Air box restrictor
Hey guys,
I'm sure somebody's mentioned this before, but I just ran across this on 4x4help: http://www.4x4help.com/tech/horn.htm There's a restrictor in the tube going from the air box to the throttle body that you can pull out for a little better flow. Here are pictures of the ones I pulled from my YJ 2.5L and my XJ 4.0L http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/IMG_0336.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/IMG_0337.jpg |

It's a venturi and designed to create the vacuum necessary to evacuate the emissions canister. without that, the canister will become saturated and die an early (and expensive) death. A properly designed venturi doesn't restrict much and the actual restriction is the air turbulence caused by the bellows. There is no appreciable gains from removing the venturi. (tested it myself) You can get a tiny gain from a larger diameter air tube, but the problem with venting the canister remains. However, take careful measurements of your fuel economy and see if there is a difference. If there was on my ZJ (and I tested it over a year) I certainly couldn't see it. -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://revbeergoggles.com HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |

Re: Air box restrictor
Thanks, Doug. There was certainly no mention of that in the write-
up. I think I'll leave 'em out for a while to see if there's any difference - if not, I'll put 'em back. You didn't happen to do a write-up on your site, did you?

Don't know if it's still in my collection. Nope, that was back when I was on a different ISP. Basically I track my milage every fillup (got a excel ------sheet to do it) over about a year I didn't see any difference, and my 1/4 mile and 0-60 times didn't change by anything I could detect. The only thing I did notice was more of a gas smell from the engine. Turned out that was the evaporative canister maxing out. Soon after I put the venturi back and the smell slowly went away. Later I put in the supercharger and didn't even think about it again till your post. -- DougW |
