Question:

Will getting a air intake increase my horsepower in my car and by how much?

I‘m thinking about getting a short ram air intake in my car will it increase the horsepower? Also, I‘ve noticed that they have Short Ram, Cold Air, and Complete Cold Air Intake. Choice of 3. Which one is better and which will give me the most increase in horsepower and torque? I have a Celica GT-S the RPMS are 9000 redlined, and 180 horsepower factory level. The exhaust is already fairly big so I‘m not concerned about getting a bigger exhaust muffler. I need an air intake for my car. I also heard pulleys are good for more torque as well. I‘m going to get one of those next. How much increase in horsepower would a racing pulley give my car?3 seconds ago - 3 days left to answer. Report It

Answer:

once it has been contaminated with the water from the leak it can be very frustrating. you must remove the water from the line before you try to resolder. clean male and female very good,steel wool or sandpaper,reflux and resolder. hope some plumber can be of more help,
if you had tried to weld it when water was in it that was your problem to start with.remove any water in the pipe then rewelding it or you can try jb weld
It will depend on what brands you get. Some will tell you, and give you, more than others. For that car I would go with cold air intake myself and would guess it would give you an extra 5-10 horses but as I said the numbers will vary. As to the pulley they work in a different way. They do not eally add horsepower the just use the power in a different way, almost like turning your air condition off you do not get more power but the power that is already there gets used to turn the wheels instead of make the air cold. It is more tchnical than that of course but thats the easiest way I can think to explain it. For the power increse that you will see to the wheels it will depend on the size of the pulley(s) but if it were me I would just stick with the cold air intake if this is a daily driver.
