Review Q&A carburetor air intake

I see two pipes coming out of the carburetor on my Royal Enfield CL 350. One is a short pipe that I assume is for air intake. The other one is a long one going deep down somewhere near the battery. What is that for? What would happen if its other end is also free as the first pipe?

The long pipe is the overflow drainage pipe. This takes care that fuel is not splashed over the hot engine if there is a malfunction. This fuel is designed to fall on the road directly. If needed, you may use this outlet of fuel to drain fuel at times when water has entered the tank. This can be easily done by loosening a particular screw on the carb.

I have a huge doubt about the restrictor in Supra, we use old Kawasaki 400cc, 4 cylinder engine which is run by a carburetor. Now, can we place the 20mm restrictor in each intake manifold or single 20mm restrictor placed in air intake system?

Hi The rule clearly states that a ,Single ,circular restrictor must be placed in the intake system between the engine and throttle. So go according to the rules . All the best!! Regards A.A

As an auto mechanic, what is the most creative or unbelievable way someone rigged their vehicle before they finally brought it to you for repair?

Many years ago I got a phone call from a couple of US Marines, who were having trouble with a Toyota pickup. They had been trying to rebuild the carburetor in the hobby shop on base. And just made matters worse. Realizing that they needed professional help they gave me a call. I quickly determined from talking to them that the truck would run if they introduced a bit of gasoline directly into the air intake, but something prevented the fuel from being fed normally from the fuel pump to the carburetor. So I advised them to have it towed to the shop. About an hour later they drove the truck into the shop. They cost of the tow truck was too much so being US Marines, they adapted and created a “field expedient “ temporarily repair. They repositioned the hose for the windshield washers into the air intake, filled the windshield washer tank with gasoline and used the washer switch to pump the gasoline directly into the carburetor. Now, the washer tank only held enough fuel to drive a quarter to half mile so they had to stop numerous times to refill the washer tank, but they made it to the shop.

Who has installed a cold air intake system on their vehicle? Was it worth it?

Question: “Who has installed a cold air intake system on their vehicle? Was it worth it?” I have owned, worked on , and built high performance engines since the 1960’s. Again, based upon real world experience building engines, I will have to disagree with most of the answers on this question. A cold air intake system consists of replacement plumbing for a car or truck that relocates the snorkel for the intake air to a position away from hot engine parts and usually replaces the stock intake filter with an after-market low restriction filter. Cold air intake systems look something like this. They are generally useless. They can sometimes cause problems. Let me explain. In over fifty years of working on and building engines I have NEVER encountered an engine who's performance was limited by an inadequate supply of intake air. NEVER. The stock air cleaner that comes with your car is more than adequate to supply all of the air that engine needs. Think of it, if a simple, easily built, extremely inexpensive change in the air intake plumbing of a car would increase its power, the manufacturer, who has access to far better engineers than those working for an accessory company that builds little more than plumbing parts, would already have put that part on their vehicles! Since the 1990’s almost all cars have located the air intake for the throttle body far forward in the engine compartment where it draws in air from a snorkel at the front of the engine compartment next to the radiator. That is, your car probably already has a “cold air intake system”. Replacing that with a different cold air intake system from an after-market supplier will make no difference. Here, for example, is the stock air intake on a GM truck. The air intake is that big box on the left. It draws through a snorkel in front of and alongside the radiator. And this is an after-market cold air intake system. Where does it draw its air from? From the left side of the radiator, but less optimally from behind it. Moreover, the after-market system does not have GM’s very useful air cleaner service indicator that visually indicates when the air cleaner needs servicing. And it replaces a good air filter with one known to cause problems. (More on this later.) But even if the claimed increased flow capacity of after-market cold air intake systems could increase the performance of an engine (They can’t.), they would only have that effect at wide open throttle. Below that, below full open throttle at 5,000 or 6,000 rpm’s, they could not have any benefit at all because the engine’s demand for air is limited by the throttle plate and is far below the flow capacity of the stock air cleaner or its plumbing system. Think of it. How often do you drive your car at wide open throttle other than at a track day event? If you do: 1) You own a car that is seriously underpowered, or 2) you are an idiot. The ONLY instance in which an after-market filter or cold air intake system could POSSIBLY be of any benefit is if you have added a supercharger or a turbo charger and added an intercooler and/or have increased the flow velocities through your engine by fitting a larger throttle body (or carburetor if you have an older engine), changed the intake manifold, increased the size of the intake valves, changed the camshaft, replaced the stock exhaust manifolds with tuned headers, replaced the catalysts with high performance high volume catalysts, increased the diameter of the exhaust plumbing to 3-inches ID or better, and replaced the mufflers with low restriction 3-inch inlet mufflers or better, and then had your car professionally tuned on a dynamometer. THEN, after spending AT LEAST $10K on these mods, you MIGHT need a less restrictive intake air system. I have done all that to engines a lot of times. I have sometimes opted for an after-market air intake system. But I do not think I have ever done so primarily because the engine was intake air limited. Rather, I did so because it allowed me to physically relocate the intake air plumbing to accommodate turbos or intercoolers. After-market cold air intake systems are successfully marketed to people (always young men) who have an interest in cars but no real engineering knowledge and minimal mechanical experience or skill. The demographic for these things are the same guys who can be sold Super Spark Plugs or Wonder Additives and have the mistaken belief that a person with no skill or knowledge can seriously increase the horsepower of his car by bolting on a $200 part. NO. Car engines don’t work that way. However, these systems both look cool and are different and take no skill to bolt on. They thus give the buyer the excuse to brag to his buddies about how much better his car performs. Moreover, although these systems DO NOT and CANNOT improve performance (unless thousands of dollars have also been spent on real engine mods) the marketers of these things can always rely on the buyer’s desire to justify his bad decision. It is really hard for someone who has bought and installed a $200 piece of plumbing to honestly admit, “This piece of pipe doesn’t do anything. Boy was I stupid.” No. He cannot do that. He will IMAGINE that he subjectively “feels” more performance. Does he have the car put on a dyno for an objective comparison? No. Does he have any way to prove that the performance has improved? No. He wants to IMAGINE that it has. Imagining and claiming that the thing works is necessary to make him feel less of a shmuck. Someone tells you a cold air intake system improved the performance of his car? Ask him to show you the comparative dyno tests. That is how I evaluate and tune my cars. That is the only way to objectively determine if a change to an engine was worth the cost and effort. Aside from the “cool” look (desirable to the sort of person who would put an aero kit on a Honda Civic) in almost all situations after-market cold air intake systems make no difference. And, in the words of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, “A difference that makes no difference IS NO DIFFERENCE.” But, besides being a total waste of money, after-market cold air intake systems can cause serious problems. These systems often use a reusable air filter. To make these filters work it is necessary to coat them with oil. It is extremely common for the purchasers of these systems to spray these filters with too much oil. More is better, right? Anyway, it is difficult to determine when you have applied too little (which means the filter will not work and you will damage your engine), and when you have applied enough, and when you have applied too much. What happens if the buyer of a reusable air filter errs an the side of caution and applies too much oil? That oil will then COAT AND DAMAGE the Mass Airflow Sensor seriously degrading the performance of the car. A properly operating Mass Airflow Sensor is required to control the air/fuel ratio. This sensor is expensive. It can often be cleaned. But if damaged by oil replacement is often necessary. I have seen a number cars that have had this problem. Often the owner threw a bunch of parts at the car trying to solve the performance problem before I showed him that his problems were being caused by the after-market air filter he installed and the excess oil from it that coated the Mass Airflow Sensor. If you want to buy an after-market cold air intake system because you think it looks cool. Go ahead. Good enough reason. But if you claim it increased the performance of your car, I will laugh at you.

