Engine Parts

Well, the next phase that in my modifications came in the engine department. The first modification that I made was to order a cold air intake system. Before you order your cold air intake, you need to know some information about your vehicle. The size of the engine for example, mine is a 2.2 liter ecotec 4 cylinder engine. That along with the make, model, year, should suffice when ordering your intake.

You may be asking why would I want to put a cold air intake on my vehicle, what does it do? Well, a cold air intake is a device used to bring lowertemperature air into a vehicle's internal combustion engine, to increase engine power and efficiency. It also enhances efficiency through higher flow, and can increase the life of the engine by allowing it to run cooler. So cooler is better. Plus it gives the car a nice, low "whine".

The process for installing a cold air intake is simple. Most systems that your order today come with a step by step how-to, to install the CAI. These instructions, like mine, included detailed verbal and pictorial aid.

There are several brands to choose from, weapon R, K&N, injen. Simply go online and google the your vehicles type and the words:cold air intake, sift through the results and see which brand suits you best.
