What is the purpose of fitting a cold air box on a Healey 100 ? Does the box reduce the effect of overheated petrol for which these cars are notorious. provide a minimum of supercharging, or render s

The purpose was to gather air from in front of the car that would be cooler than the air in the engine bay, most modern cars do this too. Cold air is more dense and contains more oxygen therefore whe

Hi Jaunito, The theory behind the cold air box is as the name implies. It is designed to provide the carburetor intakes with the coolest air possible to ensure that the induction charge is as dense a

Hi Juanito, Cold air boxes can be quite effective to increase engine power. ie. air density increases about 2% for each 10 degreeF drop in air temperature. An example would be a drop from 200 degrees

Wow! Are you really trying to say that a cold air box would make a 90 HP BN1 have 111 HP all by itself? I'm sure there is a small added bonus to having cooler air, but somehow I don't think that' 20%

Best I can come up with using gas flow rates is about a 15% increase in mass flow with a drop in temperature from 200 deg.F to 100 deg.F taken at a standard atmosphere (0 psig or 30 inches HgA). Of c

Hi Charley, Note that I said "about" 2%. The "actual oxygen ratio" of air does not change significantly with temperature so why mention it. With the relatively short "trunking" having about 2.6 times

A few years ago, there was a guy (forget his name) who successfully raced a who claimed his car performed better without the cold air box. I believe he used ram pipes. Could be the benefit of the coo
