Italstalnprd86 is working on a ram air setup for our ss/sc's. im sure he will chime in to answer questions and whatnot so here are some pics...

 

That is awesome, im looking foreward to seeing how it turns out, Good luck

 

Great idea but taking out the fog light would have been ideal. The intake is right there. Who uses fog's anyways. I think they are over rated (now that i have my HID's) doesn't look right with the 2 together.

 

A ram air setup really wouldn't benefit on our cars because the air still has to be compressed in the supercharger before it enters our engine.

 

haha looks cool though!

 

very inventive man.. keep it up

 

Sewer hose? Ghetto hacking things like that is just asking for problems. Get a good CAI and do it the right way. As posted above, A ram air setup isn't going to help anything at all.

 

sweet, cant wait too see the outcome

 

isn't that like ramming rammed air?

 

The way I see it, the less the supercharger has to work to get the air it needs the less power it will take from the engine to operate. This is kinda like Natures twin-charge. btw Weapon R makes a bad ass ram air kit that Im getting when rk comes out with the new hood they're making. Im getting the weapon r cuz I didnt wanna do exactly what your doing

 

actually, it did help a lot, because now actual air is getting to the intake, i have the fujita btw, you guys think it was loud before with an intake, you should hear it now...... anyway, the setup is complete i will post some pics in a sec.....

all in all was a good project, it sounds very good, and seems to work well too.... i am going to get a new filter, one that the hose can be fed directly on to with an adapter..... i think with the stock air box a 3-2 inch reducer and the k&n it would be a decent set up, as you could just cut the bottom of the airbox and epoxy the reducer on to it...... if anyone is interested in one let me know, or i can repost the pictures in a nice little how to... cost me a little over 20 bucks for everything it looks pretty sweet too.... i used automotive weather stripping on the back of the velocity stack to more less keep it in place and keep it from scratching the paint.....

 

Let me know when a bird gets stuck in your rotors.

 

haha, real funny...... would have to go in the fender first... then through the filter.... i dont see how that will happen....

 

ok ok... here's a better question, are you throwing a CEL yet?

 

my thoughts exactly...

 

nope..... no cel, why would i get a cel? i have had the intake and i have not had one since i put it on 3 months ago.....

 

retracted... i looked at the pics wrong. i thought you fed the hose directly onto the intake...i just saw that the hose sets beside it...

 

would buying the new bumper kit that came out and leaving the injen in its place actually create ram air? the new bumper for those who havent seen it has a chicken wire insert where the fog light is.

 

which bumper... there are many...

 

this body kit

 

then yes that bumper would help...

 

so i guess i know one of my next mods. hopefully i get this job at the chevy dealer for a discount on stage 1. then i can order parts and sell them on css.net YES

 

That's illegal.

 

ordering parts for myself and then selling them on css.net??
