Do All Engines Benefit From Induction Kits?

Posted: Jan 18, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 293 |

If you have a car and love speed, then you are quite familiar with induction kits. These are cone shaped filters that help increase a car’s air intake thus increasing the horse power in the process. Induction kits are often required by speed racers and are used when fine tuning a car or increasing its racing capabilities.

One of the reasons why people love fast cars is the sound the engine emits when racing. The sound gives the impression of power and torque to the car. Nothing else is responsible for this other than induction kits.

Now, speed is not something that you could easily achieve with the normal or factory car configurations and applications. If you must race or boost your car speed, then you should prepare for an application that encourages cold air intake.

Research has shown that cold air induction encourages more cold air intake in the car engines –more oxygen- which further results in the car’s speed increasing significantly. Thankfully, cars these days come with that allowance thus giving all intended drivers the opportunity to increase their car’s speed.


While cold air induction kits are a favourite among car racers and speed lovers, it also has its disadvantages. These are not exactly very big problems per se, but they are still a little bit inconveniencing.

Too Much Noise

In order to increase a car’s speed, the engine often creates a roaring sound. While some car owners love these sounds, others think they are too much noise and would rather wish for a more subtle sound. The reasons for this vary and can include the fact that the police are often on the lookout for fast cars.

Since a roaring engine is a signature of fast cars, it definitely attracts that kind of attention. However, if you want speed, then you have got to love or at least tolerate the sound; it is a pretty small price to pay for such pleasure and feel of power on wheels.

Cars with Small Engines May Not Adapt Well

Cold air induction kits are often good for big engine cars, however, they may be counterproductive for cars with smaller engines. This is because smaller engines get pretty hot faster and it takes more time to deliver cold air to the engine. It is also important to note that smaller engines have less power if they are fitted with air induction kits. In this case, simply replacing it with a panel air filter will do just fine.

One other important thing is cold air induction kits requirements vary across the different states and countries. It is best to be informed of this before installing an induction kit in your car. Also, watch out for promises of guaranteed power when buying cold air induction kits. These are not usually realistic.

    Take a deep breath, now let it out. Now go out and sprint a ¼ mile and when you get to the end take short little one second breathes. Notice the difference between the two. That is essentially what happens to a vehicle when it doesn’t get enough air into the lungs (the engine).
