Yes you made sense.... thanks for the info in chick-friendly language.
You'd be surprised how many women love to learn about cars.

i talk about cars a lot, so my wife is kinda burned out.

the electronic supercharger is not worth the plastic it was made from. due to the lack of air it "pumps" out it more henders the motor due to restriction. i have read about them and thought about putting one on my 99 neon and after reading it would be a waste. if ur looking for force induction go turbo or belt driven super charger.

GOD MADE TURBO LAG SO V8's COULD KEEP UP.... DuH!!!

But now if a SRT4 made 300hp before bolting the turbo on them thats a diff story and that would be wickedly fast..

the best place to aim the filter is down. most of the cold air is coming in throught the radiator and below the radiator. and since the radiator is warming up the air ie cooling the coolant, below the radiator is the best bet. this brings up another problem though, water. not good for the filter

so, ummmmmm have fun!!

come up with a intake plan, go to your exhuast shop tell them what you want done, bend some pipe, shouldnt cost much more than 100 bucks, the radiator doesnt emit cold air if anything its acutally giving off hot air by convection also it will block airflow. but yes if you can keep it high so water is not an issue, infront of the tire in the quarterpanel is generally good

Here's the Caliber SRT4 engine bay,notice where they pick
cold air for the turbo.

daytonakid · 02-10-2007, 11:46 AM

where they choose to put it is not nessacrly the best place to put it, im not saying behind the radiator is a bad spot(it is a better than in the engine bay, as long as rain doesnt get into it. ) If you go by where the manufature is placing it is the best then there are a gazzilion different places. My 88z had it in the front quarter pannel, you get the cool air that goes around your tire and up into your wheel well. Optimally if you can get a hood scoop and get a air box that lines directly up with it, that would be the best. look at the srt-10 viper.

im just saying for practicallity with coolest air, least water to get in it is next to the quarter panel

I found it on another forum,it was taken at a auto show in the US where the
SRT4 was on display and I believe if I remember rightly it may have
one of the California shows.
