Abstract:
A cold air intake system is provided for actively controlling airflow based upon user input and/or demand conditions. Two air inlets are provided into a sealed air box with the secondary air intake including an air control valve for modulating intrusion of intake air. The valve has a valve seat formed the housing sidewall and a flap door valve member actively actuated via a controller. The mass air flow sensor indicates total demand. A pressure sensor and a temperature sensor provide additional input from the airbox. The controller modifies the valve position based upon pressure, temperature and mass air flow. Control is biased to increase secondary air intake when airbox pressure decreases and biased to decrease secondary air intake when airbox temperature increases. Controller biasing occurs between 30° F. to 160° F. and over pressure ranges between 0.01″ H2O to 5″ H2O.
