How would i increase the horsepower of my car only by changing the air intake?

i have a 98 Muercry Mystic and i know that when i get the air compresser and blow air directly in to the air filter chamber i get more horse power, how do i achieve the same effect with out having to buy a turbo charger. any one know of a simple home made device?

Any time you can increase the forced air intake on a vehicle you gain horse power.



There are aftermarket items (The Tornado) that are made to increase airflow without comprimising the smog aspects (like california smog laws).



It's also not so much as the actual increased air amount but the amount of air that is fed into the EFI/Carburation system that actually provides this 'Boost'

Opening up the intake allows the engine to breathe better. Try routing the air intake duct to point toward the front of the car where the most air comes into the engine compartment and also remove the intake silencer. Good luck.
Aerodynamics is also important, have a look at what is slowing the car down, such as open windows.



here's more on aerodynamic drag, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physi鈥?/a>



It's not the most important thing to think of, for such a car, but it does help.
you can also put in like 92 or 93 octane gas so it gives you more power and it let your engine run more smooth.
the only way to better yourself and your mercury mistake is to buy a for sale sign and put it in the window. or take it to the junkyard.

you can double the value of your mercury mistake by filling the tank with gasoline.
Get a free air-filter set by the car grint and change the last muffler boiler. You may change the whole muffler set, but it takes

a car horsepower study. If it is at a point of 5.0 lit. ,change the whole pipe set and add the free filter. You'll get some acceleration

improvement and a kick down betterment, but don't expect turbo miracles! Put a bigger radiator and fan elice too.-

you can buy an aftermarket intake that will force more air into the engine in result more power an also you could probly change the throttle body too a bigger one which will open up the air flow even more. and opening up the exhaust will help it breathe better
