has anyone removed the stock air box on a 2.0 engine and replaced it with a short ram air intake? if so what do you do with the vacuum hoses so that they hold a vacuum. is there a tube that you can buy to hook them up to the intake system? will this even be beneficial?

Everything "upstream" of the throttle body is at ambient pressure. They're not at any particular level of vacuum. So you can join together all of the hoses that used to connect to the air cleaner with no penalty, just make sure the join and its source are big enough to flow the air needed.
AFAIK, the only real gain would be from moving the air intake to a cooler spot than the middle of the engine bay. Demick Boyden did a study on intake temps a while ago. He built an intake snorkel for his 2.0 from downspout material (Home Depot race engineering!) but then decided you could get most of the benefit of that simply by turning the intake around so it drew from the side of the engine bay. --DD |
