so ive been searching and searching and i haven't found anything relating specifically to this topic, and i will not be surprised if it seems lame/stupid/dumb/idiotic/(whatever you want to call it) to some members but here goes...
what is known about a more elaborate airbox mod? anything?
ive got a bit of an idea that just wont leave me alone...
i cant stop thinking about adding some plumbing to the original fz6 airbox to suck up air from somewhere else, mainly towards the front, maybe even utilizing those two "scoop looking openings" on the front fairing as a starting place for some ducting leading into the airbox itself...
my questions are...anyone here know anything about pneumatic thermodynamics? (thermodynamics has always been something that i would love to truly understand in its entirety, although in the instance of the theories of thermodynamics this (understanding everything about thermodynamics) would be nearly impossible (or so i infer...) anyways on to it...i have questions about the significance of the change in temperature the air intake charge goes through in the time from cruising down the road at (for example) 70mph (@ say 90 degree Fahrenheit ambient temp) until it reaches the combustion chamber...
what i am GUESSING is the reading on my display of the temp inside the airbox is pretty much worthless (just hear me out, i am not educated in this area) due to the air intake charge traveling X distance through components that are Y temperature that are surrounded by components that are Z temperature
does this make sense? basically what i am wondering is...if ambient temp is 90f, airbox read is 100f, will lowering box temp closer to ambient temp potentially increase performance?
main question about my idea : will directing air from a cooler source (ie a cooler = source other than from directly above the motor/header) positively affect performance (even in the slightest, most trivial measure)?
secondary question : is any kind of ram air idea just too far fetched? or could it potentially be an idea that could improve performance through tuning with a pc3 (once again, even in the most trivial measure of in crease in performance)
yeah so... i think thats about it... sorry if anyone has posted on this before
