Has anyone tried to run a pipe off the a/c out put into the intake just a thought! i mean cooler air dose mean more power lol!

wont work, because the A/C is a pressurized system...

I think he means from the cabin side of the HVAC duct work, so you'd be blowing low pressure cooled air into the intake. I think it's a lot of work for no reward.

not enough pressure... now if you get some super duper cold GM ac pump that will freeze u in an instant and then have a super duper high power fan that puts out oooo lets say at least 12 pounds per inch of pressure then you got boot!

[ncoutlaw]

theres an kit for that already , its called cryo somthing seen it at an speed shop near me .

[Lil' Whitie]

u know i don't blame ya i acually thought it be a good idea a few years ago.

you are better off getting a high power leaf blower and running nitrious off that then you will get noticeiable gains.

[wed3k]

meh, just run a velocity stack outside the car.

Cryo2 is not the same thing, it is a cO2 injection into the airstream.

also if you are thinking of say...running intake so the air passes over your evaporator (the a/c part that makes the air cold) before hitting the engine...that won't work either, the air flow is too fast...you actually get cooler air the slower the air passes over the evaporator...when it goes fast over it...it isn't in contact long enough to get cold

[Accord R33]

even if you DID get some kind of gain, it would be completely nullilfied by the parasitic effect of the compressor. Let's put this idea back in the box, shall we?

Seems like I saw something like that a while back on YouTube. I think it was an Integra, guy ran an intake pipe into the cabin so they could hear it hit Vtec and then decided to shoot the air from the A/C into the pipe.
