Once again, the "search" tool is just that...a tool. LOL Gave me nothin'.

Does anyone have a working air dam or hood scoop that rams air into the air box? Does it help at higher speeds to clean up haze?
 
Aw com'mon. It ain't so stupid is it? Wouldn't it reduce lag just a tad at highway speeds if the inlet air was pressurized ever so slightly?
 
"Ram Air" doesn't have much of an effect till you exceed 100 mph. I've heard that some jet engineering manuals don't start to factor in "Ram Air" effect till 120mph or so.

There might be a noticeable positive effect due to sucking fresh clean cool air off the hood instead of engine compartment air.
 
See Josh, that wasn't so hard. LOL

Yes, clean outside air that don't have to find its way through body panels and around all that crap. I guess the "ram" effect would all depend on the ground speed and the cross section of air you sample to squeeze down. Seems logical. I'm just thinking at 70 mph that if you had a slight haze, it wouldn't take too much more air to clean it up. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Burn me at the stake. I don't give a rat's patute. :D
 
And I'm not talkin' a Banks anything...just a simple, low profile, scoope for lack of a better word that dumps into the top of the air box.
 
Air speed, not ground.

Btw I had some problems this weekend and forgot to grab the turbine housing, I'll see about getting it to you sometime soon.

This project doesn't seem like it would be worth the time to me. It would be very hard to measure the gains IMHO.

I agree. The only "gains" I'm looking for is to clean up my exhaust without dropping injectors or hp elsewhere OR droppin' 2-3 grand on twins. My lag is ok actually but I'm not ok with hazin' all the time. The warmer it gets outside, the more it hazes.
 
There was a pulling truck at TS last year that removed his passenger headlight and ran some big PVC pipe out where the headlight was. Maybe you should try that. LOL
 
Maybe you should get a pipe rigged up near the drivers seat and you could blow in it when it hazes. Scratch that we all know that it would be just a bunch of hot air! LOL!!
 
I knew this would turn into a worthless thread....but I figured there may be SOME hope....negative. :hehe: If I could find an efficient way to package methane from the driver seat cushion, I could put a stage 3 kit on and have enough for a couple passes. :D
 
Maybe you need a smaller charger? I have a 57mm s300, I would swap ya out for your 62. You can keep your exhaust housing. I will keep mine.
 
I don't understand why you are hazing. My 150's never hazed with my 62.
