Guest zfan Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 THINKING OF PUTTING RAM AIR SET UP UNDER HOOD WHEN I INSTALL COWL HOOD NEXT WEEK. ANYONE DO THE SAME, IF SO DID YOU NOTICE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE. ALSO IF YOU DID, DID YOU RUN HOSES OUT TO THE ALREADY CUT OUT CIRCULAR HOLES IN THE SHEETMETAL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RADIATOR. IT LOOKS LIKE A NATURAL FIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 If you look at my car in the featured rides section and in the Fuel cell install tech article, you can see how I ran the ducting. The answer to the performance question is yes. If you run the car with a regular airfilter, or one drawing air from the underhood HOT air available, you will notice that the motor isn't as responsive and probably won't accelerate as quick. I plumbed my tubes through those opening where the car gets its natural air initially... then summer hit and I needed fresh air to come into the car. So I re-routed the drivers side unit to run down to the brake duct opening in the spoiler. I now have fresh air, and still have two 4inch ducts feeding the carb.

Owen Posted August 11, 2000 Share Posted August 11, 2000 Don't know if this qualifies as ram air but I have sucessfully routed 3 inch tubing thru those holes and have a K&N on the end in front of the radiator but not blocking it.
