More Power for Your Honda Accord

If you want more power for your Accord a cold air intake system is one of the answers. It is a way to increase the airflow of into your engine.

The air that your engine breathes goes through several devices before it gets to the combustion chambers and mixes with fuel to produce power. You will find that most car's intake systems are restrictive. This is caused because of space limitation in the engine compartment, and in order to reduce sound levels. If you have a restrictive system it will slow the air flow to the engine. This then reduces the potential power of your car. Drawing in cool atmosphere restores some of this lost power.

Lower temperatures of air going into your engine mean the denser the air will be. Denser air increases the amount of oxygen available for combustion with fuel. So you want to get colder air flow in your engine and thereby you increase the power output.

If you feed the engine with the the air in the engine compartment, you put hot air in your engine. the If your system could pull in air away from the engine, it would be cooler.

So one system method is to position the air intake further away from the engine heat.

Another approach is to increase the diameter of the intake, which increases the airflow through the engine.

You can also design an intake device with a smoother interior for the airflow. A smoother intake system means less restrictions.

Another intake system approach is to have a very direct route, which again reduces any restrictions.

The last method is to "tune" the length of the air intake to provide maximum air flow at particular engine speeds.

While you are drawing air into your engine you do not want to pull in dirt or other harmful particles. You need an great air filter for your system. Most of time a special intake will use a more efficient, less restricting air filter.

With every advantage there may be a disadvantage. These intake systems may tend to increase the risk of ice building up in chilly weather.

This type of intake approach may also pull water into the engine along with air, if you go through deep puddles on the road. This depends where the air inlet is positioned.

If you want more power, then you have to take the good with the bad on air intake systems. Remember you have several intake choices. Make a good one.
