Herb,



Now that you mention it I do remember the article. I will try and find something out on it if I can.

doug, that is the setup i'd like sometime in the future. i'll look it up again tonite, if i have time. i had planned to wait and see what they came up with. the "inventor" wasn't planning on marketing it himself, if i remember right. he planned to have one of the current vendors selling it, i think.

I just ordered a Ram-Air hood and will be building a box for the BHAF to hook up to it.



Insurance is paying for it. . tree fell on the mule



The manufacturer is sending me an extra lower skin to help me fab it out. When I'm done he will produce the functioning hood and I'll make the box.



. . Just 2 wks to wait for the hood

I have ordered the new K&N filter charger cold air system. I am gonna toss the KN filter and mount up a fleetgaurd AH19002 its a 8" diameter BHAF with the filter media made of fiber glass. I am gonna "trim" into the stock hole just to get a little more air flow. I think this setup will work great with a ram air hood

Cumminpwr11- What is this K&N thing supposed to do? That is how is it made? I want to make some sort of cold air induction for my BHAF, and if I could buy it somewhere, that would make things a lot easier.

check this bad boy out minus the K&N and add a BHAF.



this kit is supposed to seal against the hood so it sucks and draws heavily though the fender opening. Thats why I am gonna make it a little bigger

bad link i cant get it to go to it. but it is here

I want my BHAF to draw all the warm air it can into the engine. If I am not mistaken the ideal intake air temp is around 70 degrees. If you draw in cold outside air you are effecting your IAT and the engine efficiency. I am actually going to block off that air hole next to the BHAF for my next tank of fuel and see if it makes any diff. Happy bombing from AK where the intake air temp is cold right now.

BHAF???

What's the point of putting on a big honking air filter and then hanging on a whole bunch of prefilter this and that's?Fixing it so it won't get wet and get sucked into the turbo, etc. , etc. ,Scares me to think what might happen if--- not counting taking off the air box and modifying all kinds of things, when in reality,,, is the bhaf THAT much better than stock?? After all, the air coming into the turbo is COOLER from the outside, no? Doesn't cooler air make for denser , more fuel burn?? Hence, AFTERCOOLER?? Please, tell me if I'm wrong.

I saw a couple of questions that are interesting. .



Hemiville,

The BHAF really doesn't get wet and for it to matter it would have to get soaked. I have had no problems even washing under the hood. just don't hose it down.



under-hood air vs fresh air is only a real issue at higher hp levels where boost is adding more heat to the air. . at 40 psi boost the heat of compression is greater than at 20-25psi.



You'll see better MPG at slightly higher temps becase the ECM detects the temp and slightly reduces fuel. This has less performance though. most normal drivers want to stop for fuel less often and are not worried about . 1 sec increase on the 0-60 time. The reduction in fuel on a stock truck will lower egts.



I recieved my Fleetguard catalog and am looking into metal and plastic housings w/similar flows to the bhaf negating the under hood air and water issues.



the CFm rating of a 5. 9ISB cam be as high as 600 cfm in factory configurations. . so if youre running a BOMBED truck you NEED the BHAF flow. If you run at over 350hp and tow you will wantto check into cold air induction of some sort.



gotta run to catch a plane. . more later.







Oo.

I looked back through the catalog and it lists CFM for stock engines. . a 275hp ISB requires 608 cfm@2500 rpm by factory spec. A 350 ISC needs 847@2200rpm. Assuming that flow is more realted to output than displacement(big assumtion but the math works) the ISB at 350 hp should need 900 cfm.
