Ok you already know im working on RAM air. I got a few questions for ya guys. Maybe you can help me here.
My intake tube gets hot after a good 30 mile trip in 90 degree weather, guess I didn't drive it far enogh the other night. Any how I know from working in a machine shop that aluminum get hot fast,My 3 inch tube is aluminum,
therfor it gets hot.I cant be having that. Plastic, or even steel dont get as hot as fast as the aluminum.What do you recomend I make it out of now?
Second, is there a special filter for a ram air intake? I got the room now to build an air box where the battery used to be.
Third, if I do build an air box i will need some feed back on a Design,maybe
someone knows about directing air to maximize flow.Do I want a straight thru
flow or do I want to design it where the air box has some fins in it to divert the air flow using the whole filter not just a spot as opposed to the straight
thru design? Help me out fellas
There you have it see what you can do with it. LOL
I may be nutz but after getting the cold air in and switching to synthetic oil the car does seem a little more eager to get down and go. But I may be crazy!
