> Well, I know some of you were interested in my Weed wacker blower intake
mod.. Currently
> I'm building a seperate air filter box that's almost complete that I will
mount below
> the radiator facing forward with new openings in the radiator mount to
allow fresh
> air through the air dam into the air box. I have used the flexible
metalic 4" hoses
> to run to the blower and the into the throttle body using a PVC 5" to 4"
reducer
> giving me a good fit on the throttle body (with the help of my dremel
around the
> hold down bolts). So far nothing has worn out(using previous setup with
origanal
> filter holder). The new air intake setup will allow for use of cooler air
and less
> restance.
> I tried a more powerfull blower for a while (12 amp.) but my inverter
couldn't handle
> it, I'm now back to the origanal 8 amp. blower.
> Results so far are about 2 mpg around town better and close to the same
highway,
> I also have better low end torque, top end I'm not sure due to winter
weather but
> it seems better.
> When conditions and a location allow I'll test the system against my
open 14"x4"
> filter.
> The hardware store dimmer switch that I hooked up to the throttle body
is still
> holding up and I adjusted it so I don't sound like a giant vacume cleaner
at stop
> lights. As I said before I'll keep all of you posted on the progress.
