Installed the standard warm air mod

[drktrpr]

With the cold weather hitting chicago lately, I finally found some time to throw on a cheapy version of the warm air mod.

Nothing fancy, but I'm hoping it will help...and if it doesn't well no harm no foul really. The original piping is all in place just sitting beneath.

(yes, i know this has been done already. i'm just posting my attempt for the heck of it. no such thing as to many pictures)

Hi Drktprr:

___This isn’t another WAI mod; it is the same one that has been used for years.

___Good Luck

i didn't mean it was a different version of the warm air mod, just that it had been done again.

Figured more pics couldn't hurt, i know i like pictures when i'm doing stuff.

Photos are always good.

Hey DR... great stuff.... I've been looking at a way to do the warm air thing cheaply and I think you've hit it... the other methods I've seen looked to bothersome to me...

YAWAM?

Looks good. Got any IAT data?

What's your MPG improvement so far?

[drktrpr]

no, no data or anything like that. I did notice about a 5mpg increase from my usual winter driving.

Usually I can't keep it over 50 in the winter around these temps, but I was able to get 54.2 coming back today from st. charles.

I know I could block the radiator a bit....but honestly, this is about as far as I want to go with having to do stuff. I should change the air filter though....

Hi Drktrpr:

___The pics are great but this is the exact mod I have been using since day 1 just a short 373 days ago

One Chance to make a Warm Air Intake …

___Insightful_Trekker, I gain ~ 20 degrees F on the IAT when measured in 32 degree F temps. Since that OBD-II measurement, I have moved the inlet hose to actually touching the CAT shroud with the WAI hose end hanging on the tab/bracket/Bolt/nut of the CAT shroud itself. Probably more like 25 – 28 degrees F increase in AIT’s now.

___Good Luck

If you remember with the sheet metal mod I've repeatedly seen +45F IAT's with ambient's in the low 40's. Winter's been especially kind here in east Tennessee so consistent low temps haven't been available ... yet.

Hi Insightful_Trekker:

___Yes, I remember. Didn’t you use a modded Ford F-150 truck exhaust piece for the WAI?

___Good Luck
