Forced Air Velocity Stacked Deck-Mod
#61
yes the truck will keep running with your hand over the hole, its an airbox its made to keep it running with the intake is covered by things like water. if you held it there for 5 and there was an airtight seal around your hand and it kept running then yea id say its not airtight. otherwise i think its got a pretty good seal.
The point is, the airbox isn't sealed so even IF the fan could push enough air for forced induction, it wouldn't make a difference.

That was my point. I could keep my hand there all day and it would keep running. The airbox is NOT airtight. And if you get that much water up that close the the airbox it WILL suck it in. But thats a completely different topic

and i know the airbox will suck water in. had to scoop a little out once lol

Hmmm, as there's an initial drop in pressure at the instant the throttle-plate opens (created by the mechanical pumping action from the engine - the suck), so the little fan that might could serve to compensate for that pressure drop, essentially improving low-end throttle response. That fan will run out of mustard pretty quick, though, so I can't see any improvement beyond improved tip-in. Did dyno results appear anywhere in this thread?
As for the stack mod being dyno-proven, it was very dyno'd, with scientific method all over the place. Stop being a doubter.
Whether or not the airbox is airtight (which it ain't), how much does it bleed versus the air headed in?

They didn't. And for good reason- any gains would only be comparable to that of a plain jane deckplate mod.

For those that are unaware, the REAL reason velocity stacks have the curved intake isn't because it increases velocity. The radius prevents an eddy from forming at the corner of the intake, which reduces the effective hydraulic diameter of the pipe. Of course a 4" intake is large enough that this isn't an issue in our case anyway...
In the case of a 4" diamter pipe, you need a curve radius of about 1/2" to prevent eddys from occurring, but even if they do occur it isn't a large enough effect to affect the intake's resistance compared to say sucking air through the filter.
