DIY Cold Air Induction Idea

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

What do you guys think of this DIY coild air induction?

If you dont' know how it'll work, just clamp the duct hoses onto those two nozzles that go down into the bumper from the stock box.

Any suggestions on how to make it better? lol i just want to know what you guys think before i do it.

And please no flaming each other on the debate of "Ram air". I just want to know what people think, and have good suggestions to modify it. thanks!

The black "cross looking" thing is a screw. You would screw in the metal with the holes onto the frame near the headlight. Just find any available screw.

any suggestions?

uhh for mine i just cut open the front of the lower part of the box. works fine for me :P.

oh and i removed that one part of the hose that goes right behind the headlight. not to shabby.

any pix?

[xns]

is this how to make a DIY ram air or cold air or both?

I took the resonator box out and hooked two hoses to the two holes in the airbox. I stuck the other end of the hoses to under area by the innerfender( where the resonator box was) Mine sounds like what your wanting.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

lol marshun nice. I was running that setup for about a day. But i wanted the cold air scoop to bring the fresh are directly to the box, so it won't dissapate throught the whole entire engine bay (altough, that would be nice if it wasn't made for the intake.)

[marshun]

hehe. well i have the resonator out also and a pvc pipe down there to direct the air up towards the filter. but idunno. i did the pvc pipe thing first and then i cut open the intake box :P. oh well. the engine pulls just a tad better and is definitely louder.

[Hellion240sx]

yeaj i think pix would do this thread some good! hint hint

[sk8erguy1501]

i did the same thing as sideshowbob.

1. take out resonator box.2. hook up dryer hose to the two holes comming out.3. put the end of dryer hose in the front hole of the bumper(by fog light)4. done.

[Hellion240sx]

what two holes and what front hole, i dont have any fog lights so i dont know where the front hole your talking about. i might have a diff bumper.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

lol you do, you ahve a 92, i have a 95

[Hellion240sx]

well i have an aftermarket bumper so im not sure what hole, heh, but the two holes is what im not sure about

[sk8erguy1501]

ive got a 95. the two holes in the intake box.

[Hellion240sx]

alright where's the pic?

[Hellion240sx]

my friend has a nice camera imma take mad pic's so that i can post of what i need to know what what is? so look out for that!

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

sorry my internet is out, and i have to jack someone elses wireless internet hacker i am . anywayz i'll get some up tonight

[fuzion]

Wow.. I think these would have been easier than my cold air intake

I took off my hood, bumper, bumper support, headlights, and front fenders...

Hehe.. just jokin I'm tryin to think of how I should do mine..

[MainEvent212]

get a turbo and I/C...cold air what? heh i dont make my power from girly filters and "cold air tubes"

i am ahnold :pface

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

not all of us have the money for that yet.

[240eseckz]

what i did was cut a big hole in that resonator box...than got a light switch cover...painted in black, than cut a rectangular hole on the bottom of the bumper and screwed the light switch cover on to it...up side down...looks good...and definately gets more air...

[MainEvent212]

so your cold air induction has an inlet that's like |__| big?

[240eseckz]

haha...not a light switch cover...i meant a power outlet cover...duh...its like 3 inches x 1.5 inches...

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

for the s14's there is a kinda ovalish opening on the bottom where the stock plastic tubes go. yeah it's kinda like what you drew, but ovalish, just picture a small gear then a big gear near it, connected by a pulley belt ie: o O. Just imagine that with the belt and in a shape of an oval. All i did was mash the dryer hose through there. Works perfectly fine!

I wish I can still drive my car, about 20 more days till i get it back!!!

my idea for my buddy Chris was to make that short intake after tossing the battery to the trunk. Move the mafs over to the battery tray side, punch a hole in the battery tray and have a 90 degree bend down into the area behind your bumper, in front of your wheel well and build a funnel like device to push the air to your filter from the opening in your front bumper

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

yeah thats cool too, but the theory is , the shorter the intake, the more HP, the longer, more torque. I dunno if this is true, but the idea for this project was to get colder, outside air into the intake.

[180fan]

isn't that for the intake manifold?

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

no. Well, you can kinda say yeah it is, because the intake manifold is connected to, well the intake.

I did something like this and posted about it a while ago. here is an image gallery.http://www.villagephotos.com/p...87960

I cut a black plastic garbage can into an airbox that seals to the hood. The only air getting in is from the front bumper air vent and the small gap created by the "Lazy Eyes". Using a temp sensor and cruiseing at 60mpg on highway the air in the box was only 5 degress above ambiant as appossed to the 100+F temps under the hood.

[SilviaS14KA24DE]

LOL thats EXACTLY what i did!!! I have the same inlet and the tubing, except the tubing fits the inlet. Anywayz looks good! Funny how it's the same exact thing.
