So today in my failed atempt to change out my burnt out bulbs in my headlights i did find something that could be put to good use in the future, i found that on the passenger side headlight area there is a pipe there that leads to the intake (a intake pipe)..

now for most this would mean anything..but i have a SRI KN Intake..so that intake pipe leads RIGHT into my filter/intake..meaning if i remove my headlight for the drag strip..will i not increase airflow to my intake? thoughts??

 

u'll have direct flow and cooler temps since its not travel thru the heated engine bay..havent u seen drap cars with there intakes in the bumpers?

 

yeah but the air id be reciving wouldnt be traveling thro the engine bay to my intake..it would be going straight from headlight bay-intake..

 

I think that's what he meant, and I agree, lower temps and maybe a tick of noticeable power. It would sure look funny, but it's a race, not a beauty pageant

 

yeah and id get attention from the old time announcer haha..there was this 240sx there with no hood that he keept calling "the hatless nissan"

 

There's a lot of cars that I see at the track that do this, you should see lower temps and slightly better times.

 

at my track we race at night. and ALL cars need to have working headlights.

 

Hehe so on the 2.0L we could take out our driver side fog lights

 

ouch, that sucks, I wonder if fog lights count?

 

someone else mentioned this about everyone with the other types of intakes (ss/sc). they noticed that when they took out their driver's side foglight they performed a little better. I might do it if I ever get to the track.

 

Here in Calgary at Race City we take out the drivers side fog light assembly. Now you have ram air. Its fairley simple to do. Remove the headlight. Then remove the headlight bracket. undo the wireing harness for the fog light. Un bolt the fog light. Put the headlight back in. This procedure is also good for taking a look at your air filter and cleaning the MAF.

Cheers

 

I take my headlight out at the track for direct flow into my Injen CAI.

 

the only thing i have ever heard about that is that you need working marker lights just so they can tell if somthing went wrong

i run with just my fogs every time that i go and they never said anything yet
