting in more power. If its right around freezing, I'll let my car warm up for a lil bit...3-5 minutes before driving or if i have to be in a hurry, i'll drive it very slow, shifting at low rpm's.

Cold air will not hurt an engine. It will help it run better more than anything.

FYI Cold air is denser and carries more oxygen improving combustion.