Does adding fuel in the carburetor air intake of a vehicle make fire come out of the exhaust pipes and make the vehicle move faster? (film related)

Well, all of the answers are right in a way. But, the principle is to boost an engine by making the mixture temporarily slightly richer. Basic supercharging. The idea is increase the amount of combustible material in the cylinder, it would work, but not much. I'm seeing the film next week, and I imagine that there is probably a great leap forward as he spits fuel in? SILLY NONESENSE, as the gains would be small. You do need more air to make the correct combustion, but a small amount of extra fuel will create a small amount of power increase, it's called "overfueling", making sure that the engine is running slightly rich instead of poor. Higher octane fuel vaporised into a low octane engine will help a little bit. Any unburnt fuel comes out the back, you can smell older vehicles do this at start up. Motors are not adjusted to overfuel because it polutes, but it can be done for small power gains, truck racing bieng a good example... The other thing that can boost a motors performance by small amounts is cooling the intercooler on a turbo intercooler engine, by spraying a (preferably) volatile liquid onto the intercooler which cools the air charge going through it augmenting the air input charge to the motor. You wouldn't use the "precious juice" to do this as the vapour cloud has every chance of catching fire... Either way, as said, it was probably for cinema dramatic effect for people who won't neccessarily pick up on it. Overfueling works better on older engines, with a loss of performance over the years, as new engines are more finely tuned creatures that won't like this kind of thing. It does work on fuel injected engines with MAF sensors (mass air flow) like Audi, we used to inject pure alchohol into the intake before the MAF and let the engine management sort it out for small power gains. Water vapour works as well, in small quantities. I'm not expecting to be impressed by the film for it's technical accuracy though...

Does cold air intake make a difference in carburetor-fed engines?

Yes it does. Unfortunately, carburetors demand constant tuning to account for ambient air temperature differences so it is difficult to feel any advantage since air temperature constantly changes and carburetors do not adapt automatically, To measure the advantage a vehicle would need to be run on a dynamometer to establish a baseline horsepower and torque measurement. Then the engine would need to be tuned with a cold air intake to measure the advantage. This would give you an idea of how much the difference would be.
