Tones Cold Air Twister Intake????

[Dino]

Gee Dino, in your few short months on here and your 22 threads, you're quick to start criticizing. Had you searched and used your head, you'd have found that there IS dyno info on changing from the restrictive stock airbox to a filter with a larger surface area and even moreso with a blown application. True a better exhaust with a better intake arrangement is even better but the stock pipe and muffler does NOT flow all that it can. More air in will send more air out, restricted or not.

When you can start providing info that is helpful and backup by FACTS, you might really be credible. Until then, your 'years of tuning experience' are just hot air.

Now your test light writeup (and other idle musings to hear yourself talk) were funny - all cars draw some current rest - maybe you should disconnect the battery everytime you park un unplug all the fuses......

As for the filter being damaged, **** happens to all manufacturers and can slip out. Had he simply notified me, it would have been replaced right away. Green products have always been above average in quality and are superior to K&N.

Thank You. Spoken with a lot of maturity and tact!

Oh by the way, there is a little typo there on your website.
That cute little swirly thingy that you call a "Venture"
Here's what Websters has to say about that word:

Main Entry: 1ven·ture
Pronunciation: 'ven(t)-sh&r
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): ven·tured; ven·tur·ing /'ven(t)-sh(&-)ri[ng]/
Etymology: Middle English venteren, by shortening & alteration from aventuren, from aventure adventure
transitive verb
1 : to expose to hazard : RISK, GAMBLE <ventured a buck or two on the race>
2 : to undertake the risks and dangers of : BRAVE <ventured the stormy sea>
3 : to offer at the risk of rebuff, rejection, or censure <venture an opinion>
intransitive verb : to proceed especially in the face of danger
- ven·tur·er /'ven(t)-sh(&-)r&r/ noun

I think you ment Venturi
Here's the definition of that word:
Main Entry: ven·tu·ri
Pronunciation: ven-'tur-E
Function: noun
Etymology: G. B. Venturi died 1822 Italian physicist
: a short tube with a tapering constriction in the middle that causes an increase in the velocity of flow of a fluid and a corresponding decrease in fluid pressure and that is used especially in measuring fluid flow or for creating a suction (as for driving aircraft instruments or drawing fuel into the flow stream of a carburetor)


That little group of fins is not a venturi.

When you can learn how to spell and use proper grammar AND terminology, YOU TOO might really be credible. Until then, pleasse curb your adolescent behavior.

That maybe true geshaw but I cant respect someone for jumping on people twice just in this month. I have never met the guy and probly never will but if I did im sure I would change some of my opinion.

I think you ment Venturi

I think you meant...meant. (root word, mean)

Correcting other peoples spelling can be an awfully slippery slope...

And I'll second what George said...while I've never seen him sweat in the Texas sun, I HAVE seen him sweat, while going out of his way to help others, in the Utah sun & he's always gone out of his way to provide superior customer support for the products I have purchaced from him.

To stay on topic, IMHO I don't think any "cold air intake" that draws air from under the hood is truly a CAI. You need to isolate the source of intake air via ducting/insulation, so it is bringing air in from the fender well/ behind the headlight...or cut a scoop into the hood (next project )that dumps outside air into the airbox.

OK, rant over...move along people, nothing to see here...

Actually I used the "venture" spelling because that's what's used on the Green site (it's also why I referred to it in quotes) - Tone's merely using the terminology that Green is using. Tone replied to my email pretty much immediately with a return number and address - Green has also apologized but I'll refrain from a further opinion until I get a replacement. I'm going to take some pictures of it today and use it to measure the CF intake tube I'm having made - I'll get it in the mail on Monday for a return/exchange - I guess I'm out the return cost of shipping.

And you don't even own a VX anymore...

Yet he was the first in line to pony up fifty bucks to keep this site going...I'd say you really hit the nail on the head...he's obviously of low moral character.

I hope my sarcastic tone needs no further explaination...

[VehiGAZ]

Let's say this much, ldub, Tone is neither pure saint nor pure sinner.

Couldn't agree more...I fall into the same category.

[nocturnalVX]

To keep this thread going further off track... I'd say I'm more like a saintly sinner!

..... that tone is very 'comfortable' playing the "know it all' arrogant role...

(recently...be it Dinos experienced 'opinions' regarding exhaust/venture (SIC) stuff...or giving "Nerve gas" a REAL hard time for sharing his thoughts/dreams for his rig)



So...if as we have seen historically..
...that tone doesnt have a problem with belittling other posters ......



...then Ergo , one must assume that tone will be OK with.......


........ QUID PRO QUO


IMO...it boils down to tone taking as good as he seems to love to give.

I'm not taking sides here but there is very little difference in power from an intake filter
I have them on my car, motorcycles, jet skis and snowmobile but really just because of the clean & reuse factor. There is a sound difference but let be real here performace - not - though I like to think there is .
Another thing that gets me and I find it with my car club too is the use of aluminum on the intake systems. OK it looks pretty and great to show but doesn't aluminum absorb heat quickly ? So your putting in transfer engine bay heat into the intake ? There is a "Cool intake system" on the market that has an insulated intake tube to the a external intake location which allows cooler air to the motor - now that might be worth taking a look into - but it might be a "scam" deal too.
