You guys may laugh and think I am crazy on this one but I was thinking of a cost effective way to make some horsepower from the cars resources and here is what I came up with, check this:
For those of you that have airconditioning if you notice that when you turn your A/C on full blast you get a nice push of freezing air out of the 4 seperate air vents from your dash. I was thinking has anyone thought of a flap that can open and close and re-direct the cold air flow from the air conditioner/compressor/fan and directly channel it thru one single large duct leading directly into the engines intake system? This is just raw thinking- Ok so now you have super cold air producing horsepower in combination with a very mild form of forced air induction, (with the electric fan). I am sure all of you have heard of the electric fan supercharging crap for little hp gains. Do you guys see what I am getting at here? I also understand the a/c takes power to run but could the positives out weigh the negatives? I call this theory of mine "Cold Air Induction".. Ha Ha....
So in conclusion you run your a/c normally, then when racing you simply click the vent switch and run the a/c directly into the engines intake. "Cold Air Induction" do you think just maybe you could gain hp off the A/C compressor and electric fan? What do you guys think of this crazy and probably stupid idea of mine?...
Oh, and I have not been drinking or doing drugs last time I checked. I just have a creative imagination at times. I hope you guys get a good laugh out of this atleast if it is infact a worthless idea...
