Re: New Longhorn Unrestricted DCAI
So here’s what I’m thinking, using the ideal gas law we can find out if an aftermarket intake is actually more effective than stock.
Ideal Gas Law states: PV=nRT
Pressure = MAF reading
Volume= whatever constant you want, I’m thinking the throttle body is what we want to solve for, since we want to know how much air is going into the engine.
N= moles of air, MAF reading will give you grams/sec of air passing through
R= pressure constant 0.08206 L·atm·mol−1·K−1
T= Intake temp, reading given through Torque Pro as well.
My thought is, just because the IAT is lower, it does not mean the intake is more effective than stock, because the engine could be getting less air. And using this formula can help formulate a proper answer to this long debate between stock , HAI, and CAI.
