Complete: My new intake setup, Forced airpump air!
Ok here are some pics of my new setup ive been working on, feel free to ask questions or make comments, or tell me that It wont work for any reason. I havent started the car up yet, I wanted to see what you guys thought.
The idea basically is to use the Excess air from the airpump thats not needed by the VDI and force it back into the intake for, supposedly/hopefully, more power.
The piping looks kind of messy, i even put tape on some parts of it because it was ugly underneath, but its all air tight, for sure.
heres the pics.

good thing it only costs 15 bucks if its not gonna do anything, i guess ill revert to stock setup. or should i ditch the piece that connects between the filter and AFM and run that pipe instead of the stock accordian one?

It's not a bad place to dump the excess air, since open venting it generally makes a rather annoying noise, and running it through the ACV silencer creates too much backpressure to use it to activate without the solenoid, *shrug* It definatly doesn't flow enough air to give any performance increase, but at least it's not a terrible waste of time. I'm just waiting for someone to rig up a BOV to their air pump to mimick the turbo sound.

I can't believe someone actually bothered with this. You must've missed the very long threads about this a while ago. Basically what happened was all those who didn't understand how fluid dynamics applies to engines posted again and again about how it might work and how it might be worthwhile, and those who do actually understand fluid dynamics explained at great length several times over why this does not, can not and will not ever work at all!

With what I totally forgot about, it won't. The engines going to suck all the air out of it, which means it'll never see positive pressure, which means no VDI. I didn't quite think beyond the idea that it'd finally be a quiet place to dump the air easily. Oh well... Guess I'm keeping the ACV silencer.

Dezerte, make that intake duct a little longer, put a heat shield around it and duct some outside air to it. There's your 5hp, probably more.

I like making custom stuff, even if it doesn't work half the time
