Re: vacuum smoke thingy question
ok, wow.
i thought i didnt know anything.
have any of you ever seen the device that pumps smoke into the intake manifold.
thus pressurizing it, then the smoke comes out the vacuum leaks.
i mean c'mon guys, are you all ------- retarded?
and who ever said this would be happening when the car is running.
that goes against the entire idea of checking for leaks.
if the engine is sucking air then the smoke would just be sucked into the engine.
idk, seems fairly simple to me. just cheaper than buying the actual machine.
typing errors aside i believe this is the only one of you who understands what im talking about

Re: vacuum smoke thingy question
ok
what happens when you put dry ice and water in a bottle and cap it?
it pressurizes the bottle, then bang, a dry ice bomb correct?
so now, do the same but dont cap the bottle, instead place a hose from the bottle to the intake manifold.
bottle pressurizes.
excess gets pushed into the intake instead of exploding into the atmosphere.
as you can see in my first post, the question was how much dry ice would be needed to create enough gas to pressurize the intake.
your wrong, the fact that it creates pressure means it will do the job,
question is how much dry ice you need to create that pressure.
people should read the entire post before jumping on the idiot bandwagon.
(not directed at jay, more at the people after him i.e. toughnuts up there.)

A better way to check for leaks (staticly) would be to get a big conical plug thats the diameter intake pipe, drill a small hole in the center with a 1/4" bit, then shove a blow gun in it and pressurize the piping. Don't use shop air or anything (100psi would be bad) but hook up a regulator in line and run it to what ever boost level you run. Listen for leakies. Simple.
P.S. You're a ****** and should have clarified what you are asking before you get all but hurt because people flamed for making a thread that looks like it was written by a 16 y/o girl with her first car. :P

Re: vacuum smoke thingy question
ahh, i should have clarified or you should have basic comprehension skills?
perhaps if i could draw a cartoon with bright colors then you could grasp the concept easier.
alas, my art skills are subpar at best, evidenced by the picture above.
im not hurt in the slightest, i just was responding in turn to your dumbass comment.
but hey, i guess being a self-proclaimed "toughguy" dosent make you a smart guy.

Non the less, you have what you wanted. A perfect way to do a leak down test on your induction piping. Just disregard the part about using a regulator and get back to us with pics.
