So take a look a this

I'm browsing on DSMtrader and see this 2G with ugly graphics on the side. I thought just for laughs i'm going to look at this....click on the engine shot and i couldnt believe it. Look at that filter on the dump tube inlet on the intake. Wouldnt that cause it to run quite lean with all that extra air being sucked in? i cant post a picture from dsmsource so here is the link to the ad. click on the engine shot, http://www.dsmsource.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=21275

What a ****ing idiot!!!!!!!
 
Yeah it would cause it to lean out

Yeah it would cause it to lean out

thats what i thought. thats the first time ive ever seen anything like that, i wonder what purpose he thinks that is serving

OMG people like that should be shot or drive a honda poor poor DSM

And yeah he would be running lean i mean lean is fast but more dangerous but thats not the way to do it

it looks like it was done by a drunken tattoo artist...and driven by a stripper!
 

thats funny AlZuben lol

I dont think he realises we are talking about the filter on the intake

oh, I thought you were talking about that hideous swath of 'tribal' calligraphy on the side of that pos.
 
I do like all the pretty anodized aluminum under the hood......I remember a guy in high school spent all his money on a crome air cleaner to put on his pos 318 Dodge Coronet.
 
If he had spent the money on a case of beer, we all might have liked him better.

Maybe you still dont get it.. the filter on that intake shouldnt be there...

no, i got that part....but I'm curious, he could have adjusted his fuel/air mixture, right? or he could have an ethanol injection system or something as well, right?
 
this is the air intake for the turbo compressor? is that correct?
 
I'll admit, I'm not getting what you guys are all going on about. I don't see how this is causing the engine to necessarily run leaner unless this is attached in between the carburetor and the intake manifold.

I dont think so either like sebba said the chrome and silver bent up filter sittin on the intake on the right of the MAF should not be there if i am thinking correctly that is the vaccuum tube that runs to the intake manifold and it is a dumb move to put that filter there thats not how the intake was designed now if he would of correctly sealed it that would be ok and than ran the tube coming of the intake manifold into a filter or a catch can than it would be ok but i made that rookie mistake way back in high school yeah its n ot correct you start running your engine too lean by pushing more airflow and less fuel and like i said running lean is in terms faster but that should be done in the computer through your air/fuel ratios not just by adding filters now if i am incorrect please correct me that is how i understand it

i had a breather filter before my maf sensor...it made my car lean and stall out....i took it out and the thing sounds great...idles a lil more than it did stock but performs great and my MPG is alot better too...the way his is is the same way i had mine.....learn mby experiance...in otherwords....u can buy the car....but that breather needs to COME OUT!!!!

jpmontero-No im not looking to buy it, i was just looking for parts and that came up.
ralliartracer- thats the inlet for the bov dump tube....not a vaccum line.

I see that now thats my fault 

no, the deal is that air filter is on after the maf sensor... which means the engine will be getting more air than the computer realizes... thus it won't compensate with enough fuel for the air/fuel ratio...  and thus the engine will be running lean 'cause there will be more air than fuel in the mixture...

Not to mention that the guy is venting to atmosphere.  which will also mess up his air to fuel ratio.

I got it now my mistake for my last post its not exactly correct

i can't imagine that car running well at all
