Air to Turbo

[Gregory OConnor]

Bill, like in our topic of door wind noise, turbulance of air causes
restriction of flow.Wind noise is a visual result of air
turbulance??? I removed a big acordian scoop from a tractor that
collected cleaner air from out of the hot engine compartment and
reduced the black smoke immediatly????? I learned that there was no
restriction in the pipe but my thinking is the air restricted its
self. you may notice corrigated 2 foot drain pipes stay cleaner than
smooth and bigger concrete pipe. the turbulant flow of water
restricts flow and uses the energy to work up otherwise settling
silt. I am sure air flow has major diffs than hydrodynamics??? But
turbulance causes heat and I wonder if 'just heated air' has
density lost??

I am not sure 'hot air 'is that much less dence than cooler air. I
understood the advantage to be 'air just cooled'.?????

Now DavidB and PeteM can add some math to convince you to look for
another project... Dig a pit and wait for the WhatsHisName's kids.
it's more fun than knocking beer cans off'a fence.

this should be adequate air flow, or maybe the intake to the filter
should be increased say to 7 inches. (38 square inches)

should be getting the colder air from outside?
