Why a Cold Air Intake?

In a prior blog I mentioned that I might be selling Cold or Cool Air Intakes and a friend asked me why. The reason is that this is an inexpensive and rather easy way to increase your Accord's horsepower. Air and fuel are mixed together in your engine to produce power. It's really the oxygen in the air that aids the burning of the fuel. So if you can increase the amount of air going into the engine you have increased the oxygen available to be burned and you get more power.

When a car is being designed a variety of trade offs are made. One is trading some power loss for a quieter engine. This is done by putting restrictions in the path of the air flow into the engine. Another is where the inlet is for this air path. The cooler the air is the denser it is. Denser air carriers more oxygen, which we know creates more power.

So a Cool Air Intake delivers air to the engine that is more dense and with less restrictions, so that more air gets in. And you get more power out.
